spoon process shots

[forginhill]

Here are a few shots showing the making of a spoon. The roughing out is all done with the adze.

First the bowl is set off from the handle.

Then the angle of the bowl is carved in.

The bowl section is thinned.

Outer profile of the bowl is formed.

Handle area is narrowed and thinned.

Here it is after some knife work.

That adze is sexy!

Thanks for posting those pictures! An adze is on my "must get" list, so one day I will try making a spoon your way.

Thanks, mates. Muddypaws, I think you'd be a convert if you got to try one...

Here is the spoon all finished....
