Seasoned plum spoon

[GGTBod]

i use a mora 120 which is a 6cm bladed knife and to carve out the bowl i use a number 5 sweep gouge which is a chisel with a curved cutting edge, many people prefer to use crook knives for this part of the job

First rate spoon, there! Beautiful piece of wood complemented by the smooth lines and nice finish! Nice!

These are the kinds of Pacific Northwest "crooked" knives that I have been using for less than 10 years.
You can fake this very easily with "worn out" knives from your local farrier. Revise the bevels to 12 degrees,
make them carving sharp and a $5 blade is a little less than a $50 new.
