Hi Folks,
Stumbled across this forum and thought I'd stop in. After registering and looking around, I discovered the work here is about 4 orders of magnitude beyond what I do. :blink: I'm just a hobbyist whittler and I carve for relaxation. Probably won't be posting much of my work but I look forward to seeing what others have done. Some really stunning work here.

Here is my last carving.

Welcome Terry! Spoons carved by hand are comforting, to hold, to look at... Thanks for posting the photo. I like your use of the darker wood for the rim of the spoon. I hope you find good information here.

Hi Terry,

Welcome! I like your spoon - my favorite ladles, spoons and spatulas are handcarved by local artists here in the Pacific Northwest - using them in my day to day life along with the handthrown bowls and such increases my joy - there is something one gets from the feel of a handmade item that is not there in a machine made item. Besides, your spoon handle suggests ideas for me to use in forging a new handle for one of our frying pans.
Keep posting - we'd love to see more.
Best regards,
Magnus

Thanks for the welcome folks! My carvings are not spectacular but a lot of fun. Again, I'm not an artist, just a hobbyist. Here are a couple more spoons.
