Sorry, not terribly educational unless you want to learn how NOT to carve wood... But its a video for a contest so if you can handle sporting some likes and views for me it would be much appreciated.

Brother you've got to start somewhere...and you've got a good start on it. First came the paddle to get us down stream, them came the shovel that dug the fire pit and then came the spoon that nourished the body. We all started somewhere. I and the wife used chop sticks this evening during supper by the way!!!

My first spoon was nothing to look at...but over time I was able to carve out this Kuksa That's my "Carvin' Jack" knife on top and a micro Kuksa on the handle.... but all that started from this spoon...

Right on. I think my next step is to find some green wood to start with.

well, I'm pretty sure I couldn't build a paddle, a neanderthal spoon OR chopsticks....so I'm not one to judge...
but I'll tell you my first loaf of bread that I made from scratch turned out rock hard and the dog wouldn't even eat it....now I make pretty decent bread....baby steps!
Bravo for the attempt and the lessons learned. I agree.....learning what NOT to do next time is a big part of skill building....

Even did a how to make a swedish fire log video I did at work! ps, thanks to anyone that viewed the original video in the post, I won second place! A Mora and a leather strop was the prize, only consolation was I was 2nd out of only 2 entries. LOL
