A fine start!
The next ones will be better. Try sketching a design on paper and carving the spoon from the sketch. It is hard to visualize what the carving will be until you have done enough to see and carve your design. I will pick up a piece of wood and look at every angle until I see the finished carving in the wood. Then I start to cut it to look like the thing I see in my mind.

Nice one
I think there is an automatic first design for wooden spoons thats inbuilt into our brains, my first looks very similar, also silver birch.
Mines a ladle lol, its huge about a foot long, I didnt think just started carving.
I found it a very enjoyable thing to do tho, very therapeutic, apart from the multiple small nicks in my fingers
,
Like me you'll be checking other peoples work..saying "I could do that".
Happy carving mate.

I didn't have a clue
I just started carving the wood outside because it has been a nice day, I had a few hickups and nicks but I am pleased with what I have achieved.Now I just have to try and make one that comes upto John's standard
