>>372716Thanks.
>>372704I don't know what
>>369552 used, for the spoon I used my pocket knife, a woodcarving gouge for the bowl, and sandpaper. I'd start with a decent knife with comfortable handle, and a basic set of gouges. Never used a hook knife (I do more stone carving than wood so I don't have a lot of wood tools) but one of those might be good. Then add whatever else you find you need as you go.
Just discovered picture related and I want one....
