I won't show my tools as such things are frowned upon here but here's a couple of my carvings:

Thanks for the complement Trilob. Birch burl is great for kuksas, see your local tree surgeon. Also try to keep it wet whilst working on it, I keep mine in a plastic bag. If it dries too quickly it'll crack.Trilob wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 2:59 pmOh yeah, a kuksa is definitly on the to-try-list. just need to find a proper piece of suited wood for that some day.Scott wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 12:31 pm I like the spoon, good whittling sir. You must try a kuksa or even a pike lure. I'm fond of whittling too but it's been a while since I created anything. You can see some of my efforts here;

We shall see - but the notion that a novice can achieve eg your results I can only but give it a go.Trilob wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 2:06 pm Thank you all chaps!

Mark isn't keen on pictures of knives etc being uploaded, I consider them purely tools,the spoon shown in the last picture is Birch burr that I gathered my self ( Scott posted a link showing his work including the gathering of burrs)Trilob wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 2:06 pm Thank you all chaps!
