My 2nd Love Spoon

[wiset1]

So after the first love spoon I figured I would buy a scroll saw and some carving tools before working out a design for the second one. After having this done I wish I would have tried an easier design, but coming up with my own and working through it really helped me learn some things. First, I need to understand how difficult it is to sand and cut sweeping designs when you're just starting out :biggrin:

Anyway, here it is. A Love Spoon carved out of Walnut, with 4 brass accents. The cuts are a little sloppy and rough, but overall I'm happy with it for what it is...my second one.

After doing this I have a true appreciation for the fine detailed work you do with the coins! Think I'll heep learning the scroll saw on wood for now :biggrin:

I think it looks great, but where's the spoon?

I'm very impressed.

The bowl at the bottom. It's not a traditional design, but it was a test to see how much I could learn. :biggrin:

Sorry Tim, that was poor attempt at humor. I had to go Google Love Spoon to even figure out what it was. I have never heard of them before.

Holey cramoley, that is amazing. Especially considering it is only your second one!
Beautiful!

Fantastic design and execution!

Stunningly beautiful

Thanks everyone. I think with time I'll come up with better designs with more fluid cuts. Also, the scroll saw and carving tools take a little time to learn, but at the end of the day...it was fun. Working on another one for my sister in-laws wedding, but that will be more traditional and a bit easier.

Tim,
That is absolutely AWESOME.
Thank you for sharing with us.
I would be very proud if that was my piece.

Bob.

Always nice to see something really different, particularly when it came out so nice. Looking forward to some more.

Thanks again guys! Just another way to pass the time before I have to start traveling again for work.

I love the design concept! With your creativity the carving will come easy for you. Beautiful work Tim!

That is amazing work. I am impressed by your work, especially because it is only your second spoon.

Thanks again for the feedback and support everyone. I figure as I keep making these spoons and working new designs I'll get better as a carver and be able to work in finer detail and thinner designs. For my second spoon I'm happy, but like my pens I know I can do better and I'll continue to push myself to try new things with different combinations in order to understand grain and cut patterns.

Again, thank you.
