Indeed is the best way to carve a wooden spoon with the grain or against the grain ?

Would it depend upon whether the spoon is left-handed or right-handed? Serious question, for example this wooden spoon is right-handed:

It just won’t work left-handed.

Is mains cable directional?

It definitely is, even with a large hammer I couldn’t get the IEC into the wall socket, and the pins on the mains plug dented the back of my 52.

My mother had a fast hand with the wooden spoon back in the day……

Sad person that I am, your spoon is beech and machine made, so the handle has been cut with the grain, the bowl has been hollowed, probably with a dome shape type of router cutter. The corner scrape would first have appeared on both sides, then one or the other is cut away, so I would argue that it it is the end user is right or left handed.

Reverse image of left handed spoon

Works either way … depends if pulling towards or pushing away……

Careful, the missing thread was caused by stirrers…

A stirrer can well be used for a slap on the knuckles.

I hope the weather has improved in old Blighty.

Warm and bright sunshine when I went for a lunchtime walk. Forecast to rain solidly for the next 24 hrs.
