birch would be my choice buddy There’s probably better woods out there but I’m not great with the names lol… don’t let the wood dry out too much mate as it can be a barsured to work with…. If your anything like me then make sure your first aid kit is ready to go lol

Lime is good for carving projects.

The long handle reminds me of Gandalf's pipe

I nearly always go with hazle for my walking sticks and spoons, rough carve when the wood is green and finish off when its seasoned. I did carve a deep bowled spoon in beech and a kuksa in ash but they are very hard to work and not something I would recommend. I'll take some pics and post them tomorrow

Last spoon I carved a couple of years ago, cherry if my memory serves correct.

You most certainly do, it had red scales on it when I had it from you. Unfortunately I lost it during the last house move. Completely gutted! I have a replacement but it doesn't have the split in the Philips screwdriver
