Spoon Carving in the Garden

Here's the Byw yn Yr Ardd programme with the spoon item of mine. Here I am in me garden showing my friend how to carve spoons out of willow wood.






Me showing her the spoons I'd made before.













Close up of the spoons I've made before
















I think she's impressed, hehe.















Time to get carving.















Close up of knife on wood.













Hmm what the heck am I saying here. Looks like it begins with a W 'What are you whittling, willow? Well well!'















A finished spoon (but shh, we didn't finish it on the day because it actaully takes me like 2-3 days to finish a spoon, if I work like a mad woman and don't mind my wrist being unusable the for the next week).

I thought it unlikely you had finished it in one day. I watched the repeat "yn Gymraeg" on the S4C website with the subtitles, which make it much easier for the learner!

Great day in Kidwelly today. Lots of people and only one shower of rain after this morning's downpour. Thanks for your translation!
