What to do with a root

Many woodowrkers "see" a project inside a piece of wood. You don't need a lathe for most projects, just an imagination. The root can be cut into small boards, carved, or dried. It might be interesting to see the grain pattern and color. Why not take a small piece, sand, polish and finish it? I was amazed at the beauty of dogwood after it was polished and finished.
Carve a large spoon.
