First Spoon Carve | Oak Porridge Spoon

[Clockworkwar]

I have just finished my latest spoon, a bit of a bugger as the wood log that I had available was oak that wasn't very green. It has lots of knots in it but hopefully I have managed to navigate my way around it and produce something to use in the making or porridge.

It now needs to be allowed to dry and I will oil with a mixture of Walnut oil and bees wax.

Tools used: Fiskars X7 hatchet, Mora 120 carving knife and a Ben Orford Hybrid Small Crook knife.

Spooky, I was just looking at this over on SOTP

In fact I was just about to watch the Rush animation on your blog and then the phone rang and I got distracted.

Terrific. Only done one oak one myself and that was a small one. I think it willlook stunning when oiled.

Cheers,
Leif

Nice job. The shape looks best suited to a lefty. Was that the intention?

Porridge rocks!

Its such a versatile food, you can bake with it, make patties and fry it, make it with milk or water, at fruit, meat, salt or sugar to make a different meal., it lasts forever if kept dry and is lightweight. Even if it gets a bit damp and goes mouldy it can still be used for soaking up oil underneath the land rover!
