Sawing Pecan, Spice Boxes, Vacuum Drying

I’ve been busy working on numerous things.  In the shop, I continued on with the spice box project and on the sawmill, I cut a pecan log.  I also got the slabs back from being vacuum dried and I have a thin slab product in the works.

Carved Spoon by Patrizia

Looking through a pile of beech firewood, which is very common in Switzerland, we found some spalting going on in a few logs.

Patrizia from foifedrissg made several spoons out of this wood and I tried my best to capture the whole relaxing and enjoyable process of making a beautiful spoon.
