Couple of cooking spoons in Ash, carved octagonal handles and heavily tooled bowls, just for a change, ten pence piece for scale.

Gorgeous.
Really tidy lines and a useful- looking, elegant shape. I'm guessing the timber was green?
Did you use a spoon knife or adze for the bowls? Mind you, it would be a small adze.
Yup, carved in green timber, although i have carved seasoned before, it's a bit of a challenge lol.

Just my Ben Orford spoon knife used to carve the bowl, i do have a very small adze though, but not used on this occasion, i put some pics of it up way back when in this post https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/small-adze.107251/post-1335626

Very nice.
Shallow curve on the spoon knife?
Sadly your blacksmith has retired. It looks ideal.
I'm sure Dave Budd could hook me up when funds allow. They're probably a bugger to forge.

Just Bens regular spoon knife, normal curve, the larger of these two

Didn't realise Paul (Blacksmith) had retired, not seen him for a couple of years
