SPOON CARVING EJ OSBORNE
SPOON CARVING EJ OSBORNE This book demonstrates how, with three basic tools – an axe and two knives – you can shape a small tree branch into a simple, honest utensil. As well as information on tree identification, EJ explains the key techniques of chopping, splitting, planing, shaving, and cutting. Once you are confident with the woodworking skills, you can progress to the projects chapter where full instructions are given for making five different utensil types, starting with the simplest spatula, cooking spoon, and hanging jar spoon, before moving on to a coffee scoop and then finally graduating on to the bentbranch spoon.
