Leather spoons and a bunch of other stuff

[Dreadhead]

Have been working away like mad on various projects at the moment not to mention all the pouches trying to use up the last of my leather. This week, to pass some time inbetween works thought i would try something different.

I see so many posts on here about folk carving spoons, and after carving my first wooden spoon at northwood the other week i thought i would try a material that agrees with me more so knocked up two wee leather ones. one is hot waxed, and the other just wet moulded and decorated. The bowl is sturdy but the neck is still a bit weak so they are just for show

Been an absolute scorcher of a week whilst working in a solid steel boat, tis like a greenhouse. Tis nice being able to roll up the bow and work half indoors/half outdoors, and now and again get a plesent visit from this wee family

few pictures of things i have made in the last month

cheers

Very nice. Love the decorated spoon. Needs some way of making it usable as its too good for just show.

I reckon either sew an extra piece of leather to the weak area, or simply fold and sew a small pleat/rib down the handle and neck area

nice idea btw

Love the spoons, what a neat idea. +1 to Daves idea for strengthening the neck. Nice priest too.

some nice ideas there thanks these were just to pass the time, but i may make more in the future and reckon the folded rib is a good way to go

Made my mate a magic plait wrist band from an off cut of the leather, but forgot to take a pic of it, he was well made up with it.

Hamish your stuff as ever is ace and inspiring! Like the space wolf icon pouch. Just bought loads of leather thong as totally want to try the lacing. Picked up some goat skin so think a laced wallet is on the cards

Now that's different Hamish, in a way I like them

Real nice Hamish, a great take on a classic, when do we get to see the wooden spoon you made at Northwood.

 

[Goatboy]

Really nice and unusual Hamish, we're going to miss your work while your away. You could use them for cold or dry stuff like salt or sugar couldn't you?

 

[Harvestman]

I reckon if the handle had a curve to it, as if the bowl ran up into the handle, then that should strengthen the neck sufficiently,

Which I think is what others may also have suggested.

Lovely work as always.

 

[Dreadhead]

thanks everyone the wooden spoon is not worth posting on here im sure these spoons will be fine with dry stuff, but i wouldn't rely on them as they were just a bit of fun

 

[Skaukraft]

Wood is just har, stiff leather Hamish
Superb stuff as allways.
