A few pics of the course I ran the other weekend. I had a few cancelations because of the bad snow but for those that made it it was a good day carving. I am running another day course on the 20th April, if you are interested there is more info here Simon Hill Spoon Carving Courses: Spoon carving course April

Ash is fine for spoons, as long as you remove the pith once split it shouldn't crack or split, get some pics up when your done.

Seen this one before but loved watching it again, thanks for posting Pat, some great skill there and obviously he has produced so many over the years that its almost effortless.

Todays course went very well. Great students who considering they had never carved anything before produced some very good spoons. There is a bit of a write up and a few more pics here if your interested.

A photo of the hoodie in action felling trees on a very cold snowy day, hood on under the helmet was very warm and cosy.

Some great knives on here I have too many to show, from knives for wood carving to knives for bushcraft. This one is my favourite though Its a blade by Leif carlsson , I made the handle and sheath. Its made from buffalo horn brass spacer and curly birch handle and sheath. Dont get me started on axes lol

Green wood is the best to use, Hazel is very good wood for spoons, Lime,alder,Birch,sycamore are very good woods.Poplar for larger cooking spoons,Willow for larger cooking spoons. For smaller eating spoons fruit woods are great!. I would avoid woods like yew, Laburnum and pine. tbh you can really use any wood if its a poisonous wood I wouldn't eat with it but it shouldn't stop you giving it a try, I have made some great spoons from Laburnum. All woods carve differently and some can be a joy to carve (birch lime) others can be difficult or the fibers can tear out (lilac). Good luck with your carving and dont forget to put some pics up when your done.

Just a quick thanks Steve for the hoodie, very good quality and great colour, nice and fleecy inside too, I love it Love the logo on the tag nice touch . Get buying Arbtalkers, just what you need to keep you warm in this weather

Hi bobh, you might be better of trying to spend a bit more tbh, the mora 106 is a better carving knife, its slimer and slightly longer than the 120, as for spoon knives have a look on ben orford website his spoon knives are very good. the 163 is double sided so it is no good for when you want to push the knife with your fingers, your better with one sided spoon knives.

Great job with the sites, very easy to use and great pictures too.
