Zennor, Cornwall

Any visit to West Cornwall would not be complete without saying hello to the C15th Mermaid of Zennor. Although she sits in isolation in a sea of mediocre Victorian restoration, she is beautiful, inspiring, and mysterious. She holds a mirror and a comb, seen as symbols of vanity.

Mini cherry scoop with kolrosing and chip carved decorations, one for the spices. This scoop was unintended as this piece of cherry wood had a crack in the bowl, so take it with a grain of salt ;)

Cherry scoop with kolrosing and chip carving decorations. I call this model "knorr" witch kind of means whirl in Swedish.

Eating spoon carved from oak wood. I took a round of spoon shots yesterday with a nice forest composition but they all turned out dark. So here is the latest spoon with good lighting.

If anyone happens to know, what kind of tools would I need to start out with whittling or small-scale wood carving? I'm assuming that balsa is the recommended starter wood, I can get cubes and other such shapes of it fairly easily. I don't currently have any knives I would trust to be sharp enough (and I probably need to learn how to sharpen a knife properly, I have a sharpening stone but I don't really know how to use it), but I'm also not sure if there's specific types that work better.

Cherry tea spoon with long handle. For years I thought I have to get long spoons for my tall tea cups as the small ones disappear into the cup. Now I make them my self.

Eating spoon carved from oak wood. A nice but hard wood to carve makes for a long-lasting dining companion.

This Havtorn Cooking Spoon has quickly become my go-to favorite when I am cooking in the kitchen.

The Remarkable Pinwill Sisters:

Three C19 women, Mary, Ethel and Violet, who established an ecclesiastical woodcarving business that became one of the best in Devon and Cornwall, at a time when this was entirely a male-dominated profession.

Their work was incredibly naturalistic. At Crantock, Cornwall, these seaweeds are identifiable down to species, carved either from life or from expert drawings.

Large serving spoon carved from sea buckthorn. There are not a lot of colors in nature in Sweden at this time of the year but I managed to find some.

Started my wood carving class last night! We are doing relief carving; I chose a Green Man pattern as my first design

I’ve only done a little figure carving so far, with a knife, so the relief carving and using chisels was really cool and very different

Excited to learn more!

Altarnun, Cornwall

There are a whole series of bench ends depicting characters such as jester and musician (👇 ), as well as jugglers, suggesting they are based on local fairs and festivals in the community, rather than any religious theme.
