This wee treen pot has some Scandinavian text on the bottom. Can anyone translate this and explain its possible meaning in the context of the pot?

Handwritten text on the bottom of the barrel which appears to read:

A few weeks back @jillswan10 and I ran a carving day together, I started this spoon from a bent piece of Cherry.
It's got alternating facets and curves, that really blend well for the eye, much more pleasing in person than the photos, and sometimes life if just like that.

This glorious piece of Cherry makes me smile so very much, the last of three spoons from this one billet I had, all the rest of the log looks like Cherry I'm used to.
I wonder what's caused this billet to be so different, does anyone know?

A vintage sepia photographic postcard of the Logan Rock, or Mên Omborth, at Treen in Cornwall. The Logan Rock is a logan stone or rocking stone which weighs between 80 and 90 tons and can be rocked by hand, though less so since the stone was dislodged by British Navy seamen in 1824. The rock lies within Treryn Dinas, an Iron Age promontory fort, or cliff castle.
