Mora + Wood = Stocking Stuffers

[dogstar]

Swedish butter knives are a good beginner whittling project. I love them for buttering my raisin bread. Just thinking ahead to the holidays.

I personally love a gift that has been made by someone, the time and thought put into it etc...

Also how about a Mora spoon carving Knife for spoons, bowls and cups?

Something I'm going to purchase and practice carving.

Ugh…I don’t even want to think about the holiday season yet

Of course a simple project like this can be done with virtually any knife, but if you need an excuse to buy a Mora, go for it!

I also own a Mora spoon carving knife, which works. A lot of folks will reprofile them, or purchase nicer spoon knives. As a starting point, a Mora spoon knife will help you decide if it is worth investing in nicer gear. I've made a couple of spoons with mine.

Yes agreed I've had a little look and will try the Mora initially to practice with

Had a quick research it seems the best over here in the UK available are Ray Iles, Ben Orford and Hans Karlsson so for a little more I'll go with a couple of those.

I've promised the missus bowls and cups for our wild camping trips!

You need to show what you started out with though.

Do they only work on Swedish butter?



Excellent idea and gift.

Just a 1.5" x 3/16 piece of pine. It's closest to the final shape.
