>>2747339it does depend a little on what wood you actually will be working on, i cut hardwood (usually sycamore or fruit trees)
the tools i use:
leather gloves just for a better and more comfortable grip
folding saw to cut the log (green wood cuts like butter)
small hatchet to split the log and rough out the larger material
small knife (Mora Wood Carving Basic Knife)
crook knife for the spoon bowl (mora 164)
sandpaper (medium 400 and superfine 2000)
sharpie for drawing out a spoon shape and trying to keep it
you'll need to oil your spoon or else it will stain with food - oil finishing is, no easy answer, theres a lot of debate on good finishes
mineral oil and walnut oil are good, but are non-drying, as they remain liquid they slough off in cooking or wash off when cleaning so you have to keep applying it, neeswax too, boiled linseed oil has chemical additives that speed up the drying that is pretty toxic, using non-boiled linseed oil is safe but the drying time is long.. basically a week or two.
you wanna sharpen your knives between each spoon, the steel gon blunt fast
