Then and now

[crokseti]

I ran across a photo that we took a year and a half ago and noticed how basic and primitive our first attempts at spoon making looked compared to what we create now. I know we still have a lot to learn but seeing these tells me that we have come a long way. I know we use a lot less bandaids too.The first picture is before and the second is a set we just sold for 45 dollars.

Nice looking spoon set, Rocky! What type of wood is that second set?

They are off of a black cherry log that a friend of mine gave to me.

A very nice carved set, and they both look good to me. fred k

As primitive as you may believe them to be, I like the first set just as much. Lovely colouring in both. I guess the second set is more refined, but you know, I kind of like the less refined look. Sets it apart from the machine made ones. My 2 cents anyway.

Josef, Thats what my wife thinks also. The first photo is spalted poplar. I have one more log section of it that I am going to start working up.
