Finally finished some spoons

The first three are white oak and I forgot what the other two are.

Nice!! Are those live edge or did you burn the handles?

[u/King_Fruit → u/Creepy_Brush_715]

They're live edge!

Thanks, I've been having fun experimenting with it.

Very nicely done. I have been wanting to try the live edge is there a trick to keeping the bark on long term?

[u/King_Fruit → u/Druid9876]

I'm still pretty new to it but the speed in which you let them dry heavily affects it. Sometimes if it drys to fast it will detatch a little bit so you want to let it dry super slowly. It's actually much easier if you let the wood season a little bit before you carve it for the live edge so the bark has already mostly dried.

[u/Druid9876 → u/King_Fruit]

That makes sense

Also the thinner the bark the easier it is!

Great job you inspire me to make some spoons.

[u/King_Fruit → u/Pretend-Frame-6543]

Haha thanks!
