nice bit of cherry tree and lots of time to break in your sak champ.

I had a request from a Chinese friend to make a spoon that wouldn't fall into the noodle bowl. Didn't quite work out right, it works okay as a spoon, but could do with being more stable and the hook needs to be further down. :roll:
Boxwood is hard work!!!
I have another box wood spoon along more traditional lines, just no picture.
Jason, that spoon at the bottom is great, what does the other side look like?

Speechless!!
Jason, those are seriously cool! Is that a blade you made youself? It looks Woodlore-ish, but more curvy. A word of warning, keep your location secret!!! You'll have people knocking on your door asking to be shown how you do work like that otherwise :-D
I think I am going to have to go looking for the yew I have buried in the garage!

The blade is my first successful forging from 1/2" silver steel rod, my 2 previous attempts cracked in a water quench, I learned my lesson and oil quenched this one, I based it on the woodlore but slightly reduced the size (assuming the pic in Ray Mears book is 1:1?). My grinding doesnt look too hot close up, certainly not up to your standards but its a start
A word of warning, I havent used Yew extensively but I believe it is quite liable to shrinking and cracking, maybe it could be stabilised, these are just oiled so time will tell how they stand up. It is a great characterful wood though, and its mystic history adds to the fascination for me!
Cheers :d

I really like the piece of yew you used for the butter paddle. It show's the characther of yew perfectly.
It's just so frustrating that it's poisonous! :-(
