While at the bushmoot, i had my first attempt at carving a spoon.
After many hours whitling away i ended up with something that roughly resembled a spoon and i enjoyed the experience. In a box in the reception you were selling some Mora crook knives so i thought it would be rude not to pass up the chance to continue my education.
So back home now and on inspection the knife seems to have a very "gentle" curve to it.
It looks as though it will be difficult to carve the bowl of the spoon. Its just a thought, but would it be possible to bend the end of the blade into a slightly tighter curve to enable the carving of a deeper/ more acute spoon if that makes any sence. Would heat plus a vice/pair of pliers make this possible, or would i just distort or snap the mora?
Anyway, thanks for a great bushmoot. It was our first, but certainly wont be our last.
