Enjoying these chunky handles, they have their own complications, keeping the weight balanced, as it still needs a little forward balancing, it's different for each type of spoon.

Chips from all aspects of carving a spoon.
Axing chunks, big chips from initial clean up, scoop chips from bowl carving, medium and fine chips from refining spoons, long curly spirals and paper thins from finishing cuts.

A tiny scorp for tiny spoons. I want to make a bunch of pinch spoons for salt pigs but my regular hook knife is way too big. So I took some time today to make a scorp that actually fits into the bowls of these little spoons.

Got through the rough carving of four spoons and spatulas. On a scale of horrid to fabulous I give this alder a sold "meh" for carvability. It splits so easily that it's nearly impossible to get a clean surface, I'll have to sand the final shape in to these once they're dryer.

Spoon day! My stock is running low which means that I get to whittle forever to catch up.

Managed to do the rough carving on a couple of rhododendron spoons while I tended the market stall today. A really beautiful day, maybe as slightly silly spoon.

An epic evening of carving last night, some started from scratch, others just a bit of finishing, with spoon, scoops, chess pieces and a micro chopping block.

Made these two spoonhorns from Hazel (Corylus avellana) the other evening, one left and one right handed.
Gonna decorate them next.
