I'm new to spoon carving. Great pleasure doing my first in pine. Second in cherry is coming along well. I like the spokeshave facets on the outside of the bowl and on the handle but not so much those inside the bowl. I use a 25 mm #5, 16 mm #5, and 8 mm #7 for the inside of the bowl. It has a fair curve to its depth of ~20mm, but is not truly smooth. I've tried the gooseneck scraper and think I could do better with it as I improve my preparation and technique. Small riffler files have helped. I have a Mora #164 hook knife on order. I'd like to stay with hand tools and avoid sandpaper if I can. Have you other suggestions? Thanks.
