Digital_photog ★ Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share #75 Posted December 11, 2020 I know who one winner is. The second chance drawing will determine the second winner. That one we have to wait till everyone gets an equal chance. Just don't wait too long with your choices. Sometimes I get insomnia and wake up early. So it will end sometime between 2 am and 7 am. I think most (other than the owl) are having fun with this. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Digital_photog ★ Posted December 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share #78 Posted December 12, 2020 Our second winner will be drawn between the 2 other correct choices. @Zephyr and @jsharr I think jsharr may have figured it out from my facebook but I didn't post any rule against that and I also even posted a picture here with a spoon with the dark edge showing so you all had a chance at the clues. I think @Airehead is a very fair and unbiased person so I would like to ask her to draw a straw, flip a coin or some way pick our winner from those two. I didn't think that I may have the expense of postage to the Great White North Land, (Canada) but I will keep my word and ship a spoon to which ever one she draws as the winner. The spoons available will be posted in a couple days when I have them both carved so @ChrisL can have first choice of spoon as our grand prize winner. If @Airehead will do this great service for me there will also me a small spoon for her. This spoon would be suitable as a Christmas tree ornament, breakfast cereal spoon to eat your cheerios or maybe even a dog medicine spoon. I hope everyone (even @Kzoo) enjoyed the contest.

I gave lots of clues here and on facebook. I even gave the opportunity for anyone to change their choice. Thought we may see lots of correct choices by the end. @ChrisL deserves the win since he made a correct pick.... or should I say guess before all the clues. Other woods that do look a little similar would be hackberry, maple and the white sapwood from the eastern red cedar. If you know walnut well the dark flecks in the wood give it away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they are all unique which is why I love them. I am a beginner at carving. Mine still look like beginner work and are very primitive. Don't expect perfection. I'm just having fun practicing. These spoons are usable and the finish is a food grade finish. I guess I picked the right person to determine the winner. I think I still have your address but you can pm it to me to be sure. I think I can get these carved before Christmas but with covid delivery could be slow. All winners will get their spoon but it my take a few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital_photog ★ Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share #93 Posted December 12, 2020 @Airehead asked for a picture to show the difference in some of the wood. I don't have a piece of white pine or hackberry here in the house so you will see the rest. From left to right Mulberry, Cherry, Eastern Red Cedar, Black Walnut, Maple. You can see the difference in the ERC and walnut between the sapwood and the heartwood. Eastern Red Cedar is not a true cedar but a juniper. It is the aromatic cedar you would find in a cedar chest or closet lining. The other woods do not have a huge difference in color of the sapwood or heartwood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
