spoon from some real nice elm wood

<< < (3/7) > >>

GlisGlis:
very very nice  :OK

Jodocus:
neuse: of course it was hand carved! To be exact, though, I also used a knife, a gouge and sanding paper, my hands are getting a bit soft these days :D

Hawkdancer:
Real nice!  There is a whole article on spoons in one of the wood working mags, that one is good.  What finish did you use?

Jodocus:
I carved it from fresh, green spring cut wood, that was almost dripping from the blade's pressure.
Some wood do carve like carrot when spring cut, but elm is still quite firm. I then gave it several good soaks in sunflower oil while it dried.
Sunflower oil will dry like linseed ( but much slower), and it does not get as yellow with time, and smells way better.

Great piece of  graceful work, as usual.
