    I have lots of hobbies, but one of my favourites has to be carving a piece of scrap wood into something of beauty, here’s a love spoon I made for my daughter’s anniversary :)

        That's very skilful, carved from one solid piece of wood?

              Be interested to know what timber that is Lem, must be something close grained to be able to get all the short grain parts to hold together.

                    @pete the wood was a piece of cherry, it wasn’t kind to my gouges either, and to be honest there wasn’t much character to the wood, but it was free :blue thumb:
