A bit more carving

[Hammock Hamster]

Hi all,

I had promised to make a spoon for my mum in time for Xmas (yes last Xmas) and got a little side tracked and unearthed the half done blank this afternoon.

Finally finished it off which put me in the mood to do a bit more so grabbed some wood I had slowly seasoning in plastic bags whilst I decided what to use it for.
I ended up with a another spoon that I couldn't decide what to do with so attempted some decoration and a letter opener I will pass on to a pal at work.

All three are made from lime and finished with olive or veg oil, I have taken pics before and after oiling as I can never decide which looks nicest.

Cheers, Hamster

Thanks guys,
i'll be honest im not 100% happy with the letter opener and 2nd spoon but they were more something to while away an afternoon and try out something different, may try refining the process when i get the chance.

Cheers, Hamster

The first spoon is lovely. Great shape and the grain looks really good running the length of the spoon. Well done.
