For some time I’ve been thinking about doing some wood carving.  I’ve messed around with curved forms to some degree and the success of the Oar building project this Summer was encouraging, but neither of these would be what I’d classify as ‘carving’.

Fortunately, in between projects and home ‘moanership’ activities, I was able to try my hand at carving a salad spoon.  The wood is air dried Cherry from a stash of planks that I acquired from a local Woodmiser operator.

I’m pleased with the way this first attempt has turned out and one of these days, when I get a similar break, I’ll make the mate to this one…

Have a look…
