Spoon carving seems like a enjoyable evening hobby. I have read up on it a little and it seems green wood is preferable to lumberyard material. Unfortunately I do not have a source. Locally, it is mainly juniper, which we call cedar, a couple species of oaks. There are a few cedar elms and on the east side some pecan. I only have live oak on the property. Is there a source online for good spoon wood? If so, which species are good for a beginner and which are good for creating an attractive finished product.
