    Where to start as a beginner?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 07:44 AM PDT

    I bought a knife kit and some basswood and I made a little spoon, but the idea of making any sort of figure is a little overwhelming for me. I can't seem to find clear step by steps of how to do it online. So if anyone has some simple recommendations of projects that I should focus on to get comfortable with the tools, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Also, how frequently do you sharpen while you're doing the project? I was ripping the wood sometimes on the spoon and realized that I probably should've been sharpening.

    Spoon Carving Question

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 12:41 PM PDT

    Hello! I'm new to this Reddit and relatively new to carving with hand tools.

    I've been making some spoons at home with dry wood (maple), and working my way up from 80 grit to 400 grit sandpaper to finish. I'll typically do an initial wet towel wipe down and sand again at 400 grit to smooth out all of the fibers that have "bloomed" - getting the spoon super smooth.

    The problem that I have found it - after I use the spoon (i.e. stirring soup), I've found that the wood wants to keep blooming and won't stay smooth - instead becoming coarse with wood fibers each time after it gets wet, even though I try to dry the wood immediately after use.

    I'm looking for some advice on how to keep the spoon smooth through repeated uses / wettening. It would be great to be able to keep it smooth after the first use / wettening or two. Thanks so much!
