Vince your a wood worker, well sort of, I should of said a man of many hats that fit well.
Looks like a sauce spoon, your mom should like it, however the finish could be a problem depending on what you put on it, "cooking oil maybe ?"
Sounds like you have a nice Christmas on tap, I sure hope so, that goes to all who are looking in, might as well add a wonderful New Year that's right behind it, I think we're going to need it.
