They look great, Scott.
Would you be willing to share pics of how you go about carving a spoon, showing the various stages of progression? Sort of a HOW-TO for us know-nots?
Take care and God bless,

Absolutely......I think I have a couple pics.
I only use a hatchet, knife, gouge/hook knife and sandpaper...

The wood is easy, getting unstrangled from the evils of this world, well, that's the hard part.

Scott, you can certainly turn out a fine piece, be it a spoon or a spatula. How long does it take you?

Sanding is what takes the longest.....couple 2, 3 hours. Maybe a little more.
