Happy Valentines Day! How Sad Am I? (spoon)

[Muddypaws]

I've been working on this love spoon lately, and the sad (pathetic!) thing is there is no Mrs Muddypaws to give it to, nor likely any prospect of one on the horizon. I just carved it 'cos I like carving!
It needs a bit more work cleaning up the inside curves of the knotwork. If there is an easy way to get a good finish on wood in tight spaces without resorting to abrasive paper then I have yet to discover it.

Thanks for looking.

Lovely work, I am sure the future Mrs will love it

 

[Dreadhead]

nice one, there be many a lass that would snatch that up i reckon

 

[Shambling Shaman]

That's lovely and not sad at all, if you want sad you should read some of the verses I write in the wife's cards

Women don't want carving they want poetry...

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I have a knife...
Get in the car!

You obviously have a knife if you made the spoon. Food for thought...

You are a bad man Llywd! Made me laugh though, although I must say " Kids - don't listen to the bad man! "

And now we go from bad to verse - Niels you have missed your calling as a romantic poet. :yelrotflm

To everyone - thanks for the positive comments!

Beautiful mate.

Your problem is that neither Valentine nor February rhymes with spoon. Now come June, post again with the right verse and you can call the tune, under the moon, she'll be with you as soon as she's woon.

nice work. I started carving a spood for mrs w but it is still in the toolbox waiting for me to have time to finish it. I've never had to resort to abrasives, if you work with the grain using a fine blade to get into the tight corners, with a scraping action take fine shavings. always work with the grain

 

[Perrari]

Very nice work ! Nothing sad & pathetic about that. Finish it & keep it, she will come along.

Thanks for the advice. Today I have been grinding a bit of HSS hacksaw blade into a mini cabinet scraper. It comes to a fine point so I can get it into the tight corners, and it seems to do the job just fine.

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments!
