Here's a photo of my 2nd attempt at carving a spoon. It's made out of Olive wood with a Walnut oil finish. I was planning to use Olive oil but was worried that it might turn rancid. I used an axe to rough it out and then a carving knife/hook knives to finish it. It's not perfect and has a slight twist in the handle but overall I'm pleased with the result. I'll try another one as soon as I heal from the cuts and scrapes.
