Spectacular Dubz! You truly are an artist of the digital and analog. To me, carving seems so therapeutic. Sitting there using a tool to make another tool. Great stuff Dubz, love your threads..

That doesn't look like a second spoon to me. Very nicely done.👍

Very nice work mate and great pics, as my wife will tell you, I do love a good spoon. Seriously though it turned out beautifully. Colours in the timber are great, looks store brought.

My last attempt was a failure. Going to order that carving blade you have. You've inspired me to give it another shot. Also like how you used my favourite blades 14/24. Now how about a carved fork?

Hope my second spoon looks this good!

Thanks man. Get a hook knife, well worth it. Perhaps a fork, one of these days. Wife wants me to make her a long handles spoon next, for cooking in a pot over the fire.

Hope my second spoon looks this good!

Thanks man.

Looks good, Dubz!

Thanks man, appreciate it. I'm gonna get into wood carving. It's so relaxing. I'm going to start trying out some wood spirits as well. I have the carving knives, might as well use them.

Wood spirits?

And I agree, wood carving is fun. I've done a few projects, but they're pretty amateur hour. Makes for some fun office decorations/conversation pieces though .

I'm glad that you used lmgtfy, its always worth a laugh .

And those look way, way beyond my skill level at the moment. Its good to have something to aspire to .

 

[DavidCAndersen]

Better than my first attempt. Not done with a Becker, but still. I also used a Mora hook knife for the bowl. I believe it was a #164

Haha, it's fun using it on occasion. I did this one using the 13 from a tutorial. It's my first and only wood spirit: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/860709-First-Wood-Carving-Used-The-BK13-Remora

I refined it a bit more later, and took this photo of it for a contest:

Hell, that's excellent. A little sand paper, and she'd be a beaut. :thumbup:

Thanks T. Warrior! The bowl holds about a tablespoon. I use it to measure out coffee beans. At least I found a use for it! lol

Hell yes man. The wife expressed interest in making her some measuring spoons. A long handled spoon will be next though. Then, I'd like to do a ladle. Definitely gonna use the hatchets to make a bowl, etc.

I need to get me one of them Mora spoon carvers.

Great spoons!
