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.

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.

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

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