My First carvings..

[sycamour]

Hi all,
I,m a relative newbie to the forum, but not to bushcraft, as I have been generally
"messing about in the woods" some 40 odd years!!
I have made many sticks and catapults, and as a kid the odd bow & arrow, but have
never tried my hand at wood carving. Anyway having seen other posts on the subject
these are my very first attempts.
The spoon / ladel... is from green birch and the Kuksa type cup is from a sweet
chestnut growth.


Ps, These were carved without the use of any spoon knives, just axe, knives and a small gouge chisel.

That's cool, good job on those, you've done well with the deep bowl considering the tools.

 

[CBJ]

Good job mate, those look great.

Well done indeed! Far from what I managed on my first attempts! and with the most basic tools!...

 

[Elen Sentier]

they're gorgeous! am just about to have my first go this w/end so not sure whether to be encouraged or if I should take up road-sweeping instead . Looking fwd to your next creations ...

[Perrari]

Very Very Nice ! Love them both.

Very tidy, well done indeed.

Lovely work.It does show what can be achieved with even the most basic kit.
Much better than my own first attempts with axe and pocketknife ; long since
consigned to the firewood bin and thus hidden forever!
Cheers , Simon
