first spoons i am willing to share photos of

[Man of Tanith]

So i now feel happy enough with some of the spoons i have carved to share them with everyone,prior to this i produced what Mesquite terms bowls on a stick
the smaller of the two was carved whilst i was at Rough Close under the expert tutition of Mesquite, John Fenna and Dr Jones, its made from holly and is nice and dinky to go in my brew kit bag,
the larger one is carved from some birch i liberated after it had been felled and was going to be chipped, its a bit bigger and is perhaps more of a spontula allowing it to used whilst cooking and for eating.

Nice work Crook knife cuts are the worst, I made a spoon out of my own finger once, took a scoop out of it

 

[Ch@rlie]

nice work, well done

Nice one Sam

I like the handle shape 'spontula'. As for the cut... at least you did the sensible thing and kept the blood off the wood. It's a bugger to get out otherwise

just go it on alex's tshirt somehow?
its not the first crook knife injury i've done myself i must admit, i stuck one in my palm last year, you'd think i would of learnt from that

It's great to see the variety of spoon designs that seem to crop up. Job well done I would say.

great job! miles better than my attempts at spoon carving thats for sure...keep up the great work.

 

[John Fenna]

Looking good!
Spoonknives have a taste for human blood.... but well done for keeping it off the spoon and sneakily using your pals shirt as a bandage!
Heal fast - and try to keep all the scars in one place...eventually you get one big scar which no longer bleads if you slice it yet again....

Good job Sam

Id love to make my own cooking spoon, and yours look really good chief. Do you keep them looking like that, or do you need to add some sort of stain or wax to the wood?

i just rubbed them with olive oil, although you can out any food safe oils on them.
one of these days i shall treat myself to some decent spoon knives.
thanks for the kind words
