Sounds like a fair deal.
I'm intrigued by the handle, where you just following the shape of he timber, or was it pre planned?

[bikebum1975]

Thanks
The shape was sorta half planned but I just kinda go with it see how the wood speaks to me

On the note of wood sometimes speaking to you and just going with the flow etc. .. why does the wood never speak to me and tell me how to do a nice looking wood-spirit! lol... man I wish I had a bit more of an arty eye as I'm not very good at making elaborate designs.

Thanks Mate be honest with ya I only did a very rough idea as to the shape of the handle the curves kinda came out on their own as I went. And side note I am very new to spoon carving and very addicted already I got a couple others started but this is gonna be the first to finish once the blade comes in :D
