I like that one more, because of the simple lines and wonderful handle grain.
Very nice, colours are wonderful, will we be carving beech spoons on our next bimble, still some beech left where we went last time out.
I think im with you on that, overall it's a less fussy, the shorter handle helps as well i think?
Proportions are better all round, especially the join between bowl and handle, which looks a bit narrow on the first one.
Huh, look at me, passing a critique on your carvings, all of which are waaaay better than mine...
one in the sprout bowl and one for the broccolli,
Then he'll need a third one for the baked beans!
Seriously though Mark, they are both really lovely. I must get out and collect some decent wood and get carving, you're leaving me way behind.

i think a poll to have him kicked off bcuk is overdue....

If you kick him off BCUK then you have to look at my spoons instead, and they are rubbish in comparison.
The campaign to keep Kepis starts here...
Trust me, you don't want to see my spoons. Put you off your food altogether, that will...
Besides, if we kick him off I will be made redundant before my career as a woodcarving critic has even started, and I was really looking forward to saying things like "Nah mate, that's rubbish. I could do far better if I had the time", or "It would look better with a sanded finish".
campaign to have harvestman removed begins here!
