The one that has the grain going the wrong direction, it’s a cutting bord cut off. I figured, what the hell, it’s probably just going to be decorative.

        What kind of tools did you use for the dugout portion? I really want to make some but hand-carving is kind of a pain in the ass.

          Dremel, on the cut off spoon and the blonde one. The little one was a spoon knife. The little one started as a pretty small piece of wood. All hand tools and sandpaper on that one.

          I also use a hand held belt sander that I pin to my table with clamps. Green wood is the best if you use a knife, but then you gotta worry about it cracking as it dries.

          Not if you use a sharp tool. And sharpening and stropping are good skills for a Dull Man to have. Because it is, in fact, a dull process.

          Which reminds me, I need to touch up a chainsaw chain to do some trees cutting on my yard soon.
