David,

This is a beautiful job. I am sure your wife appreciated it.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Fantastic! I am envous of you living in England. My wife Winston and I lived there for a few years and visit every chance we get.

I like it a lot! Way to go! Did you use any scroll sawing or power carving tools or just the hand carving tools? Nice finished product.

I have really been wanting to do something like this, but I have no idea how to get started, I figured since my shop is still down I don’t need to many tool besides my carving tools, anyway my 25th is coming up this May and I would to make one of these for my wife so if you can help fellow out I sure love to pick you brain on the subject

Very cool looking spoon. Interesting.

Very nice for your “first” major carving project! I understand about overshooting your estimated completion date. I got everything together for a padauk box for my wife for Valentine’s day, but I got too busy preparing our garden so she will get it for her birthday.

Nice looking spoon!

Beautiful job David!

Was this your design? It’s very nice.

I’ve carved a few spoons also.

Thanks for the comments.
I used the scrollsaw to cut the outline and the internal spaces, then used a variety of carving gouges. I tried using a carving knife, but find the gouges much better for me.
The design is a freebie from Lora Irish.

What a lovely anniversary gift! This is beautifully done and precious to the heart. A wonderful heirloom for your wife to cherish.
