Flower carved spoons
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I had a broken Acacia board that had been floating around in the workshop. So I thought I would try and carve a spoon. Well…. one spoon grew into four and still carving them. I started with the gumnuts and Eucalyptus leaves. Then the NSW emblem of the Waratah Then i thought I would try for all the floral emblems of each Australian state. The Cooktown orchid for Queensland I had one order for the city of Brisbane which happens to be a red poinsettia even though iys a native to Mexico. I am really enjoying these as they are relatively stress free and easy to do once cut. And they turn out well. Once the carving is finished I coat with food grade oil or wax. I realised that oil is easier because of the carved detail.
