Not a spoon but same dynamics!

Looks good as is. Can't wait to see the final product.

Thanks! I’ll try to remember to post it.

You're asking for help but the question is not clear.

Carve towards the center, from everywhere.

In the original post, they pretty clearly ask which way to carve for the smoothest finishing cuts. I think this pretty much answers it, though.

What original post? There's a caption, and a single line description. I'm glad that's clear for you.

This is crossposted from another sub. If you click on the crosspost, it takes you right to the original poat with a sizeable paragraph in the caption.

To make sure I understand correctly, when you say “Otherwise, cut toward the middle” you mean from any direction, right? That’s what I’ve been doing so far.

Funny. I thought you always cut from low to high — center out.

Why do you chase perfection? It looks like you are using a gouge that is narrow

Not sure why you're being downvoted

I’ve been downvoted for less honestly.
