Net Needle attempt

[Bishop]

Fed up making spoons for the moment so instead attempted to do a Net Needle. I know it's a bit short after all it was my last bit of branch and supposed to be a spoon. On the plus side it hasn't split in half on me like the other first two attempts this morning. Small yet usable I'm encouraged and know my next attempt will be better.

Colour difference is due to different cameras being used. Left is Nikon/macro/noflash - Right HTC cellphone + flash

You guys are being to kind. I watch the videos of old hands like Ray and Mors whittling these and it's like done in ten minutes, flawless smooth finish using just a knife. Me it takes closer to an hour on average and I'm scratching around for the roughest sandpaper in the shed to get anywhere close.
