Spoon making woes...

[KiljoyKutlery]

Lol.. I'm using a Northbay Forge bent knife. It doesn't get much sharper.
I've got the nifty kevlar gloves, but I don't completely trust them.

I think I'll pick up a hunk of pine or something and try again. I have no idea what wood I'm using but it has to be hickory or something. I'm telling you it's like concrete. I have the world's first tactical spoon going here. Bring on that Mors knife test where you see if it can support your weight. I guarantee this spoon can pass it

Sounds like you have some IPE, or Brazilian Ironwood..that stuff is hard as stone.
