some cool 'how to' pics from a block and a tree limb

Almost done posting pictures from the 5th annual spoon gathering. Here are the spoons Ben brought to share.

Vance and his wife from KS drove up to Milan for the first time. His style really caught me and I admired them greatly. Not to mention they were both great people. His wife spent the hours knitting and he carved. I hope they come again next year.

And more

More great spoons from several carvers at the gathering in Milan Mn.

Here are pictures of Rita's spoons. She carves all kinds of wood including some exotic varieties. She also gave a nice talk on spoon carving and her technique.

Another nice collection brought to share with others. I am a walnut fan and that spoon 5th from the right is a keeper.
