Got a spoon carving set for Christmas. Started carving wooden spoons.

Man this is addictive. Got so bad I ordered a new spokeshave from Lee Valley to make things easier. It's a beautiful tool, but man it was expensive. Wouldn't have considered it without the new interest.

Told the Pup the other day I either need to start giving them away, or buy a small wood stove.

Here is the crop from last week. It has grown since I took the picture a few days ago.
I bought some cherry lumber to make some to give to friends at work. It's pretty stuff, but it's tougher to work than the bradford pear branch I picked up in the side of the road a couple weeks ago. I love carving them from green wood. It works like butter. Hopefully some folks will be trimming their bradfod pear trees this spring.

Nice work!

Very nice. I haven't done any of that. I do love my spokeshave though. Now that you have one, you will find uses you never suspected.

Those are some nice spoons. Like them alot.

Great work clovishound. I have a shaving horse I need to get in place and maybe make some myself this spring.

For a NEW hobby, You're sure doing well. Those are really nice!
