Anyone ever flown internationally with carving stuff? Flying to Costa Rica and checking a bag, would like to throw in a small spoon blank, my hook, and my sloyd for some vacation carving. Thoughts?? Worst fear I have is my bag getting checked somehow and them taking my knives. submitted by /u/Ok_Marzipan_4766 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Apologies is this proves I'm the spooncarving pretender who doesn't just use one knife, one hook knife, and a stump. I can't imagine not using my vice, but I think I'm outgrowing my set up and wondering if something like a patternmakers vice is a common choice for spoon carvers? submitted by /u/NextIndependence8173 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Anyone ever carved a spoon out of Saskatoon? I just got a couple pieces, and as a beginner I’m wondering if it is any good to work with? Thanks! submitted by /u/dogpaddleride [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I haven't carved in a few months....maple sugaring season took presidence for a while, but thats over and now time to get back to it. so I grabbed a Birch log, split it, and did a quick hand drawn layout and went to work. man I can't say enough about this Twca-Cam I got from Deepwoods Ventures. it plowed right through the birch. this is just a rough out, still lots of thinning and smoothing to do. but it was fun slinging steel and making shavings. ​ https://preview.redd.it/mtjkpbjbbwuc1.jpg?width=1215&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96df450d0321ee4fc68a4f85866d7d1172bf1e0c https://pre ..read more

I’m making some little coffee scoops and other spoons out of cherry and when I first carve it the sapwood is a beautiful creamy white, but overnight it tends to bruise a bit like an apple. The relevant sections here are the central strip on the scoop and approx 9 o’clock to midnight on the bowl of the ice cream spoon. It still looks quite nice but I’m wondering if there is anything I can do to prevent it and preserve the whiteness. Do I just need sharper knives? submitted by /u/Any_Contribution3677 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
