Do you know the difference between a shovel and a spade? The best wooden spoons are shaped like shovels, with the handle at an angle to the bowl, rather than inline like a spade. If you make such a spoon out of straight grained wood it will have weak grain at the front edge which will eventually break during use. If you make it out of a branch or “crook” as shown here then the grain is strong at the leading edge of the spoon where it gets the most wear. | Wood Tools
