First Spoon and Stool

[Buggane]

I did post on here a while ago about the first spoons I had made but I never got round to posting a pictures because I managed to miss place my camera but as they say better late than never. Here is a love spoon carved from mahogany, i started carving it out using those cheap crafts gouges from ebay and quickly realized they were probably worth less than the £3 I spent haha. The picture was taken before it was finished but it was eventually finished in danish oil.

and a quick log stool I made the otherday so I could sit in the sun.

I think the images should appear but if they don't my new blog can be found here: http://www.tumblr.com/blog/buggane-bushcraft

Thanks for looking

Nice work, Spoon and stool look really good. You didn't get on with the Mora spoon knife then.

Thanks guys

Nice spoon! You were very ambitious on your first one. My very first one was more like a stick with a hollow bit on one end and a narrower bit on the other... I like the looks of your mora spoon-knife too! Have you stained the handle?

 

[Buggane]

i've done some very basic whittling before so the spoon didn't feel to ambitious at the time although my hand was dead after 5 minuets haha. I used kiru sumi tattoo ink with water to stain my spoon knife. it's a very strong pigment and has held well on other projects regardless of dirt or wear.
