For Munkiman23:
In answer to your question on how we got permission to run the classes in Chopwell Wood;
The permission was granted by the Forestry Commission.
The event was part of a series, of craft related events that, as a member of Friends of Chopwell Wood management committee; I organised including bark container workshops, bushcraft skills training events and other woodcraft skills.
This particular event was led by Robin Wood, while the other events were led by me or Eric Methven.

The best, quickest and easiest way to make the bowl of a spoon is the way the Apache would make it. Firstly shape your wood into a basic spoon shape, then taking a hot ember from the fire, blow gently on the wood. This will slowly burn the bowl shape into a perfectly smooth bowl. Once complete, finish the shaping of the spoon. You can make a nice one in 10 mins when you have practice. You can also make bowls like this

@iswy123 burning with an ember is one way to hollow a spoon or bowl but I would not say it is quickest or easiest compared to using a good quality crook or hook knife. Native American cultures amongst others all went over to hollowing with steel tools when they were easily available. NW coast woodworking particularly by Haida and Tlingit is some of the most accomplished carving in the world.

Thanks for all the nice comments, all our courses are booked up for this year but we will be doing more in the spring. It is great fun to do this stuff and fun to share with other folk who enjoy it too.
