I thought i might show one of my creative outbursts, inspired by a link i found on this forum. So here it is:
And after oiling with linseedoil (the raw stuff, don't worry)
I made a little spoon to go with it. Originally it was just a little project to find out how thin i could go. It resulted in a spoon with a bowl one could almost see through but sofar seems to be reasonably stable. It is super light, lighter then its plastic equivalent.
Both were made from a freshly cut birch tree that was felled in a thinning of a forrest, which i cut down myself. Lovelt to see wood take shape, from tree to cup. I think i might become addicted to this stuff.
