Michael "Skeeter" Pilarski, permaculture and wildcrafting instructor, talks a bit about what makes the best wood for carving a wooden spoon.
This was filmed at sahale. As part of the washington state permaculture convergence.
Skeeter mentions why eucaluptus would make for a terrible wooden spoon (taste). Skeeter talks about serviceberry (I have a hand carved serviceberry spoon).
Skeeter talks a litle about cottonwood and yew.
My later research shows that maple might be the best, followed closely by apple.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the email Paul, the dude was funny and informative - though he digressed. I also liked the log splitting video too.
