My work is next to a building site and they were felling trees there today so I went over and asked for piece. They very kindly gave me this.
Pattern 58 cup just for scale.
Now I'm very new to carving and would like to have a go at a spoon or 2 and maybe a bowl though this might be biting off more then I can chew.
What's the best way to go about this and cut up this log ?
Also it was chopped down today so should I leave it for a bit before I do anything or do I need to crack on before it dries out ?
Any other information would be gratefully appreciated.
