Beautiful spoon. Carving it fresh after cutting from the tree will turn your carving time from labor to fun. Started carving spoons a couple years ago and green wood was a game changer for me. Hope that helps. Amazing eye you have for carving. 👏
If you'd axed out that blank in the first place things would have gone a bit easier. And here's a tip for you; next time you work with dry wood spray it with a half and half mix of alcohol and water. Let sit for about 30 minutes. Walnut?
And a damn' nice little spoon!
Fellow carver here. Keep it up!

Yes I know, but I never took the time to try. Thanks for the tip!
I'm almost certain that's walnut. Has a miserable half-grey half-brown colour until it's oiled and then it pops!
