Thanks for the inspiration

>The recent spoon contest pushed me over the edge to buy a spoke shave. So I ordered up one from Lee Valley. WOW right out of the box it worked great. I had no idea how well these tools slice wood.

Here�s my first attempt to free hand something from a rough chunk of wood. Its not real elegant but it was fun and fits my paw very nicely

Thanks

Dan

>Actually I patterned it after a 12th century dining set I saw at the Louvre ... yeah right

Still it was a fun first experience of a spoke shave and probably a useful LadelSpoon to boot .

Nice soppn My grandma ysed to wack me with a wooden spoon when I was bad I sure am glad you didn't make it for her.
