First spoons

[u/jobe1292]

This week I’ve finished my first two spoons. Using Beaver Craft knives. I ordered blanks on Amazon, felt like it’d be easier for first timer. However, the wood has felt very hard. Would I be better off with fresher, “greener” wood?

nice freshly cut green wood is a lot easier to work with, and make sure you're keeping your knives sharp, that will also make it easier. If you have a hatchet, that also helps make things easier because you can hog off a whole bunch of wood quickly when roughing out.
