Spoon Carving – Knife and carving skills
Relax in the park, learn to whittle your very own cooking spoon in green wood and go away with a functional item that you can use in your kitchen with two tools.
Greenwood is wood that still has moisture within it, making it easier to carve using hand tools.
On this workshop you will be provided with an axed out spoon blank from local Sheffield wood ready for you to carve.
We will learn at least 4 safe cuts with the straight knife, shaping the bowl and handle, then we will move onto the curved spoon knife to hollow the inside.
I will also give you information on how to finish your spoon once it is dry.
