Spent a week at the Sturt Summer School in January and decided to have a go at carving a smallish, more traditional love spoon in english lime. I have carved some more rustic spoons for family as gifts, but this was more of a challenge as it had finer detail and had to be hand held for most of the time. It was good to come to grips with using a knife under the supervision of our tutor from Canberra Keith Houston. He does the most amazing small carvings, chopsticks into chain link and very wee spoons, uses things more like needles than gouges to carve. Way beyond my skill and dexterity !!
