I thought I'd try my hand at carving and making spoons for my granddaughters would be a nice little project in the run up to Christmas. The first is for my eldest granddaughter and I'm pleased with it. But I want to make something a little more delicate for the younger granddaughter. So on Saturday afternoon I tried to see how I'd get on making a smaller spoon. Again I'm pleased with the results and feel I'm learning a lot.
I think the thing I'm struggling with most is holding the pieces as I carve. I ended up whittling the small spoon, holding the piece in one hand while I cut with the other. I think I'd be happier if I could hold the work piece mechanically. I'd be able to cut waste away a lot more efficiently.
So how do others hold their carving projects?
