Thank you but It's only amazing because it's so easy.

If you look carefully, particularly on the spoon, you see it's a very simple repeating pattern.

It's based on a Saami design and it was all done free hand.

Yes, it is a very addictive new pastime, wife is happy as it is less messy than carving spoons in front of the telly...

Thanks to Wayland for teaching this, it is as easy as described, hoping to try different patterns...

I'm a wood carver.
Came to BCUK to see what sorts of carvings you all like to do.
Absolutle no shortage of talent and inspiration.
As much as I admire any and all efforts at kolrosing, no ambition at all to try it.
But, show me more!

It seems such a simple way of adding detail that I would have thought it would be a natural thing to add to your skill base.

The guy that taught me is the guy that carved all the pillars in this hall.

He used it a lot to add detail to his work.

Where on earth is that Hall? I don't recognize the carving style (a bit Haida, maybe.) Nordic?
There's some extraordinary artwork on the near table.

Kolrosing in the Carving Challenge? Bring it on! I'll make some popcorn, find a beer and watch with great interest.
My challenge (up in Firecraft) is to get a bowdrill fire kit to produce more than just smoke.

For many years, I have been carving western red cedar, considered by some to be a personality flaw.
It's very soft and splits readily so the major design decision is what to carve and what to paint.
