Hi Rob Thanks for the welcome, I tend to look for branches and crooks for spoons and small kuksas, logs for bowls and large kuksas..... and the holy grail burrs I am still experimenting with wood types mainly having used birch which is nice but plain, I love cherry for carving and people keep telling me that I "must" try sycamore. ANy suggestions for good wood to carve will be gratefully received. I am also on the lookout for for a log for a chopping block 30" by 18". ATB Mark

Hiya Great to bump into you here I have laboured long and hard to make a ladle which was promptly nicked by a visiting relative, I have made some wedges, bearing in mind how tough it is I will try some butter spreaders :-) I can see why people prefer sycamore and cherry for hand carving now. Although I had some hornbeam which was a delight to carve and that can be tough! If ever I get some spare time I will have a chat about deer :-) Best wishes Mark

Hiya Maybe we will bump in to each other, I will have a copy of the Times under my right are. Passphrase will be "the hawks fly at midnight" you reply "idiot!" If you work locally I am guessing Danbury common and Backwarden where a ton of work seems to be going on as part of the heathland restoration. The work needs improving but I am getting there :-) I will have a chat with you about green wood for spoons and bowls one day if you do not mind? Bast wishes Mark
