First attempt at spoon making


Well after bad weather all weekend i had a go at making my first spoon, it looks more like a weapon than a spoon hahahahah. I coppiced a piece of sycamore and split it down the middle and went to work with the hand axe to get the shape that i was after. Then to work with the knife i started to carve out the shape and whittle down the handle. Its a chunky spoon to say the least.
Well there more practice needed before they become an item that people want to buy hhahaha.

Imgage above is from a survival challenge that we worked earlier this year at Cpastone Country Park
