I like salads probably more than most guys - mix of French heritage and being a gardener and forager. So, when I began carving what was to be a spoon (on the left) and found a tiny worm hole I decided to make a salad set instead. Such little worm holes change the wood in beautiful and surprising ways. In fact, a lot of carvers specifically search for such wood. So, I thought this would be a nice way to show off the variation since the scoop on the right has such perfectly straight grain. Both pieces came from the same log, by the way.
