So, in an effort to try new things and learn about different aspects of wood working I tried my hand at carving. We've had a Love Spoon hanging on our wall since getting married and I figured I could make one easy enough. I couldn't have been more wrong since I don't own a Scroll Saw. I sketched the design on some paper and glued it to a slab of Ambrosia Maple picked up from my local Woodcraft. I cut the rough shape on my bandsaw and got to work with some chisels I had in the shop. I finished the spoon with some Tung Oil Finish, not the pure stuff then hit it with steel wool and put two more coats on and buffed with a clean rag.
Time to buy the right tools so I can make more...Oh yeah, and I've gotta make something on that metal lathe sitting on my bench. :biggrin:
