Not sure I've seen that style ladle before. I've seen them carved at the junction of a larger section, above the pith. If you ever do a video on carving one, that could be interesting! Thanks for the video!

In my “forest” (now down to about 12 trees) I have cherry, black cherry and sassafras. I’m not too fond of the latter the the two cherries are great. There’s some real fireworks going on in that black cherry. It’s in my A-list of woods I’ve had access to.
