Here is some pics of the spoons that I whittled and a Tomahawk that I found and restored.

Great job on the spoons.

VThompson, what did you use to seal the spoons? They look like they have a coat of something on them.
Hard times don't last -- Hard people do.
badass vt, very good job.
how long does one of those spoons take?
Norse&Native, I have put several coats of olive oil on them. I figued that it would make a good sealant for them. I might be wrong, but it sounded good to me. What do you think?
Geromimo, It took me about 2 days each working on them off and on during the day. I never got in any hurry, I mainly piddled with them. I would finish them off by sanding them some to smooth them out a little. I am making one out of cedar right now, because my wife wanted one to hang in the kitchen so that she could smell it.

How is cedar for whittling. I know if I turn it on the lathe or cut it with a power tool it splints and splinters like the dickens.
I'd rather be carried by six than married by one!
Matthew, Cedar is great for whittling bcause it is so soft. So far I haven't had any problems with the one that I am making my wife.

I like the 'hawk very much. Can cedar be used for spoons to eat/cook with? (might be a stupid question)
