My First Spoon

[Pict]

I'll admit that for the longest time I didn't get the fascination with wooden spoons. It seemed like every time anyone got out to the bush that they felt compelled to resolve the nagging lack of cutlery as if their life depended on it.

I think I get it now. It isn't about the spoon, it's about the knife and the hand and the brain and the wood. So here it is, my very first spoon.

I don't own any hook knives so I did this one with my re-handled Mora #1 and some sandpaper. Poplar finished with Grapeseed oil.

Looks real nice Pict. I too was thinking, what is all this spoon nonsense? Tried it for myself, changed my view entirely .

It is addictive!

Well done!

It has somewhat of an art deco design. Very appealing.

That's a quality first attempt! It's good to see something different in shape, and considering you didn't use a crook knife you did a great job! I too couldn't see what the fuss was until I had a go myself and as you say it's not about the spoon but what you learn from doing it...well done fella!
