Questions & Comments

                                                           

Today we have a comment from Phyllis who writes:

“Very nice blog about spoons Bob. I have carved a couple of decorative spoons but never a practical spoon. Last week I went to Fox Chapel’s warehouse and bought a book that was printed in 2020. The book is called “12 Spoons 2 Bowls and a Knife”. Eventually I hope to carve some practical spoons from this book. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and keep on carving.—-Phyllis”

Thank you for your comments and input on the new book about spoon and bowl carving.  I have seen the book advertized but have not yet had a change to look at it.  The title of the book is “12 Spoons 2 Bowls and a Knife.”  My question is, are these all projects that can be done completely with a knife?  I’ll be anxious to see some of the spoons you carve from the book!

Remember:

Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
