: Thanks for the help with My endeavors.

: I started carving an aluiet paddle,

: I was wondering what to use to carve Hollows (didn awant to go
: native and use bent knife , Time thing) for the hollows along
: the spine I ordered a spoon plane from WOODCRAFT.

: WOW Wow Wow what a simple yet very effective tool , didnt cost much
: $19.95 I also had it sharpend by woodcraft ($4.99)to get a good
: profressional edge first time around I sharpend once last night
: as well,, wood just curls right off it !!

: I hollowed out one blade in a little over an hour , ready for
: smooth sanding. I used a block plane to get things started but
: did (95% with the spoon plane incuding bringing the edges down

: Ill do the other end tonight this tool saved tons of time!!

: "John"

Looks like a handy addition to the shop. I just ordered one.
