Beth Sprouts Handmade; i do like a little bit of butter on my bread

We had a lovely hayfever inducing sunday carving greenwood butter knives. I lept at the chance as they are a very swedish phenomena.

So here is my first attempt at wood carving. I had to break the first timer rules by incorporating a 'knot' into the handle, they are hard to carve but add interest. Was also a little but naughty and sanded it when it had dried, a big no no in greenwood working.

Then it is coated in linseed oil to seal it. Happy buttering.
