I know I promised but this is (Big black dog) Mark's fault.
My method of making spoons init?
Start with a plank in a vice and mark the shape out, I use this tool that dad gimme but any gouge would do same job.
Hollow out the dish to your desired shape, answer the phone that won't stop ringing and have a cuppa.
Return to shed and chop spoon up in the bandsaw, gather tools and scratch and retreat to beer seat in garden.
Carve the bottom and handle to desired shape drink beer sand it down and drink more beer, I use 120 then 400 grit scratch I find that is enuf.
Leave on purpose some knife marks to show it has been hand carved, it looks too shop bought if you smooth it out completely.
If i was gonna do that I would have turned round in shed and finished from bandsaw on belt sander init?
Forgive my feeble attempt at aging and distressing, I was trying to get patina of something Chas would use in his reenactments.
I wanted it to look like it had been found in a loft or dug out of a lost trunk.
