Egg and Spoon Crafts is in England.

Flippy flipper number three.I'm utilising the spoon mule for some of the roughing out, so I'd say that it takes as long to do the slots as it does to do the rest of the form.But I think the slots are essential to the function. I'll need to work out a better way of doing them. So far, I've tried drilling the corners and chip carving away the centre portion. I've also tried chip carving the edges of the slot and popping out the shape. And finally, I've tried chipping a central slot in each shape and enlarging it. None of these methods is terribly satisfactory. Do you think a coping saw would be worth a try? ...

This is the comic strip I put together for the last issue of Emmet Van Driesche's @Spoonesaurus magazine. Just in case you didn't know, this is a real life printed quarterly magazine all about spoons. (Cool, huh?)Lately, each issue has been focused on a theme, and the last theme was "Axing".Normally, my design process is pretty solitary; if I'm on Riseup Andcarve, I might try to brainstorm some ideas, and Doug is very patient with mulling things over with me. But the kernel for this strip came into being while at Spoonburn this year. It started with Georg talking about his "Axe box", which, with a German accent, sounds very much like XBox.And from there, the idea was born that the comic strip would compare axing with gaming online. The only slight problem with this concept is that while I might know a reasonable amount about axing, I know nothing about gaming.Luckily though, I was surrounded by people who did have some esoteric gaming knowledge, and were prepared to support me through the tortuous route to creating the strip. Special thanks go to Andreas Heijdendael, @final_or and James Robertson. Your patience and willingness to disrupt your carving for me is greatly appreciated. ...

When I processed the blanks for these flippy flippers, I got one thing wrong. I had in mind that straight grain was very important for the blade, and went for the straightest portion of growth rings at the outside of a large log.Later, when I re-read Johannes Engell Kamber Aarø how-to guide in Spoonesaurus, he clearly guided me towards using a radial split (with the blade edge oriented radially from the centre of the log) rather than tangential. The logic is that there will be less movement as the wood dries in a radial split, so all the effort getting the blade flat won't be in vain. The result of this is that the blanks I made give a narrower blade than I originally planned, and the increased depth gives more crank on the handle.This is one of the things I love about carving... the material, or the decisions you make when processing the material, push the design in different directions. I'm also loving the chance to vary the handle (chunky is definitely better) and the slots (rounded holes are very challenging with a ring porous wood like ash).On to the next. ...

I made a flippy flipper last year, following Johannes Engell Kamber Aarø how-to guide in the Spoonesaurus magazine. We've used it ever since, and I've been keen to make more. I promised myself before the first of this year's gatherings that if I encountered some large diameter wood I'd focus on flippers. But woodpiles are enchanting things, and I've been lured away to other projects. The same would no doubt have happened at The Hoolie at the weekend, but for a large ash log in the charcoal pile. It had some colour in the grain and looked promisingly straight. Other stuff happened, but on Sunday, Jamie cut me a chunk to take home, and I blanked it up yesterday. This morning I was properly excited to be finally realising my promise to myself. Obviously it is ash, so a little harder than preferred. And I did stab myself. But I'm still delighted to have carved another flippy flipper. ...
