Robert Frost Maple Carved Spoons - Part 2



The spoons are sanded, and ready for the pyrography.


I drew a maple leaf free-hand with a pencil, and then go over my outline with a 10-A handpiece using my Eagle Burnmaster. Once the outline is finished, I use a shading handpiece to darken around the leaf edge.






And here's a finished leaf on the handle.


The two spoons, front and back of the handle.



Two spoons, signed and dated on the back of the scoop.



Several coats of a hand-rubbed oil finish, every twenty-four hours, and ready for delivery!
