I make a new "grandma" spoon for myself with each new tree species I come across.  So far I am up to 25, though I gave away a black willow (Salix nigra) spoon, and the American beech (Fagus grandifolia) was still being oiled at the time this photo was taken.  My aim for this and the next photo was to show the general appearance of the wood species I have experience with to show just how different the wood can be. a) blue beech (Carpinus caroliniana), b) honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos), c) shagbark hickory (Carya ovata), d) white oak (Quercus alba) that was ebonized, e) common hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), f) tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera), g) sassafras (Sassafras albidum), h) silver maple (Acer saccharinum), i) black cherry (Prunus serotina), j) flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), k) yellow buckeye (Aesculus flava), l) American basswood (Tilia americana), m) red oak (Quercus rubra), n) common persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), o) black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), p) black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), q) pawpaw (Asimina triloba), r) autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), s) black walnut (Juglans nigra), t) boxelder (Acer negundo), u) American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), v) unknown elm, likely slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), and w) hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana)
