Some of the the First Spoons I Carved

I unloaded three months of pictures from my camera and iPhone this morning.  I realized I had a lot of pictures of the first spoons I tried making.  Thought I would share.

A three foot long beer mash paddle carved from maple with a draw knife.  Holes made with a Forstner bit.

This spoon was a gift for my good friends Mario and Chris.  I stole a piece of firewood from their pile and it turned out to be a gorgeous piece of Cherry.

This was the first spoon I made where I really felt like I was getting the hang of things.  The wood is Sycamore and it is steam bent.
