It’s a piece of gum tree. Eucalypts are hard as the devil, which is proving to be a little slippery in practice. I chiselled out a grid pattern which is working okay, but it’s still slipping much more than my old rotting pine log.

At this point I’m hoping it will get a grip as it ages and silvers and gets beaten on. We’ll see.

    Brilliant. I’ve seen this setup before actually, just forgot about it. I’m gonna have to do it.

    You have any spoons to post on here? Would be great to see what other carvers are up to on here.
