Thats well cool Fly next time yer up this way make it the summer time and I'll see about gettin ye a days fishing on the river Dee here .
Made another of thse wee salt Bowls this evening Its a bit deeper but made from the same branch of Beech .
Its great wood to work with and I was told that if its being used for salt to just use Olive oil on it So thats what Ive done . It realy brough out the colours and the grain of the wood.
Thanks for lookin folks.
Cheers

Nice one AL the spoon is a better shape on the new one and bowl is good too.....if you don't mind me saying AL, the spoon could do with being a little thinner at the front edge mate so it will scoop up rather than push around the salt.
