BeaverCraft BB2 Spoon Carving Blanks – Linden, Cherry, Mulberry, Walnut

With the BeaverCraft BB2 Spoon Carving Blanks, you experience spoon carving in its purest form. The set includes four pre-shaped blanks in cherry, mulberry, European walnut and linden (basswood). Starting from a clean base shape lets you focus immediately on technique, proportions and finish—without spending time on heavy roughing.

Each wood has a distinct character and teaches different cutting and finishing skills. Cherry offers a warm reddish-brown tone and fine, even grain; it carves smoothly and yields an elegant, subtle sheen. Mulberry carries a golden hue, works easily and polishes beautifully. European walnut is sturdy and wear-resistant with deep, contrasting grain—great for spoons with presence. Linden (basswood) is light, homogeneous and forgiving: perfect for learning slowly and in control.

The BeaverCraft BB2 Spoon Carving Blanks are sized for safe, predictable work—great for beginners, ideal for classes and handy for experienced carvers who want to iterate quickly. Pair them with a sloyd/whittling knife and a spoon knife or gouge; you’ll see progress quickly and build confidence in hollowing, handle profiling and edge finishing.

Whether you’re drilling consistent shapes or exploring new profiles, this set gives you four clear playgrounds and speeds up your learning curve. You’ll develop a personal style faster—along with a neat, food-friendly surface.
