Default <Mtn Bear Spoon>
I had this tree branch of Sycamore left from a walking cane Id carved earlier.
Course it had bark still on it and it was really dry from being in my wood shed for over a year.

I wanted to see if I could carve a spoon from it. The bowl was carved in a lumpy type of knot in the branch,the biggest part. The bowl is 2 1/4 inches wide and long at 4 1/12 inches.

Theres a father bear at the bowl and a mother bear over his shoulder and course a little boo bear that had climb the tree above his parents.

The bears are 2 1/2 across and the total spoon is 13 inches. its finished with just some BLO,we wont use it,well Im thinking I might seeing it would be great to catch and eat little green peas out of ---LOL


Your thoughts or comments are more than welcome. Thks'Forrest
