Default My First Spoon
I am a deployed soldier in Afghanistan. My anniversery is in August and I thought it would be nice to do something for my wife. Due to the help from several people on this site, I was able to carve a welsh lovespoon. I am also going to send her a scarf made here in Afghanistan as well.
I am posting a picture of my spoon as well as several of my other attempts at carving.

Enjoy

John - Those are more than attempts. The effort is very good. I trust you haven't ran out of product yet. Let me know if you continue to have a problem sharpening.

Keep safe and wish your wife a Happy Anniversary from all of us. If there is anything more we can do, please let us know. Thanks for your service.
