Spoons

[ESpy]

Hmm. These crook knives - thin steel? Like about 1/16"?
Not exactly a tricky grind, and people could fit their own handles? And overall finish could be pretty much straight out of the forge?

Hmm.... (Wanders off muttering)

Yep - seriously impressed with the ladle Hoodoo - it's the design as well as the workmanship.

Has me waiting eagerly for my first hook knife from Pinewood Forge (www.pinewoodforge.com) - their blades look very nicely made and Del happily offered to make one up specially when I commented on a particularly nice piece of wood in one of his website photos.

Cheers,

Do you need one??

At some stage I will post my first spoon, but having never put pictures on here I am not sure how to do it.

No, but they do look good. Both a left and right hook knife in one. Unfortunately I couldn't see any prices on the site.

...Don't they use rhododendron wood for spoons in scandinavia ....

Never seen that. The majority of carved spoons that I have seen in Norway and Sweden, or those made by myself have been in juniper (Juniperus communis). Easy carving and got a very nice natural smell too.
Carved spoons or spreaders in curly grained birch are nice too !
