Oak Spoons

[Kepis]

Made a couple of tea spoons from some seasoned Oak this morning, I've had the Oak hanging around for a while in the form of a few boards that we were going to put some water colour paintings on, so i thought i would grab a couple of the boards and create a spoon from each instead, well i couldn't let that amazing grain pattern go to waste now could i?.

Looking at the photo's i took of these two spoons, there is a bit of an optical illusion going on, as in the photo's they look dead flat, but in reality, both of them have a bowl carved in, still, i suppose this adds to the overall effect.

Stunning work again bud.

whats the chance of you showing us (as a few no doubt would love to see) a series of photo's from start to finish...

It might give us chop-stick workers something to progress from

Regards, al.

Hiya

Nice work, tough stuff oak

The optical illusion is probably because the whole sky was white acting like a giant softbox, holding something dark on one side of the subject may help as it takes away light from one side.

I might just be able to get something sorted out for you along those lines.
