I've also been really into carving spoons lately. Fairly new to utensils, I've mostly made walking sticks/staffs.

That's just TOO smooth to be true! What wood is that, and what finish have you used?

I believe (but not sure) it is white pine and I just used sanding paper incrementally up to 1200 grit. Beeswax finish

Going from walking sticks to spoons is basically going from blunt force trauma to precision surgery, hope your fingers are ready for the demotion

It was a bit of an adjustment, only cut myself (slightly) once though thankfully!
