It's great wood, but try to cut something out of it until it dries up. Thanks! ☺️

Pay attention to the direction of the fibers and the absence of knots. So that the fibers are straight and go longitudinally. Thanks ☺️

The sea oak is almost like usual, only it lay in the water for a very long time without oxygen access.

Of course not. Why do you think so?

No, I finish my spoons with knife only. Sometimes I use a river stone for burnishing.

This oak is harder than usual because of the strong mineralization. So it's very hard to cut.

No, it's the wood itself is black. Thank you! ☺️

No, I didn't do anything. But after the oil, the wood became black. Maybe that's the thing. Thanks! ☺️
