new spoon

I liked the spoon and design looking forward to seeing the set. I have done quite a few but from design in books not my own. They are a lot of fun and my wife keeps them all.

Thank you very much! I am almost finished and illpost the whole set tomorrow! I can't wait to hear what you think of it when it is finished! I really should make myself one...I think I will, after my Grandma's, after my mom's, after, the fairs, and after the internet...then Keoma will get some!

This is not the rest of the set, but it is a new spoon

Instead of a new thread, I wanted to post it here. Now I am off to finish what I originally started out to finish!

Perfect timing...they need them by tomorrow! Nothing lights a fire under ya like pressure! Yay for pressure...I'd never get anything done!
Please, any opinions are welcome! Have A Beautiful Day!

OK! Pheeew! I have finished the spoons and all that is left to do now is the leaf to hang them...I can do that in the morning! I can't wait to hear what you think of them! Thanx again for all the wonderful bolstering!

Nice spoons. Suggestion.......... one the last spoon, and the first, you showed an Oak leaf on the back of the spoon bowl, perhaps make the bowl into a full leaf? Front and back, cupped like a drying leaf? Just an idea.

Nice carving.

Keoma, great designs! I have seen some spoons with the back of handle carved, but not the back of the bowl; good idea. There are some other variations you can use to add interest. Try curving the handle (front-to-back). This opens up the pattern a little and makes it easier to highlight details with shadows. The Norwegians used a lot of curved handles and they added a hook-shaped bump on the back of the handle that allowed the spoon to hang on the side of the cook pot. I just browsed my photos and found I didn't take pictures of some of these details, but I'll do that and post some examples. Keep up the good work. Mike
