A "nestle" of new spoons.

What does one call a group or collection of spoons?
I asked the "Spoon Carving, Greenwood working, and sloyd" Facebook group and my favorite response was "a nestle."  (Thanks Thomas Silberberg.)  So, here is the latest nestle of spoons, carved over the past week or so.  Mostly black birch, which I like carving but is quite hard compared to other birches I have used in the past.  I will let them cure for a while before they find homes.

  1. Lovely nestle (much nicer than "bunch") of spoons Eric! That black birch should hold up well in use too.

    1. Thanks Dave. I am interested to see how it holds up. This is not a tightly grained wood, but very hard and leaves a nice finish.
