I heard he carved it from a bigger spoon...

[backcreekbushcraft]

Nice work, there's something primal about a wooden spoon yet nice to use and look at, I like your work!

Stay safe

yeah pine is a soft wood and easy to carve, but it cracks very easily.

[ThePhantomBlacksmith]

Okay, so there is no real easy way of hollowing out the dish. You've just gotta get in there and dig it out with grim determination and elbow grease....drat, I was afraid of that...lol

[craftsmank]

Pine is something that most dont consider, but it is easily available and usualy carves well - and a great way to learn

sorry to aske this but what wood is best to start this for begainers?

[craftsmank]

I have yet to find a wood that wont carve. Some carve well, others not so good, some like sumac or rhodenendron are poisonous (personal experience) but cherry should be fine, id love to see the finished items - if you can do a link so other visitors here can see -
