Hello all and Happy New Year,
I'm new at posting on a forum so please bear with me. I was at a craft show recently with a few lady friends. One exhibitor was selling some spurtles and hand carved spoons. So of course I was told by my company to make some for them and a few of their friends. So my question is since the spurtles will be functional being used in hot or cold liquids, what would be the best wood to use, cherry, ash, maple,.... How about what finish should I apply if any or soak it in oil. Turning the spurtle is simple and I'd like for them to last a while.
Thanks. Glenn
