Carved in fresh birch, she was supposed to be a blank for a bowl. So there was a hole drilled for the chuck (spelling?), in what later became her cheek. I had to glue in a piece there to sort of hide it. ;)

Handcarved ladle or long spoon made of dry plum wood freshly treated with linseed oil resting on a knotty large larch board.
Roughly shaped with the Kalthoff Small Carver, finely carved with Morakniv knifes. (106, 120 and hook 162)

Handcarved scoop part of a ladle made from dry plum wood and treated with linseed oil resting on a knotty large larch board.
The woodpiece was naturally curved (a curved branch) that hinted at the shape of a ladle after splitting it apart.

My very first handcarved spoon from plum wood treated with linseed oil.
Took me quite a long time (fiddled around with it for quite a while) to arrive to this final result. Closed the knots with sandust (using a 80grid from the same wood) and glue (titebond III). After sanding down the spoon in many places, I carved the entire surface again, to give the whole spoon more individual handmade character.

My very first handcarved spoon from plum wood treated with linseed oil.
I found a piece of wood that I had set aside about four years ago and thought was too good to burn. It was already a bit dry and cracked, but managed to carved a spoon out of it freehand. It's simple and not perfectly symmetrical. I had to work around the natural features (branches, warping, wood grain)
Not sure it is more a small long ladle or a bigger long spoon.

Held a heddle carving workshop the other week and since it's a few years since last time I thought it best to make a bunch to see if I liked the same method.
I've mostly made larger ones before but these smaller are also super nice carving.
