Applewood spoon (first attempt)

[spandit]

Was very kindly given a rough blank by Hugo & with some guidance from him & others at the recent meet, made this spoon. It was tough going as the wood was really hard but it's undeniably a spoon, albeit a "rustic" one

i'd say that's cracking for a first attempt, good work

My first attempt ended up as a pile of wood shavings so well done!

 

[Harvestman]

Dammit, is everyones first attempt at a spoon better than mine?

 

[Kepis]

That turned out brilliantly, still working on mine, well i will be later in the week

Perhaps at the next meet we could do a spoon carving work shop if people are interested in doing one?

Clearly you didn't read about mine

Well done mate it looks pretty good, you can stir my tea with it on the next meet.

 

[diddhi]

Thanks everyone. Had a lot of guidance and the shadow conveniently hides a gouge in the bowl that was too difficult to sand out!

 

[Hammock]

great start. Likin' the narrowing at the neck

Nothing wrong with that spoon mate, cracking job.

 

[woodspirits]

real nice spoon mate, good job my first and only attempt looked more like a distorted toothpick!

Nice spoon !
Dried apple wood is a bit discouraging to work with , especially on the first spoon .

 

[Hugo]

All the spoons I have made have been from dried wood, me thinks I'll do it with green from now on.
As you say dancan it is hard work.
