I made this a little while ago and haven't gotten around to posting pics. It's a drink muddler made out of maple. Here is what it is and how it works if you don't already know. http://cocktails.about.com/od/cocktailspeak/g/muddle_spk.htm It's not the most beautiful thing, but it's...

A month or two ago, I found a nice maple log in a dumpster and decided to make spoons from it! Here are the results. I snapped the handle off the one spoon, now the bowl spins like a top. I went for a fully hollowed out spoon on this one. These had great grain. Thanks...

Here are the my latest carvings. :) Birch, this is kind of a weird pic.... Initials Birch scoop that I now keep in the freezer for scooping ice. Walnut spoon, this one was very twisty. I had given up on it because it was hard to carve, but I dug it out of the firewood pile and...

Here are my latest carvings, 3 spoons and a bowl. They are all birch. Mini-spoon All together! Thanks for looking!

Here are two new birch spoons I made. The one with the channel was a good mistake. I had accidentally carved all the way through the bowl! So I just made a nice straight hollow in the middle. The actual spoon must have a cool fungus or something that turned the wood blueish. These...

I think I'm ready to graduate from my Mora spoon knife to a better hand made one. Which maker is your favorite? I've been thinking about one of the standard hooks from Pinewood Forge. I like these because the shipping is reasonable because I'm in the US and so is the company...

Here are three bowls and one spoon that I've gotten done in the last month or so. They are all birch. I also took some in progress pics while I was working on the large bowl. Start with a round log. BTW, that is my carving block out of cedar. The guy that delivered it carried it by hand...

Here's my first bowl I ever made. :) My new makers mark is my initials, B.S. And here's another cooking spoon I made. It's also birch. I love this pic. For some reason, this pic makes the spoon look really antique. I am gifting the spoon to...

Hello! I have a maple kuksa in the works, and I was wondering how I should keep it from splitting/cracking. Right now I'm keeping it in a plastic bag filled with the wood chips, is that the right thing to do? I was also wondering when I'm done, should I boil it in salt water? If so, how...
