You want to make spoons from a type of wood that will not break once completed and being used yet not so hard you get frustrated on your first carving project. Don’t use green wood or you will be displeased with any possible cracking once it dries.
Cherry, Birch, Maple, Hickory, Ash, Beech, Sycamore, Apple, Locust wood may be a great option but honestly just pick up a chuck of wood and experiment.
Pine wood is too soft, Oak is too hard and Cedar should not be used to make a kitchen utensil for eating.
