Nice looking spoon Kepis I've got a poplar log in my yard and this has inspired me to get carving with it

Very nice once again.
When we did our spoon carving course with Robin Wood, up here at Chopwell, he supplied us with some lovely poplar logs as our base material.

smashing wood for hand carving spoons but we made a load of large tent pegs to start with too. Once dried, they proved to be surprisingly robust, much more durable than we expected.

cheers

Cheers Steve, know what you mean about the wood, it's quite surprising how robust it is

Do you have a day job? That's grand mate, you seem to churn things out like some kind of crafting machine!

I love the lines of this spoon. Great job. Are you a finish with the knife or a glasspaper finish man?

Cheers Crarg, i use both finshes, all depends on the spoon and/or the day.

I really like to finish with the knife as I like the knife finished texture. But you right as sometimes the object/wood lends itself to glass finish. But really do you have a day job

NOT BAD Kepis.
I came away from my walk with a piece of wild cherry, and a lump of birch that was as bent as a saxophone.
Guess what I'm trying to make with the birch, (think soup).
