When I'm teaching spooncarving I always say spoons should be shaped like shovels not spades. A shovel has an angle between the handle and blade which makes it better for scooping stuff up. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1792224848088017

One of my favourite woodworkers is Karel Hekrle his work pushes boundaries and always excites and inspires with delightful forms and surface textures. It's never easy to buy his work in the UK, the few pieces he had for sale at spoonfest went imediately. So after he taught at spoonfest this year he spent a few days in Edale finishing some work. He even collected edale walnuts to die some of the pieces. Those pieces are now dry and ready for new homes. If you think you would like to rehome one of these wonderful mini sculptures pop over to his website www.treenfolks.com and in the carving gallery you'll see pieces for sale with prices including UK postage. You'll message and pay Karel then I'll post you the item. There are not many so be quick.

These amazing bowls and spoon are made by the most lovely humble craftsman Karel Hekrle who has been visiting for SPOONFEST. He stayed a few days extra at my place in Edale and carved a bunch of bowls which are now finished and drying. In a few weeks we'll be offering them for sale and I can post them out. If anyone is free next week and can get to London he's teaching a course at the greenwood guild and there's a free place.
