Hand carving exotic wood into spoon (Part 2 of 2): Finishing process

[@rogerthomas738]

Very nice, enjoy your craftsmanship striving to learn more from you guys

[@frozen_toes_ak]

Thanks! I’m trying to learn more myself. I still find the bowl and neck challenging.

Spoon turned out very nice. Do you just use a smooth river rock to burnish at the end?

[@frozen_toes_ak]

Thanks! Yes, it’s been working so far with just the smooth stone.

[@andrewlara6814]

@ will have to find one to try when everything thaws out again

[@frozen_toes_ak]

Copy that! I wanna get a smooth piece moose antler and try that next.

What was used to sand and finish?

[@frozen_toes_ak]

@stevenabeles616 I used a small stone to burnish. Didn’t used sand paper. Walnut oil to finish. How do you finish your spoons?
