Holy crabapples, ANOTHER 1st spoon thread....

[merrygold85]

Hey,

Back in November I went down to say hello to the guys at the Brockwell Wood meet and left with the beginnings of a beech spoon which I worked on a bit at home till all that was left was the "bowl".

Well last week I got myself a crook knife for my birthday, yay! But it was rusty so I had to send it back, boo! And I got the replacement today, YAY!

Sick of the sight of a half finished spoon, I lashed into it and so below are some photos of my first spoon.

Cheers

Liking that spot on...did you burn the knotwork in?

 

[merrygold85]

Thanks for all the nice comments lads,

Hopefully next time the knotwork will be more uniform and tidy.

what we got in mind for next time dude????,....

Yeah I look forward to it. I would like to learn how to set up a hammock properly. But first first I need to get one. I would also like to see what we can find to eat from the woods itself cause there should be some growth by then shouldn't there.? I reckon I'll leave the exciting stuff to you guys and your experience/knowledge . Oh, finishing that knife would be great.

Liking that spot on...did you burn the knotwork in?

I did not burn it, I just used my Mora 911 which left it looking a bit rough and too small for sanding. So I used some coffee to darken it. Thing is the gaps are a bit big for that so I think half the coffee will fall out at some stage.

So burning sounds like a good idea. How do you reckon I'd go about that?
