Review on 2Pcs Walnut Wood Carving Spoon Blanks Unfinished Wooden Craft Whittling Kit For Beginner Kids Whittlers Starter by Isaac Tutt

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Half was cracked, but your mileage may vary

The first blank I practiced on was excellent, and the resulting spoon turned out great.I'd avoided starting with the second because a crack was visible on the bowl portion of the basswood blank. Cutting deeper, it had a knot and even more fatal cracks. I ended up sawing most of the bowl portion of the blank away in an attempt to salvage things.Wood is a natural material, so I don't hold it against the maker and distributor, but half of the package probably could have used more quality control.I still think for the money this seems like a good option for a beginner. You'll learn a lot (arguably more from something that gives you trouble); I know I did. I think I might try green wood moving forward instead.
