Hi all, I've been lurking around this site for a while now and since it seems to be compulsory to open with a "my first spoon" post, here's my effort. I made it from some box that I had kicking about. Thanks for looking.

Nice spoon and classy wood to have kicking around. Well done for taking the plunge from lurker to poster.
Thanks for the comments, must admit that I was quietly satisfied with it for a first attempt.

You won't be infringing the rules if you just post the pictures mate. It's when you try to sell them quoting prices that it becomes an issue. Photos that showcase your skills and craft are always welcome.

............ ummmm how did you know?
Sorry didn't mean to freak you, I looked at your website saw you were near here and got curious as I didn't even know there was a Bushcraft school in the area so I checked the phone book. It did cross my mind after I posted that it might seem a bit stalkerish

Cool,
I was curious myself, admire your initiative and detective work!
I still think a sherbert is in order.

Thanks, the mutt is three quarters deerhound, quarter greyhound and 100% daft puppy,
Beer is definitely a good idea, BTW I know another like minded chap (lives in a yurt, carves spoons etc) v.close to you.
cheers
