No, but I was taught 'ow to 'old a 'ammer proper Woot! [:-))]

I do make all of the alphabet and had a comision to do a C & K, for Chris & Kyley for their wedding in Aussy. They either slid together or stood seperately and were apparently well liked by the couple. If I can find a photo I will post it


John.

The only difference between the men & the boys
is the size & the shape & the price of their toys!!

Would love to see that Jonz as I can't imagine where you would join a C and a K. K would be a lovely letter to do but C is kinda boring.

I like that piece alot JJ, it's original, functional and shows spirit...it's good to see something different. It's great when there aren't any rules, eh? Have you thought about selling your work?

My Uncle in Llanelly was quite well known for making Welsh Love Spoons.We have 3 personalised ones he did for us plus one for the P.O.Wales ceremony. Anyone else got any? I used to keep old bits of solid beech/walnut etc from my antiquing furniture days for him to carve. When he sent out Christmas cards he used to enclose a tiny heart spoon. I did find a roll of old carving chisels and gave him , he took great pleasure in using them. People used to send him pieces of wood from all over the world to carve commerative pieces. I coveted a walking stick he carved but not being a too-close relative it is pride of place in another family members house.

I'm afraid to say I didn't inherit his patient approach to wood,but I'm quite handy with a big Westwing [hammer,not motorbike] and nails.

Regards
