This is the start of the project. This is the actual log that I carved into the spoon. I used only 3 tools, an ax (in this case a tomahawk), a small knive and finally a spoon knife.
This is the spoon in the rough, before I had received Wille Sundqvist's "Swedish Carving Techniques" book. The handle quickly changed after this.
This is the start of the sanding process. I am using 220 grit Emery cloth and will go up to 1500 to give the spoon a polished look, before I finish with a food safe wood oil.
The handle came out much better than before the carving book. This is only the second spoon I have ever carved.
