first spoon out of ponderosa

[forginhill]

I finished my first spoon out of ponderosa pine. No plan to it, just started whittling, so I don't know how practical the design is. I made some crooked knives and gouges for carving. I like the way both tools work and haven't settled on a preference yet.

These are the crooked knives I made.

And the gouges (with really ugly handles).

That's one of the most attractive spoons I've seen.
Very nice indeed.
Well done.

Brilliant. The tools are amazing, must be incredibly satisfying to make and use your own woodworking tools. I have some lovely tools but lack the knowledge of smithing to be able to produce them. Hopefully one day!

Thanks for the feedback!

Hope you can get a forge going soon, Leo. It's very easy (and cheap) to make a propane burner from simple plumbing parts and a coffee can forge.
