I'm re-learning to whittle - first projects in 30 years or so.... two butter knives.  THe top one was my first try.  THe bottom one, I think is a vast improvement.

Come to think of it, a butter knife is likely the most practical knife that could be made from wood. Nice!

Thanks, I have to admit though, that the 2nd one looks a lot like my favorite Buck hunting knife... not very kitcheney!

I decided to practice with my spoon carving knives today, so I grabbed a dogwood branch figuring it would be a throw away. It ended up being too narrow for the scoop knife, so I used a gouge. An hour later, I have a nice little scoop for coffee and such - just needs sanding.

I am still practicing carving dogwood branches into spoons.  The top one is done from a straight limb.  It is fairly primitive, but it will make a good serving spoon for beans and such.  The bottom one would make a nice spoon if it had a straighter limb for a handle - as it is, it makes for a fine weapon... dogwood is hard and heavy!

That's really cool! It's not easy to whittle a knife shape, at least I didn't think so last time I tried lol

Here is this week's spoon.  I almost decided not to carve this one because of the odd bend in the limb.  But, it turned out well, as that bend allows it to balance on a pot. I may refine the handle a bit more, but it fits my hand well as is.

Either I am getting the hang of it, my hands are getting stronger, or my knives are getting sharper.  This spoon took 2-3 hours instead of a week!  From a split dogwood log.

That's a good idea. A spoon even made with a notch about halfway in the middle of the handle to allow it to balance or lock on the edge of a pot.

I bought a spoon carving set on ebay, but I can't seem to use the scoop knife on wood as hard as dogwood.  I found a nice little gouge in some tools my grandfather left me - sharpened that up and use it to hollow out the bowls of the spoons. https://www.ebay.com/itm/193570073480

I just began experimenting with carving/whittling holly.  It is a beautiful wood, very smooth, white and finely grained.  I would call it a medium/tough hardwood.

Thanks!  Yes, it is the 5 minute wizard.... but it took more like an hour.  Do you have a V tool?  THat makes it much easier.

Very nice sign!
I took my kid with me to the Harbor Freight today, and ended up buying him a set of wood carving tools and some needle files.
He know I have a hard time saying no to requests for tools!

After an obligitory safety review,  he asked for some wood.
I do have some branches I've kept for making staffs and walking sticks, but the only boards I have around are dimensional lumber.
He chose a bit of pallet board.
I'm looking forward to seeing what he does.

Very cool!  BTW, I notice something about eating bindweed on your profile.  That is something I have been wanting to try.  I only know it as a medicinal herb.  What part do you eat and how do you prepare it?

Hmm, my eating of bindweed is aspirational at best.
Some kind of bindweed is eaten in some places by some people.
The link in the signature explores that.
Most of what I share here on Permies  is unfinished and half formed, because that is most of what I have in my head!

Some kind of bindweed is eaten in some places by some people.
The link in the signature explores that.
Most of what I share here on Permies  is unfinished and half formed, because that is most of what I have in my head!



Gotcha - bindweed has great potential in reducing tumors, which is about all I know about it.

This spatula is far from perfect, but I learned more from this project than any before. It is from the last knotty, twisted, curvy piece of dogwood I had. It was dry and harder than previous pieces. I had not yet learned to axe out a blank, so this was mostly done with a knife and a bit with a gouge. It took a month due to being so hard - I had bad wrist and forearm inflammation.  But, I finally got something that will flip a burger, and I am happy with balance and feel!
