New spoon knife

To be honest I've had it a while now but i haven't been able to post for a bit so i will write it as if i have just got it .. lol. Its really cool i got it off ray mear's is website, www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/580-Spoon-Knife-Big-Right-handed I wanted this particular one because i thought ,still do think its the best u can get, unless u have a friend that can forge one for you, but don't think of me as a snob just i think with tools, you get what you pay for . I want a tool for life if possible. Its amazing quality, razor sharp comes with a poly blade sheath and the blacksmiths initials on the handle.
  I've made my first bowl with it its hard going if u want it deep, I'm learning very quickly that you do not want to rely on it for the roughing out, may sound stupid but i was naive to think you could make it do the work and it would take it just fine but sadly it seems to blunt quickly.

  Its expensive but very nice to use but i must learn how to sharpen it lol. i finished the outside of the bowl using a belt sander, i no its cheating, i did the bulk work with a chisel and my knife, axe was to clumsy for the job.

First lathe bowl

It was a big learning curve i know its not bushcraft but i want to post about all manner of crafts. I really enjoyed it it was very fun, very quick. Made out of an off cut of pine, it's too soft really and my newbie mistake was seeing other peoples bowls and, not wanting it to be too fat i went to thin. Its unbelievably light almost like polystyrene.
 Sanding is a dream as is lacquering etc. I really want to get a lathe of my own but the cost is very high for my very small bugit.

My first bowl/ pond boat

I made my first bowl using an axe. It took about and hour to rough it out and wasn't very thin but was what i thought quiet good. I then used a curved chissel( normally used for eye soccets etc) to carve the inside deeper .
This part was what took the time i used specald oak, i think and seeled it using lin seed oil. Before sanding it 3 times with 80-180 grit paper i tryed to get rid of some of the indents left from a inadequat tool for the job. I think it turned out well but there is obvious room for inproovement.
I am currently workin on getting a spoon knife, this will hopefully enhance any future bowls by giving a smoother base and getting rid of marks left by my chissel.
