Spoon started off as a 6ft pine bedpost from b and q... 3 pound 50!

Not too bad for a first success...

How'd you get on with the Carvin' Jack? Since getting back to the countryside I've noticed lots of decent carving/whittling wood about & have been thinking of trying my hand - the idea of a pocket tool with the main blades I'd use appeals to me - but the >£100 price scares me a bit.....

I really like it.. sharp as anything.. glides through most woods... Admittedly the handle could get in the way when using the spoon blade but i get on okay the way i hold it.
The price tag was an issue but my 19th came at a convenient time .. have a look at the pocket jack, similiar but cheaper

Inspired by Chris Lubkemann's "Little book of whittling" I've had a go at the jumping fish on page 61. Finished it this morning. Can't decide whether to add a little bit of paint (nothing too bold - just some subtle watercolour type paint) or just varnish it.

Thats really nice - oil or varnish to show the wood IMO.
