I have tried several my self, I can get a real nice finish to the handle but whats the trick with carving the "scoop" area of the spoon?

Laurence Dell said:Have you not seen the spoon carving/crook knives available from all good bushcraft stores.
The curved shape of the blade allows you to scoop out the bowl of the spoon.
Here is a link to help you find one

Big John said:Hi guys,
For a better supply of spoon knives go to Axminster powertools, they're about 1/4 the price of Mr Mears!
Go to www.axminster.co.uk then wood carving on the left menu, then carving knives sub-category from the list under the pics in the middle.
They are about £10 - a bargain!
