The smaller details will probably take longer. Then again, it could take you a couple of weeks! Some of the spoons done by today's masters are the size of their torso! They are that huge!Alanna Radle Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907345698828822693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-84256011343124939842016-08-20T11:50:52.930-04:002016-08-20T11:50:52.930-04:00Very sweet and very romantic, Joanne!

My grandmother when she gave it to me told me that he made sure that he kept it was extra sharp and was used only for whittling. "If you use this, you better keep the edge just as sharp." She's been gone three years now and I have yet to use it. And I hear you there. I believe there are lots of things we all kick ourselves later for letting go. Perhaps you can make some more and share? I'd love to see some of your work.

If you're in Oklahoma, I can hook you up easily. If you have a Woodcraft store in your town, that would be a good place to start, too. Look me up on Facebook and send me a message. Once you do, I will probably be able to find out some connections from the club in Oklahoma. And I would love to keep up with your carving exploits! ;-)Alanna Radle Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907345698828822693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-40210235415221960842016-08-19T19:29:38.238-04:002016-08-19T19:29:38.238-04:00They certainly are, both seeped in mystery and tra...They certainly are, both seeped in mystery and tradition and love, Marilyn!

My Finnish grandfather taught me how to whittle spoons when I was twelve. They were simple wooden kitchen spoons similar to your Heirloom Spoon but with a thicker neck, shallower bowl, and strictly for kitchen use. The older I get, the more I wish I'd saved mine.<br /><br />Very nicely done - the spoons as well as the post.
