Hey Everyone! My name is Zane and I live in Denton, Texas. I’m fairly new to woodworking and my main interest is in using hand tools. I recently started carving spoons and I became addicted instantly. I joined mostly because I’m looking for a good source of green wood that will work for my projects, but I’m also looking forward to being part of the community and getting some good feedback/advice. I’ll include some pictures of a couple spoons I’ve done recently.

I agree about the spoons! What hand tools do you like to use?

Zane, Welcome from San Antonio! My daughter went to UNT, I like Denton! Very nice spoons man.
I'm sure you'll find wood you can use here. @Eric Rorabaugh is a dam Yankee but he's got some good stuff that's green.

Welcome Zane. Glad to have you. As Barry mentioned, I sell dozens of boxes of spoon and utensil carving wood on my Etsy site and to others here. Let me know if interested. I had no idea how many spoon and utensil carvers there are in the USA until I started listing boxes for sale.
