Scooptydo.

This morning I had my first exam of the year, and I didn`t do to well. I guess I did good enough to pass but not with a result that I`ll be very proud of. Quite annoyed with myself about this I figured that I should sit down and carve it of. Carving for me is quite meditative and always slows me down. I suppose that those who carve recognize this feeling, and those who don`t should try it sometime and be convinced. I sat down with a bit of hawthorn that was too short for a spoon, and too small for a kuksa. That left me with not many other options than to make another scoop. I quite enjoy scoops. They are small and fun to make, and ideal for when the woodsupply is not ample. I settled for an eggshaped bowl with a raised rim where the handle meets the bowl. I like the light spalting in this one.

Here both scoops are side by side. they are comparable in size, but the latest one has a larger capacity. Different to the older one I shall be keeping this one unsanded.
