55 on the fly

Folks, here is my finished pear wood "lefty spoon"... I am very happy with the way it tured out. The spoon has nice color and the pear wood is much stronger than I thought it would be. When I finished carving I treated it with two coats of raw tung oil. It was a fun and challenging spoon to carve. Carving such a curved piece required paying close attention to the grain of the wood. This is my third spoon.

Hi folks - 55 On the Fly here with my  "Bird in the hand"  Kuska.  It's made of basswood and has an antler toggle that is attached with braided deer sinew. The cup is the first Kuska I have ever made and was finished with pure tung oil.  It should go nicely with my hand made spoons.
