I can be helpful to know that in Swedish, spoon is spelled "sked".

Some pictures from Täljfest at Sätergläntan-

-Tage Lundqvist, playing an accordion that he made himself. 

- a large spoon/ladle carved by Niklas Karlsson

- Barn may have found his Swedish doppleganger?

- I really enjoyed a bit of quiet carving time with Wille.

-Tons of activity in the evenings outside the main wood shop.

Lots of stories and pictures from Sweden, come to the next meeting on Sept 9th. at Mississippi Market.

Nice Crooks are valuable... I always feel very lucky if I am able to split them
 and get two spoons from one.

Jögge split this one and got three good spoons out of it!

You don't see that every day.  

A great, quick axe-work video by Jarrod.
