Thanks for the words of encouragement monte but I just didn't enjoy making this so I think I'll just stick to doing the projects I like to do. Live and learn.
pratt. What do you prefer and what intrigues you about them. I like spoons some and got good at it in my process of learning. They are easy? Just curious.
Hey Phil, I guess they could be easy but I don't have any carving tools. I did the bowl on this spoon with a drill bit in my drill press and it was a lot of work. I enjoy doing cutting boards and have started other small projects.this is a new hobby for me.
Look up a guy named Robin Wood, spoon fest , and sloyd. Spoon making is fun with green wood and all you need is a axe and a knife that you can make. I even saw a man smoothing spoons with broken glass at a fair once. But with that said its not for everybody . I never liked any spoon made before , 6-7 years later after picking it up and trying here and there I can do ok .
spoon bowls are easy Pratt, with a drill press and a 1" kutzall ball. Just hold spoon blank against drill press mounted burr. When I discovered this material remover, I bought 2 burrs. A Fine and course 1" 1/4 shaft. Spoons got very easy. Any Shape of spoon was possible. Made it fun.
