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

I ordered this so I could try spoon carving, and so far it’s been very easy to work with each different kind of wood , though you have to be careful with the basswood blank because it’s a soft wood and it’s easy to take too much off if you’re not careful. These arrived early and in great shape. It was an excellent product for the price . I’d recommend this to everyone wanting to try their hand at beginning wooden spoon carving. They make excellent handmade gifts for the holidays. All in all an…

Bought these to teach my Grandson how to whittle/carve. I remember my Dad actually taking the time to sit down and show me how to do these from an old lightning-struck cottonwood, and my mother proudly using the utinsels her son made.I don't have the lightning-struck cottonwood, but I'm hoping to plant a strong memory in my Grandson's mind.and I know my daughter will love anything he does.

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

One of the blanks I received had a large split in the middle of the spoon end. Carved it anyway, but this one is completely useless. Wish someone had checked these before shipping because it was easy to see from the outside.The wood was soft and fun to carve for a beginner. Would have been better if they were quality checked before shipping.

I gave these to my husband as part of a themed gift for Christmas. He had said he wanted to start woodcarving now that he's retired, so I gave him these and a few excellent carving tools. Using these helped him learn how to properly use his tools and he had a great time working with them Now we have a new wooden spoon and he's ready to move on to his next attempt. However, my next gift will be protective gloves for his hands!

Nice thick wood. Mostly easy to carve. The cherry and walnut wood might be a little hard for beginners but others great buy

You can make a great spoon with a nice curved handle and deep bowl or slice them lengthwise and make a couple of basic eating/cooking spoons.

These spoons are smaller than the size advertised. The handle is not even a half inch wide. The only correct measurement was the depth, all others are an eighth to a quarter inch smaller.

As described. Quality lumber was used. These blank spoons were cut with accuracy. I'm very pleased with this purchase and will be purchasing more blanks.

Practice turned into nice results. Worthwhile investment, w order a basswood next. Cherry was perfect for harder wood practice

The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because these blanks could be just a *little* but bigger, but other than that no complaints. These blanks make it very easy to whittle away to make the spoons of your dreams.

The blanks are exactly what I expected. They are good quality cherry with no cracks or checking. Check the dimensions carefully, they are too small for a long handled stirring spoon.

Very nice wood blanks. Even color and soft enough for beginners to practice with. Came very securely packaged and undamaged in shipment. Great learning tool for someone starting out carving.

I have not carved the walnut or cherry, but the basswood splits on the littlest of knife pulls. There are quite a few knots in the blank. I’d use these for beginners to get a feel for carving, but I wouldn’t buy the basswood expecting to keep any useable item.

These blanks are great -- as other reviewers have noted, they're a good size and shape, and have the depth to create a pretty wide variety of spoon/ladle profiles.I got these blanks (and a BeaverCraft knife kit) and went to town before knowing the difference between green wood and dry wood. While I know these aren't green wood, I still found that my first two spoons cracked as they dried further. Like I said I didn't know the difference between green wood and dry wood, and probably did…

I myself am new to spoon carving. I'm not sure basswood would be my first choice wood for spoons but it's great for the beginner.

The spoon blanks are very nice, and IMO, a great buy. Both of them were straight grained with no blemishes. May not be suitable for those with limited outdoor space for carving.

The looks nice, but the first blank I am using has a knot in the handle. This is making it hard to carve around. That's my feedback.

I used it to make 2 beautiful wooden spoons. The grain was really nice once oiled. They were easy to carve. The basswood was a great quality piece of wood.

I love to carve these spoons. So much fun. Just a little difficult when you come across a knot. But hey. It’s wood. It happens.
