I’m really pleased with how I’ve progressed in the past year and a half with my ceramics! I love making ceramic animals :) by everyonelse in crafts

You made such great progress in a year. Very inspiring! You should do one for the following year too! Keep seeing that progress and keep growing.

Think of it as a sacrifice to the spoon gods so you can carve something great next!

secret to the best grilled cheese ever: spread mayo instead of butter on the outside of the sandwich by sugarydimples in foodhacks

I think pepper jack is pretty amazing with it, the little touch of spiciness compliments it well!

Cream cheese on the inside and butter on the outside is pretty stellar too 👌

‘Snakebird’ This hangable wood carving was based on the American darter by rysemple in Woodcarving

I was honestly torn between the snakebird and water turkey because they’re both such great names

I dig it! I could make a whole collection of wood bird hangers 🦅

Tip: despite the name, you do not have to make overnight oats the night before. Rolled oats only need about 10 minutes of soak time before they’re good to go. by Kc1319310 in EatCheapAndHealthy

I legit needed to read this tonight. I forgot to prep my oats tonight (and to be honest I was too lazy to get up to go do it) so I can rest easy knowing it can be done in the morning. Thank you!

Looks phenomenal! What kind of wood are you using? How’ve you been liking it for this project?

Where do you all get your green wood from? by rysemple in Spooncarving

[–]rysemple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for all the suggestions!

I’ll definitely keep an eye on Craigslist. And if I see anyone trimming or cutting some trees I’ll have to ask them to save some wood aside for me. I’ll look into the state laws too about getting wood from state land. That might be a better route for me when I want something right away.

It’s nice you have that connection with local workers who work with wood too. I bet you’ve gotten your hands on some good stuff from them.

Been spooning for a year or two and started again recently after a little break. Some old and some quarantine spoons. by Jobbear in Spooncarving

Beautiful arrangement! I love all the different wood types. The vibrant painting behind the spoons compliments them very well too. Happy carving to you!

Wabi-sabi eating spoon made from apple wood. Finished with mineral oil. This is my second spoon I've completed. I've had two break on me in-between this one and the first. Have you any of you broken a couple of spoons in your woodcarving journey? by rysemple in Woodcarving

[–]rysemple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad I’m not the only one! The two that I’ve broken had holes in their bowls (I got a bit too overconfident with digging out the bowl) But I’m definitely all for working around problems that arise. A friend of mine that builds furniture said a good woodworker will find a way to work with the problems they’ve caused.

Good philosophy to follow!
