I had some 3/8" basswood, so I turned it into some spoons, hope you like them. Skip

I've seen a few love spoons but not like you've posted here. The dark and light adds a very nice contrast. I can't believe I haven't tried an Irish Love Spoon with me being a strong Irishman.

Lovely work. I like the lines on the second picture. I also agree the dark and light makes for nice contrast. Did you burn the wood to make the dark areas?

I agree with Patrick I really like the color variety adds a lot to the spoons.
Excellent work!

I agree with everyone's remarks. They're terrific, we don't see them often in my country

The background does look nice. I like the first one best because you have added some depth with the 3D ribbion wraping around the spoon, nice affect!
