    a couple out of apple

    had a bit of apple from a limbing job so out of my first piece i got a spoon,the other half was a bit thin so just about got a flipper out of it.
    i did a bit of kolrosing on the spoon,i havent done much before now so i'm just learning really but i really like doing it so i can see everything getting done lol.
    i need to make a tool for it rather than holding the knife blade,i have an antler tine so will find a tiny blade to set in it...thanks for looking..kev

    Great kolrosing - much more detailed than the stick figures and rune sigils I can etch .

    Cinnamon, or you could use ground inner birch bark - the key is to dab on a drop of oil so the powder can't be rubbed off.
