Wooden Butter knife

[C-WADE7]

A online whittling group I belong to does a monthly challenge and it was a butter knife this month. I made this out of teak sealed with mineral oil(food grade). I figured I would see if anybody else had wooden knives. The whittling and wood carving section gets very few looks on here so I figured I would post it here.

Well done, Coley.

Thanks Skip, it was different from my usual projects but it’s a knife and it’s wood carving, win win for me!! I even used it to make a grilled cheese for supper after posting.

Very impressive whittling Coley! Was that the contest winner?

No prize just a suggestion of a subject to carve and post what you come up with.

Very cool and excellent! What else have you carved?

[C-WADE7]

Lots of stuff. I post regularly in the wood carving and whittling section but it gets very little traffic. Here are a few.

Those are beyond impressive!

Thanks, I had a Great Uncle as a boy who was a great whittler. I’ve carried a pocket knife since about 8 years old and used to “whittle” sticks but got into more about 3 years ago. It also gives me a reason to buy more knives!

Dang, you got talent! I remember seeing that golfer. I loved the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show.

C-WADE7, Your butter knife and the rest of your work are very impressive. A pleasure to look at.

I have a wooden knife that I did not make. I bought it at a flea market for inspiration.
I would like to make a wooden knife someday in the same simple vein as the one I have. I guess it would be a butter knife.
I don't have the talent that you have but I think I could fashion one with a saw and a sander out of Maple.
Somehow I can't bring myself to use the one I bought in butter.

Thank you for the compliments.

I say just go for it! For that style of simple knife a Mora knife would work great. I rough shape with a scroll saw and shape with knives. I don’t care much for heavy sanding but for a butter knife it’s necessary. You will find that it will cut better one direction than the other and one side may the opposite direction.

This is one of my favorites not just because the caving but because I made it as a gift for oldest son when he got his Eagle rank. It was a rough out from Steve Prescott(who always has large cartoonish hands) carved and painted by me.
