Rowan Spork

[Dean]

After damaging my shoulder and not being able to carve for a while I had a lady commission a spork for her husbands birthday (member of the forums), while the shoulder is still not 100% better I still managed to carve this little beauty.

Very nice work there Dean, very nice indeed

 

[Muddypaws]

That has to be the best spork ever!

 

[redandshane]

That is very nice I really like it I would say i will have ago but my rustic attempts would render it comical .Well done

Is that an eating utensil or a work of art?!!

I dislike the idea of a blade on the sporks...because you can cut your mouth. However, very nice piece of work.

Great piece of carving. John Fenna won't like it though

Lovely bit of wood too. I've used flaxseed oil a little. Does it seal the wood?

 

[Harvestman]

By the way, hope the shoulder improves soon. I want to see lots more of your work on here.

 

[Dean]

Thanks guys.

I reckon you should have a go. As for a eating spork or a work of art that's up to the new owner to decide I myself would use it.

I have used my own wooden spork for around five six years without cutting the side of my mouth but I realise that it could happen and most probably does happen.

Mike this Spork was made from the rowan I got from down Alun's, as for the oil I find it great on spoons takes a little longer to set and does'nt darken the wood as much as the walnut oil I used to use.

Now that is bloody brilliant! Great work!

that's a cracking bit of carving, lovely job.

Really lovely,

Impressive carving skills, the shape looks right, as do the dimensions.

I guess it will be a pleasure to use, well done.

Beautifully proportioned and superbly carved. The recipient of this is going to be very pleased!

I often wonder why we don't see more Rowan being used, it's a magic wood in more ways than one

Normally, I hate sporks and see them as a very poorly designed and made piece of kit that does nothing even passably well. But that one is a thing of beauty - a really lovely piece of carving in a beautiful wood. For that one - and that one only - I am persuaded that a spork is indeed a worthwhile implement. Lovely work!

That's no "lady", that's my wife

 

[crowded-solitude]

wow very nice work!

 

[humdrum_hostage]

Its when you see work like this you realise why you take advise from the "elders" on the forum.
I will be happy with my future carvings if they were even half as good as that!

 

[petrochemicals]

Very nice indeed

 

[DocG]

Very nice job.

 

[cranmere]
