Hello everyone,
Yesterday I carved this serving spoon. It is in poplar of some sort, and I am afraid there is a crack running through the handle. (Although that isn`t the point of this thread)
Now I have this problem more often, but I experienced it very much on this spoon: When you carve the 'neck'-bit you need to come from two directions to follow the grain. How do you get this done without leaving a scar in the wood? I had to sand this one, and still couldn`t get everything right:
The line that you see on the left isn`t really a scar but but that vaguer one on the right is definitely one. How do you guys go about carving this, and how do you solve this, or even better avoid it?
