It's a spoon

[Bumbler]

Have not made one of these for a while, so decided to mess up the shed and make one...

The wood is juniper. And the tools used:

Mora 120 whitling knife
Mora 164 spoon knife
Mora 711 whitling knife
Hultafors Felling axe

My current bushcraft spoon was the first one I made. It has a round handle and is terrible to hold. And no angel between sppon and handle made it terrible to eat with

My next spoon was for the wife. Made an angle here, and a flatter handle. And I keep stealing it from her. So about time I made a new one for myself.
Also got a bigger cooking spoon. So with that, and this ine I think I have what I need when it comes to spoons.

Perhaps a kuksa next. What is holding me back is that they tend to be to small....

I did not time it, but around 1 hour I think.

To tell you the truth, for once I stopped before i got any fancy ideas...and I was getting tired in my hands. So thought....that's enough, I'll just sand it as it is....lol

Show off lol, fair play to you mate, excellent.

A real nice spoon, have a go at that Kuksa it's the carving that is fun and the item is just a by-product.

I don't like to make stuff I will not use. So need to make a large one to hold at least 2,5 -3 dl
Well, well, I have to find something to make it from So will keep my eyes out for a candidtae next time I'm out playing in the dirt

I like that shape. I think you stopped carving when you should have, like a good craftsman.
