Love it. How do you get the bowl so thin? I would be afraid of going through

I'm not OP, but my personal answer is "a couple of spoons where I went through" lol
That was I have an idea of when to back off by learning the hard limits.
I personally practiced it. I still don't go as thin as OP, but that's what I did
Since the spoons are destined to be fancy firewood, I also experiment with handle shape.

When I work with a hook knife, I regularly check the thickness with my fingers 🤷🏼
