@MigsGarden Thank you very much!

@canyakker Especially not since its Christmas :)

@canyakker Yours is more correct and mine rhymes a bit... I think yours got first place again ;)

I took the liberty of giving this interpretation of the porridge rhyme:
Porridge and milk in a mild combination
Gives a hint of Gods creation

Porridge spoon carved from beech wood.

This Sunday my Swedish porridge bowl, that I think is from the 1920s, rhymes in the following way:

Gröt och mjölk i mild förening
Ge en vink om lifvets mening

Have a merry Christmas! :)

(English translation is difficult, help is much appreciated)

@temptoetiam If there was a slöjd flag... ;)

Axing a scoop from cherry wood.

@spoonsbyhanes Thank you so much! The grain of this piece of cherry wood did the decoration :)

@valentinzi I think the knot adds more to the aesthetics than (k)not! It would be a good knot joke if that happened ;)

@rcr Thank you so much!

@wnd Thank you very much for this third translation! I think this one gets shared first place ;)

@canyakker Thank you very much! I like your translation more ;)

The meaning of the rhyme roughly translates to:
The stream of the speech rises from the coffee
The one who eats porridge shuts up

Porridge spoon carved from a fallen branch of cherry wood.

This Sunday my Swedish porridge bowl, that I think is from the 1920s, rhymes in the following way:

Talets ström vid kaffet stiger
Den som äter gröt han tiger

@frierbyen Thank you! Those are really lovely wooden bowls, they would go together with the wooden spoons like milk and porridge :)

@canyakker Haha that's why I avoided the word punch :D This german Punsch sound similar to what we have here.

@canyakker Deep'L is very clever :) In Swedish punch is a kind of schnapps, you have this punch in Canada as well?

Here is a very primitive English translation of the rhyme:
My stomach is destroyed by the schnapps
I cure my self with porridge
for lunch

Porridge spoon with decorations, carved from beech wood.

This Sunday my Swedish porridge bowl, that I think is from the 1920s, rhymes in the following way:

Min mage är förstörd af punchen
Jag botar mig med gröt
till lunchen

@jlbouzou That's funny :) Maybe photography is a bit like artistic espionage on reality? :) Great photo!
