Hi everyone,
I am blessed that some nice folks gave me some cherry and apple wood recently so I could carve spoons. Here are some initial spoons that I carved, but I confess to be humbled that it will take a while to get the right look.
Eventually, I’ll take a class, but for now I welcome any comments. I think the book Swedish Carving Techniques is quite helpful, yet for me you can only glean so much from those resources. Nothing helps more than having an example right in front of me.

You ought not feel bad-my first spoons could barely be called that. PF’s video has been a revelation, and I see incremental improvements each time I make another. Yours are actually very nice.
Thanks Earl!
Did you go with the grain on the bent spoon?
Hi Guy,
Yes. I was given a branch with a crook in it and the bend follows the grain. I can see now though that in the future I’ll leave more thickness right in front of the bowl of the spoon. Thanks for your interest.
