Default a few new Lovespoons

Just thought I'd share a few pics of some recently-finished lovespoons.
I've started putting little hidden details on the backs, too, just for kicks. I always carve the backs, but these are details that aren't also on the front. So much fun! Suggestions? Criticisms? happy to hear 'em!
These are cherry, walnut, or mahogany, btw.

Excellent carving on all spoons, you are a very talented carver to do such beautiful work. Thank you for showing them to us.

Very nice carving. I like the concept of back carving. The comment from Cliff is just icing on the cake.
