Tried a fork

Inspired by this thread on the wonderful BushcraftUK-forum, I had a go at a fork. It presented me with some new angles and it was a fun new challenge. I`ll have to make some more and eventually I might end up with something usable. I live in hope ;-).
 I lost one of the tines in the process. I removed too much wood behind it, and there was too little grain left to support it. I decided to not chuck it in a fire, but to continue with it and simply end up with a three-tined fork instead.

 And there it is. Or at least what I have now. At the moment I do not see where removing wood would improve it, but I might cut away at it some days from now, when it is dryer.


One problem I haven`t solved yet is how to get rid of the fluff that the saw makes in the end of the slots. I think the answer lies in abbrasives. It was fun to do something else for a bit. I foresee more forks in my near future.
