My second spoon

[Flaco1]

I saw this spoon on the web, Welsh love spoons by Adam King. My version is a little different but the concept is the same.

Re: My second spoon

It is poplar, and have yet to put any thing on it. I sanded it with 150 grit paper then I used a green scrub pad. It has a fine abrasive and makes the wood look polished. Planning on putting several coats of clear poly on it.

Re: My second spoon

Thank you all for the kind words. I've only just begun doing spoons and I really enjoy them. I'm looking to order some Basswood and try my hand at Caricatures. I recently ordered some books on the topic and I'm itching to get started.

Re: My second spoon

I am amazed at the small parts, like the birds leg. One slip and it wouldn't have made it.

Something to aspire to.

Re: My second spoon

Beautiful.

A spoon is on my bucket list. However, I am fairly new to carving and besides chip carving I have only done a few snowman for regular carving so thinking a spoon might not be a beginner project but it is only wood so may try. They asked for ideas for classes for our monthly meetings for next year and I said spoons and it was received well so that is promising.

Thanks for the inspiration.

As the title says, this really is my second spoon I ever made. I have carved only in the round so chip carving seems difficult to me. If you can carve snow men then you can read the wood grain. Google love spoons pick a simple pattern and have at it. You can do it.
