Testrun with Lauri #1

I tested the Lauri-knife today, by making a spoon. I found it comfortable to use, and my fear that the blade would wobble out of the handle because the slot wasn`t fully filled with epoxy didn`t come true this far. I am a bit reluctant to post this spoon since I am not too happy with it. The bowl had some tear out due to a blunt spoon knife, and that resulted in me having to alter the bowl shape. I am pleased with the crank I got into this little one though.

This spoon is carved from my last scraps of the sycamore I have. It is becoming dry and hard to carve. Today I heard that somebody reserved me a large chunk of chestnut though, so that should keep me busy for a while.
