This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Notes -
Carving some spoons and maybe a ladle from manzanita. Would go a lot faster if I could rough out the blanks with a power tool but I'm not sure what would work, a reciprocating saw surely won't, for the ripping cuts. Maybe a little top handle chainsaw, at least for the ladle.
Also learning to climb trees this week, hell yeah.
I use a table saw or a hand saw to rough out the shape on spoons. A good rip saw will quickly go through straight grain, I've never worked with manzanita but I'm guessing it's got some wild grain patterns, so a rip hand saw might be pretty slow.
Maybe a small band saw?
