First Spoon Knife

Re: My first carving

I've only been carving a year or so, but I usually find that the "mistakes" turn out to be some of my favorite features of a carving. They rarely ruin the effect, and they end up being the distinguishing force that make the carvings my own.

I'm looking to buy a hook knife for making spoons and small bowls/Kuksa, I'm leaning toward Morakniv, but I'm at a loss when it comes to their sizing/numbering system. Any recommendations?

Re: Do YOU remember?!

These are similar... Is that a little lathe!?... Mine didn't have that
These all seem to be collector priced! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled now that I know where to look. Looking at all these, I can't help but think kids are losing out on something with...

I am killing myself today looking for a "toy" on the Internet. When I was around 5 my grandfather brought me home this great little woodworking toy, it had a tiny bandsaw, a belt sander, disc sander (all part of one assembly) and I think it came with the wood burner too (but he may have gave...

Re: Missing Something…




You know, it was intended to be a dress, so I figured she'd didn't need feet, but now that you say it, some feet and a little ankle showing might do the trick. Maybe even just some shoes poking out and of her dress bunched up over them would...

I decided to make my previous little guy a significant other, but she is missing something. I feel like the waist is blank, should I carve something else (what?), or just paint a pattern to the dress maybe? Also her mouth looks funny to me. I'm open to suggestions.

Re: Santa/Gnome Carving



Gee, thanks! I like the ball on the hat, that was my intentions at first (more of a Santa look), but I shaved it down too thin, so I went with the wizard hat instead. I've also added some hair texture to his beard…have a look.

Re: Proud of My Third Effort

Just thought I would/should update this post: I was making a rough guess at this guys dimensions previously (wasn't sitting right in front of me, and I never really measured the piece when I started). He is actually a full 2" tall. That is all. 😄...

Re: Forum Subcategory Suggestion

That's why I'm not sure folk art would be the proper title…I'm referring to things that typically don't involve a living creature (human or otherwise), nor structures (cottonwood bark houses)…those all have a proper place on the forum. I'm talking...
