Spoon from 2x4 Posted: 08 Dec 2019 10:54 AM PST ​ https://preview.redd.it/b72ux4u7ig341.jpg?width=2380&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0affe1dbba56208855c7eb177c3451aef331069f This is a spoon I carved from a crappy chuck of 2x4 last weekend. I roughed out the shape in stages on the band saw. The bowl was carved with a large gouge (#7, 35mm). The back of the bowl and the handle were shaped with chisels and a spokeshave. The spoon is somewhat shorter than I would have liked, but I was struggling to find a length of 2x4 without knots in it, and this was the best I could do. The execution is clumsy. There is a bit of asymmetry in the bowl that bugs me. Also, if I do it again, I think I'd change the order of operation. I carved the bowl first. That made it very difficult to support when shaping the handle. Maybe I should have done the handle first. Or maybe that comes with its own problems. submitted by /u/Fuddy-D [link] [comments]

How should I go about hollowing out a pipe? Posted: 08 Dec 2019 10:53 AM PST I'm making a pipe for one of my buddies as a birthday gift. The only problem is I'm an absolute hipster and don't like to use power tools, opting to use chisels n' knives instead. How would I go about hollowing out a pipe stem and bowl? Currently I planned on putting together a bow drill and using that but I'm afraid I'll split the wood (using cedar btw). Any advice is welcome submitted by /u/teh_blackshirt [link] [comments]
