Heres an update, one day later:
Again
today, in-between fielding unpleasant, unproductive phone calls, I sat
on the back porch and completed work on my first bushcraft spoon. I
carved the entire thing with the pictured Morakniv Classic 2/0, the
Morakniv 164 spoon knife that just
arrived today, and a bit of sand paper. Can anybody tell me what type
of wood I have used?...I'm suspecting Black Walnut or else Oak, but I am
not sure. Also I need a suggestion for an oil to put on the spoon so I
can use it to stir my coffee when I am out in the bush.
Back view--
I've been told by an artist friend it might be Spalted Maple....which makes sense. It was a very well-seasoned piece at the bottom of a firewood pile:
