Thanks for your comment. The wood is easier to work when green, if you are competent enough and needs must, it is fine to work seasoned wood. I rarely have any problems with splitting - make sure you dry it slowly if it is green wood you are using.
For eating utensils I use mainly birch, alder, sycamore and beech -- there are many more. As far as identifying goes, I would suggest you obtain a good tree field guide book relative to the area you intend to search. Good luck with your carving and always keep your knives sharpe!!

Neat videos. You do a great job. What about a finish on the kitchen utensils? Is it necessary to coat them with anything?

Thanks for your comment. You do not have coat it with anything, but if you do use any vegetable or nut oil.

Great work. Does the wood always have to be green when you work it and if so is there a problem with splitting on these smaller pieces.
