my first spoon.

[all hood allen]

I made my first spoon yesterday. im really happy with it being my first try.
its made of southern pipe.

i carved the entire spoon with only my Becker Bk11 necker. no curved blade, so the bowl is shallow. <a little over a 1/4th inch>

sorry about the image quality, i took them with my phone.

What? Are you going to do another one?

That looks way better than my first attempt :thumbup:

thanks. i really gave it my best.

What? Are you going to do another one?

i hope to. i want to try a couple different styles. i might have to break down and buy the curved blade.

i think the next spoon i try is going to be huge. like a foot and a half or two feet...

Very cool - I like that you stuck with just the one knife for the whole project. I did my first with a BK-2 - my bowl is pretty shallow too. :-D

Good job, I know I couldn't do that any time soon.

Nice work! Looks very well done:thumbup:

I'm accused of being a woodworker.
It looks like you're the real deal.
Good work.
:thumbup:

thanks to everyone for the feed back. i feel really good for it being my first.more coming in the next few weeks.

anyone have any other EASY wood carving project?

 

[termiteslayer]

Just how easy was that?
Making an oar isn't the simplest thing in the world to do, this reminded me of that.
Seriously, I'm a bit envious of your skills with a knife - I got dues to pay.
I bet you could whip out a pretty nice chess set.

What about a 3 prong fork, same size as the spoon. Would be perfect for salad serving
You just need to fire harden that baby and it will be ready to use.

it was really easy. this was my escape between all my school work.
i had to scar the wood and dig it down for the bowl. i think it would have been even easier with the right tools <it always is..>. BK11 is no carving knife, but it holds a place in my pack. its my favorite:thumbup:

bro i was thinking of my next spoon being about 2 feet long. i think it would be too cool. ill have to try a chess set in a month or two.

that is going to be a weekend project, make a whole dinner set. i'll steal my ladyfriend's camera and post some pics.

If you get around to it, post a couple pics of the way you cut between each of the prongs. I'd be interested in seeing how it comes out.

i might have to cheat and use a wood chisel. i'll see what happens.

How's it eat?

Makes it more fun! That blade was better for the detail stuff than I was expecting too.
