Walnut and Ash Spoon Knife

[Rockmonkey]

Thought i would share this with you guys!
I re-shaped the blade on my Mora double sided into a left handed, and moved the cutting edge closer to the handle, which I also re-shaped!

Once I was happy with the feel and cut of it, i decided to re-handle.
4th picture show my little whittler I made from a Mora 106, and it is my Fave for small work!

A beautiful piece of Walnut supplied by my good frien Hugo, and a piece of ash from my stock!
Many thanks for looking

Nicely done!!! I like the box sheath you've made. I've got a leather wrap on my Ben orford crook, and although I like the simplicity, It can be abit fiddly! I think I now have my solution!!!

Looks good mate bet your well pleased with it.
Now that walnut is something else, I must have given you the wrong piece.

Now that is lovely work have been toying to do a custom handle on my 164 crook you may have just pushed me to start working on it lol

 

[Rockmonkey]

Agree on the wrap idea, bit fiddly!
I just made a leather stitched tube sock kind of thing which works quite well.
Maybe another solution!

Thanx for sharing! I'm yet to play with leather... But you gotta start somewhere I suppose? Another project to add to the ever increasing list!!!

 

[Rockmonkey]

That was my first bit of leather work last week , other than a pouch I made last month!
Like you say, Gotta start somewhere!!!
Give it a go, and good luck!

[Rockmonkey]

It's a Dorset Woodlands Mocotaugan blade with a hand made left handed Yew wood handle, and it cut's beautifully! well worth the money!
