Autumnal colours and textures from the last couple of days visiting some lovely National trust parks @nationaltrust@nt_lymepark & @ntdunhammassey with @carriepmason and our little man. Think this is my favourite time of year. π€β€οΈπππππ°
Finally finished my Shroom Schpoon from #spoonfest2025 from the workshop by @hetzronio . It sat in a bag for a while so I lightly baked it to even put the colour a little. Added a little milk paint to finish. Happy with it. π€ #spooncarving #mushrooms
Day job post:

Finally finished another spoon. A simple one this time from a piece of spalted beech from @soulwood_creations . Finished with my @nic_westermann@hewnandhone turning sloyd that I recently handled with a soulwood-style ergonomic handle which I love! Perfect winters evening by the fire. πͺπ‘οΈπ₯π₯

Since Spoonfest I haven't managed to carve an actual spoon but I have been away on a family holiday visiting the Lego House in Billund, Denmark and managed to make a mini-me to carve a mini spoon. π€π₯

Been a bit vacant recently. Not had a lot of time or inclination but feeling very happy with this lovely little spoon. Feeling like I have my own style now. Also, first time with kolrosing. Pretty happy with the results. This one is coming to Spoonfest with me. ππ₯ Sycamore finished with cinnamon and walnut oil and burnished with stone. #handcarved #carvedspoon #spoonknife #mojoback #kolrosing #woodtools #morakniv

Totally my favourite spoon so far. Little cherry eating spoon with asymmetric handle. Burnished but not oiled this one to see how it holds up. #spooncarving #woodcarving #handmade #greenwoodworking #treen #spoonknife #spoonlife #woodtools @woodtools #mora106
Sat out last night and made a new small cooking spoon. Cherry with textured handle
