Default A Marine love spoon for my son....
I got this done in time for Christmas, and in time for some leave and liberty for my son, who's home from Camp Lejeune. It's from a piece of Ohio walnut, finished with Watco's oil and Bri-Wax. Mike

Mike - that is downright INCREDIBLE. I don't understand WRITING letters with a good pen. Carving them straight, even and beautiful from OAK is just .... well, incredible.

Great spoon Mike and best wishes to your young Marine and heres hoping he'll always be able to join you at Christmas time. I was lucky enough to make it home for Christmas in 1965 right after infantry training but spent the next 2 in Nam. Have a Very Merry Christmas.

SEMPER FI
