Thanks for the help with My endeavors.

I started carving an aluiet paddle,

I was wondering what to use to carve Hollows (didn awant to go native and use bent knife , Time thing) for the hollows along the spine I ordered a spoon plane from WOODCRAFT.

WOW Wow Wow what a simple yet very effective tool , didnt cost much $19.95 I also had it sharpend by woodcraft ($4.99)to get a good profressional edge first time around I sharpend once last night as well,, wood just curls right off it !!

I hollowed out one blade in a little over an hour , ready for smooth sanding. I used a block plane to get things started but did (95% with the spoon plane incuding bringing the edges down

Ill do the other end tonight this tool saved tons of time!!
