Carvings

What type of wood is that exquisite coffee cup? Excellent work!

It was just afirst attempt for a kuksa. But thanks for the nice words. I dug the piece of wood from out of a firewood pile up on Lake Michigan years ago so I'm not positive but fairly sure it was beech.

The Mrs had her final surgery recently (WooHoo!! ) and I have been taking time off to care for her. I've had some extra time to good around with some whittling. I've found that after I removed the shoulder on the edge of my ED Karda, it makes a FANTASTIC carving knife. I have really been enjoying this little guy.

Carving these little guys has proved to be quite relaxing.

Final surgery - that's great news. EDK is an awesome design. Lovely bears you made. I agree 100% about the relaxing part. The pup looks quite pleased with your work. Thanks for posting these up.

Spoons are not too difficult. Just start with a nice piece of wood and remove everything that doesn't look like a spoon [emoji6].

Schmittie... I saw the picture you posted in the User's Pic and it looked like a fun project. I started last night while watching TV and this little guy still needs a little more work. My first carving... Thanks for the video.
