    Excellent Christmas Present

    After making these couple of spoons



    with my Mora Clipper and a spoon knife I fancied a smaller carving knife to have a go at some more detailed work.

    And look what my wife got me for Christmas. Yay!

    Haven't done anything serious with them yet but from the bit of playing around that I've done I really like them. The handles could do with a bit of work. They fit in the had nicely but I think they could do with a bit of work with some sandpaper as the finish isn't the greatest.

    Thanks bikebum. The top one was my first attempt at a spoon, and was a present for my wife. My daughter was jealous so I made the other one for her. They're both just over 6 inches long.

    Watch out spoon carving becomes addictive
