Nice scoop Hoodoo.
AND a carving jack?
Very nice Hoodoo, I like that a lot.
Did you carve that from green wood or was it dry? I've got a bit of dry walnut lying around but the hardness of the wood has put me off trying to carve anything with it.
That's dry walnut. I've never carved walnut green. A great carving wood. Harder just means take your time and keep your knives sharp. Flexcut knives in general are pretty robust for carving dried hard woods.
really like it. Not being a coffee drinker myself, is there a set measure for a coffee spoon. Think I know someone who might be getting one for Xmas
Am I right in thinking this is one of the black walnuts rather than Juglans regia our commonest walnut in the UK? I milled, carved and turned a huge black walnut 20 years ago and it was a joy to use though smelly. The Persian, English or Common walnut I have found mostly to be a disappointment in the UK. We find a big tree and imagine gorgeous brown gun stock wood but in fact 90% of it is creamy bland sapwood. Nice design of coffee scoop, like faceted handles.
