First Efforts

I got interested in spoon carving last year and finally picked up a couple of the correct tools. My first two efforts are shown below (crappy phone photo). The larger of the two is from a slab of Mulberry I've had around for years. It was hard as stone. The smaller scoop is from a maple branch tripped from a tree in my yard. Green wood sure is easier to carve. Both are clearly amateur grade, but I enjoyed learning about how the carving process works. I need to find some good clear wood to work with. Luckily I have a maple tree slated for removal this year.

Looks good! Look forward to seeing more, soon!

I'd call them practical user grade, and they are deep enough to move some 'gredients without spilling, "Keep a goin' ".
