    Good technique with creating that spoon blank. I'm not too familiar with cottonwood bark but was wondering how porous is it? Would you use the finished cottonwood spoon for liquids or just dry goods? Thanks for the video.

    • @carvingthecottonwood
      @carvingthecottonwood Місяць тому

      I've stuck to dry goods, like tea, coffee, pet kibble, flour, etc. especially because of the way bark is layered, it can split and crack easily. The spoon's durability really depends on the piece of bark, and every piece seems unique like fingerprints. I've carved some that are hard like a rock, and others that didn't stand up to any use, and lots in between. The quality of the bark really depends on where the bark came from.
