I started on this one shortly after the first one had some problems with a bark inclusion. See this post for details.
This one went much faster and no surprises. Hawthorne, 12.5" long, raw tung oil finish.

Very , I like it. This is something I am going to try very soon. I have to pick up a Mora Knife one of these day's and then I am good to go.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Steve, I bought a Mora knife but didn't use it much on this project. I used a couple of carving gouges, that little drawknife from Lee Valley (that's a sweet little tool that works great for shaping the exterior), rasps, and a Veritas chairmaker's scraper. Oh, and I can't forget my most well-used carving tool, 36 grit sandpaper.

Very nice shape on that one. I like the curve on the handle, especially.

Nice, clean design and beautifully executed. I like it a lot!

The A side is positively wicked, the B side is muddled in comparison. Looks like 2 different pieces. Did you not spend much time on the back, or is that a trick of the photography and the difference of convex/concave?
Either way the form is awesome
