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!

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!

Nice spoons :)
Very nice work, Phil.
You're right about the satisfaction - very hard to explain to someone else.
Good luck with the next one.
