Using basswood blanks in the beginning helped me a lot with my confidence to play with different shapes and carving small. Highly recommend for the aspiring spoon carver.

First attempt at a proper carving block! This is still a work in progress but I’m curious what additions you like on yours?

Had other people draw the spoon outlines on the blanks. It was a delightful exercise! Baked the middle one and WOW. Poplar sapling is so buttery and a much needed change of pace from my usual dense wood I’ve been carving.
