Feeling inspired by Swedish father and son woodcarvers Wille and Jögge Sundqvist, I revisited the humble Swedish Butterknife. I used some cherry I harvested during recent felling work I completed at work. I also wanted to test out my new Svante Djärv Carving Knife (16x70mm)...
I went on a semi-wild camp last year and started carving a naturally curved Elm Spatula. Finally managed to finish it and love cooking with it...
I had some cherry and some wild rose wood and carved a couple of regular spoon this afternoon...
Here is a little progress report on my giant Cedar Spoon. Far too many knots for a spoon, but I am persevering with working out the design. It is a fun project, and we will see how functional it becomes when approaching the finishing stages... Still a bit to go!
Here are some of my current carving tools. There are a few of the famous and excellent Swedish tools by makers such as Gransfors Bruk, Karesuando Kniven and Svante Djarv. There are also a couple of knives I forged and handled myself a few years back...
