This is a redo of my wooden spoon submission. Yes, there were some fine wooden strands still on it. I went back and used a rock as well as actual sandpaper to get a better finish.  It now feels completely smooth. There are some rounded ridges on the concave part of it, but nothing that comes free or that you can feel as rough or loose. I would give this to my 90 year old mom to use.

Submitting my first ever carved spoon - made of buckthorn (left over chunk from the club mallet) using a pocket knife and later some chisels and sandpaper.
