Here is what I made for my little sister.
Here you have three views of the same thing. On the left, we have a butter spreader made of bloodwood. Very pretty. Bloodwood is very hard and makes pink sawdust. Next we have another walnut spoon. Walnut is kind of splintery and needs a TON of sanding. The third item is a maple spatula. It is hard to see from the picture how thin I made it. I wanted it to be thin enough to use as a pancake flipper but still be strong enough to last for decades. The last item is a walnut butter spreader.
Now, what you can't see in the pictures is how beautiful the bloodwood is. It polishes to a nice shiny deep red. The main problem is that it likes to burn up saw blades on the scrollsaw.

You have been busy! I really like the handle shape of the walnut spoon, with the slight swell at the end.
all I can say is beautiful
