A few weeks ago I carved a spoon. Now I can't stop. I'd reccommend it to anyone. It doesn't take much material and you can make them with a few basic tools and a few hours time. At the museum, I using a coping saw, a few spoon gouges, a knife, rasp and some sandpaper, and a little elbow grease. I found a recipe for a finish using 4 parts food safe mineral oil and 1 part beeswax. So far, I'm liking the results and I'm sure my skills will improve as I make more.
