Newbie thought I'd show off my spoons

[Tom.heath]

Hi all I've been lurking for a while now, and I have to say this is a very friendly forum and I can't wait to get stuck in properly. I live in Surrey and I'm a hanger( love my hammock) I tend to get out once a month work depending.
these are a few spoons I have made over the last 2 weeks all I have used to make them is my knife and a bit of sandpaper, I have varnished them in olive oil, don't know how good that will be but it looks to be working.
let me know what u think

Hello and welcome - I do especially like the spoon on the left

 

[Bushcraftsman]

Not bad for a first attempt at all! Welcome that the forum...what is the wood for the middle one?

 

[udamiano]

Very good, thanks for sharing them with us. definitely keep it up

Nice work. Try to avoid Olive oil, it can turn rancid. Walnut or Tung oil are your best bet.

Nice work Are you just using a straight blade ? if so that is pretty good going
Not long till you get a spoon knife I bet
I second the Walnut or Tung oil
Ikea sell a clear oil very cheap which is good stuff

Nice work. The middle one reminds me of one of my first attempts. Keep up the good work.
