You can get a decent spoon carving hook from Attleburgh Accessories (they have a web site). Get a small one - approximately 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter (across the curve), cleave a bit of cherry (about 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter with an axe, billhook or fro draw in a the profile of the spoon you want to carve and just fart about. If youy are right handed you might want to wear an old leather work glove on your left hand to save carving a lump out of it.... Attleburgh also do some books, but I taught myself in an afternoon. A few other tools like a woodworking bench/vice or shave horse and draw knife, rasp, sand paper etc will help - take small shavings repetedly to get the best bowl shape. Making daft things out of twigs is also fun.....

Let us know how you get on with your carvings Jen, tbh you cant really go wrong with the frosts and for the money you wont find anything as cheap, and post some pics of your work.

 

All the best.
