Monthly Build Along No. 3 Spoon Carving

[DaveBromley]

Hi all,

Figured out how to post pics
Here is on I started yesterday and finished about half an hour ago

was asked by a friend to make them a spoon, this is the result

A quick question, what would be the best wood for a spoon that is going to be used very regularly? a friend is going to catering college and wants a spoon making for use on the course.

Cheers

Will

VERY PRETTY

and only your third!! i'm impressed, need to get mine underway this weekend me thinks

ill see what wood i have knocking about lol.

As for your catering friend i would use sycamore, nice to look at decent strength and mildly antiseptic, in a food environment it can only help!

Thanks for the advice

I think I've got a piece of sycamore in the shed so I'll give that a try.

Thanks again

Will

Here's mine. It's carved from Sycamore that was a bit too dry for my liking. More pics and info on the blog: http://holtheathwoodentreen.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/long-hot-summer.html

I reuse it. And no, it doesn't end up in the cooking, though it has been close once or twice

Hi all, this is the second spoon I've ever made, took me a while to make, started on the evening of the 7th and just finished sanding today.

Interesting handle profile on that one Dean, the way you keep the bowl depth along the handle. Presumably it gives extra strength in a serving spoon.

all these spoons I have seen are great, a lot of talented members on this Forum think I might have a bash tomorrow keep up the good work folks

I would like to say I did it that way but the truth is I let the wood decide, no pencil touched this piece all done by hand and eye. I guess the spine on the handle would offer a huge amount of support, I was trying out some new carving techniques and this was the result.

I made this one last weekend, whilst assessing another Scout Leader for a Nights Away Permit.
