A piccy of my first spoon......what a learning curve!

Not a very good piccy, but I think a better spoon!!! There's nothing quite like the quiet satisfaction from crafting something like this.

The smell of birch wood is also GREAT!

That it is!! :rolleyes:

I really like your spoons. The first one's my favourite I think.
Have you oiled them yet?

That reminds me, I'd better get on and make my second one!

Dan :D

Yep,

Although I used some cold pressed Linseed oil.

I must get around to getting some Tung oil from Axminster!

Got a root bowl to carve out next...thinking of making a cup of some description.

I'm amazed at how much you learn from each one. The trick is remembering!

Very nice work, Phil.
You're right about the satisfaction - very hard to explain to someone else.

Good luck with the next one.
