One of the simplest, yet most beautiful pieces that I've seen.

Your instruments are really sharp. Could you post a video on your sharpening process?

[@landingbirdwoodworking]

Maybe I will! I just use a diamond stone and a strop.

Nice work, however, you stopped too soon. Keep sanding and wetting between grits. First wetting at around 400-600 grit. Then 800, 1000, and then 1200. Then use Walnut oil as a food safe finish. After sanding to 1200 grit and then oiling your piece, let it set for a couple of days. Then sand with 1500 grit.

As a spoon carver myself, your project is beautiful and well thought out. I like the way you blended the different species of wood into a stunning flowing shape. Personally I sand all my spoons and spatulas to 1200, spraying with water from 240 up. They are all as smooth as a baby’s butt.

[@landingbirdwoodworking]

Thanks! I tend to go back and forth on sanding - sometimes I stop at 220, sometimes I go up to 1500.

It's a nice piece but I doubt it would actually get under that first piece of pie. Or any of the other pieces. It's not flexible enough. But I did enjoy watching the process.

[@landingbirdwoodworking]

I couldn't say for sure since the pie I used it on already had a couple pieces taken out of it. But yes, it would probably be more effective for something on a flat tray instead of digging into a pan.

Not good job.
