Traditional Kayak Spoon (pocket spoon)

[nemo]

First successful spoon in a while. Traditional camp pocket spoon in cherry with tool finish. That’s no saws or sanding, just the finish left by a SHARP knife treated with BLO/wax mixture.

That's pretty awesome!! You should make me an offer on my Whittlin Jack and Flexcut palm knives!

Nice! I am going to try to do one. Green wood or dried?

Very cool. I have some well aged Walnut and also some unknown wood that i actually pulled out of my creek that has cured in the water for god knows how long. Ill see what else i can find to dive into this.

Oak is a ring porous wood, large open grain and NOT good for spoons. But I can do this with barrel heads……

I have smaller scraps. My Barrel heads are all not good enough for reuse thus why I got them as smoking wood.

Also if they were good, I would engrave them myself with my Neje.

I still have plenty of green ash.
