Musical spoons are traditionally made in Quebec from hardwoods. The logs must be harvested in winter, when the trees are dormant and the wood not engorged with sap. The logs are then cut into planks thick enough to carve the spoons.The pieces are then stacked to dry, well protected from sun and rain. It takes at least three or four years to air-dry a piece of hardwood of this thickness, but even after that, kiln-drying is necessary to achieve an acceptable level of humidity and to ensure that the wood remains stable and the spoons do not tend to warp.
