Very nice spoons. What tool(s) do you whittle something like a spoon with?
bandsaw to rough the outside shape.
a couple of gouges to rough the bowl
roughed the handle shape with a drawknife (but other tools work fine as well) and refined with a wide chisel. I've been using a 1" chisel as a carving tool a lot lately for some reason. I like that you can avoid the corners easily with it and do "slicing" cuts. Probably means I need to sharpen up some knives or something
Same wide chisel to do the bulk of removal on the outside of the bowl (play with the drawknife for that but I really need better workholding for that.. thinking of making a shave pony).
made somewhat extensive use of my iwasaki carving file (medium flat, also have a half round and looove both of them) to cleanup the curves and finish the outside of the bowl.
short list:
