This week i managed to obtain some Rowan ,its a good wood for carving being as it is quite soft,makes a change from the hazel i have been using,i think there will be a few given that i have 14 foot of 10 inch girth to use!

thanks for looking.

made a couple of spoons last night,and for the first time i turned a spoon on the lathe (the one on the left) basicly you just turn all the shape than cut a side away then carve the bowl as normal,i quite like this style but you cant lug a gurt lathe about in the woods can you?!

thanks for looking.

Heres a set of Salad servers that I just finished this weekend while away camping with the Girlfriend and little one, also a small tea spoon size one that I quickly did in about 3/4 hr as a demo to a group at the camp site...

The salad servers are from Cherry, dont know what the smaller one is, was from the log pile, its got a couple of wood worm holes in it as well - no grubs tho, just for interest..




Hope you like

Blimey, is their pot usually spelled 'canoe' ? :yikes:

 

[dancan]

They've used canoe paddles before but the glue falls apart , don't know if it's because of the heat or the food LOL

Here's some of mine.

Left to right, my second ever spoon (sold my first one), a big chunky effort in cherry, but I really like its shape. Then my main camping user spoon, in ivy, with centre grain. Shows radial cracks but is solid. Then a big fork (not sure of the wood), and finally my bone knifork, also a user.


A few spalted larch spoons


A big birch ladle that I made a few years ago.

I haven't made a spoon in ages. Must have another go.

 

[fishfish]
