At last starting to get back into things, including my carving which ive not been able to do much of at all for the past 18 months due to a protracted recovery from a long term illness which basically left me paralysed and amongst others things, needing to learn how to walk again.
Anyway, i finally got this Hazel spoon finished off yesterday afternoon, id left it far too long to do and i kept moving it from one end of the work bench to the other and back again, carving it was hard going, not only because it was rock hard dry, but also because of my current lack of dexterity, so to make life easier for me, I elected to sand it rather than go with my customary tooled finish, all that sanding also gave my arms and shoulders a half decent workout too.
