My first attempts

[PhilParry]

A piccy of my first spoon......what a learning curve!

 

[PhilParry]

Not a very good piccy, but I think a better spoon!!! There's nothing quite like the quiet satisfaction from crafting something like this.

The smell of birch wood is also GREAT!

The smell of birch wood is also GREAT!

That it is!!

I really like your spoons. The first one's my favourite I think.
Have you oiled them yet?

That reminds me, I'd better get on and make my second one!

[PhilParry]

Yep,

Although I used some cold pressed Linseed oil.

I must get around to getting some Tung oil from Axminster!

Got a root bowl to carve out next...thinking of making a cup of some description.

I'm amazed at how much you learn from each one. The trick is remembering!

Nice spoons

Very nice work, Phil.
You're right about the satisfaction - very hard to explain to someone else.

Good luck with the next one.
