Another Spoon

[Bishop]

I really need to find a piece big enough for a matching wooden bowl lol On the plus side with all the lockdown practice my spoons are starting to get thinner and more delicate.

That looks like it'll make a good racing spoon

Gives chicken a squeeze...by jove you are right
width/depth is just right, just a couple of high spots to sand down and stop it rocking

That's realy nice. I try but I'm not very good at all.
Was just starting to carve the bowl.. and the handle broke. It was a nice bit of birch.

Attention!
If they become too thin they will break easily!

Woody Girl, I make the spoons like that, that the inner curve is exactly the curve of my knive, where the edge goes up to the tip. The results are pretty close to a bought steel spoon and like this I can work without spoon knife.

I carve the outer line, than the hole (don't know even in German how to name it correctly) than I scratch the inner with the curve of my knife, and the handle I carve in the end after I gave it in the beginning a rough shape.

I think it's like carving most anything. "Carving Sharp" tools. Got the right tools for the task?
Learn the wood. This could take a while. Birch spalts so easily that wreckage is a real possibility.

10 spoon starts:
3 die
3 become the living dead
3 turn out OK
One spoon is exactly what you hoped for.
