have spent most of the day working on this.
I had a set of wood carving tools of my good lady for Christmas so thought i would have a go at carving a kuska, got a burr and started by shaping the basic bowl, then shaped the handle and carved some basic shaped detail, next started shaping the bowl a little more before i started to hollow it out. found a crack in the wood, started to cut it out on the optimistic hope that it would be shallow and not really effect the rest. have now gone at least 6 mm into my bowl and still it goes on. any advise???? really frustrated as i have spent all day getting this far.
