My first Spoon!

[Cordhound]

After enjoying a very informative Family Bushcraft weekend and learning lots of essential skills with WILDWAY BUSHCRAFT, I was absorbed into whittling a spoon,
I thought I would share it with you, as although a relatively simple task, I'm proud of how it turned out. Thanks for the lessons John!

Thanks Guys, my second attempt ended up as toothpicks!
However have tried my hand at leather work and a Kuksa.

Nice work. My next project will be a Kuksa, I'll be happy if it turns out like yours.

Smart work, loving the kuksa

Great work! You've done a lovely job on all of it .

Thanks folks, I have to admit, that the kuksa was made using a drill bit to make the cavity and finger hole, as I have still to purchase my own crook knife. Which will be my next purchase.
The leather is from an old stripped sofa, which has been sat in my garage for the last 8 years, so following inspiration from BCUK members, I decided to give it a go! If I can pull my finger out, I may make a few to bring to the Moot to sell or swap, I'm not sure if this is permitted though as if I can get there it will be my first time attending?

John, you taught me loads, for which I am in your debt. Have you started your bows? I am yet to start.
I look forward to catching up soon, are you going to the Moot?
All the best, Nick

Lovely work on that oak for the kuksa. You got as fine finish on it. I like it a lot.

Thank you Harvestman, the only problem with it is I got a little thin in a couple of places, so when I filled it with water, after a couple of Minutes I noticed three droplets forming on the outside😬 probably due to the porous grain?
Do you know how I can make it watertight?
