Hello Pete,

Welcome to the forum.

You are off to a good start.

That natural wood fork is nice , it reminds me very much of the "catties" that we made as children.

Those hand cut fork tip grooves are just screaming for bands to be attached by the old tried and true "cowhitch" method.

Teach your Youngster well and enjoy your stay on the forum.

Cheers.

Welcome, that natural is awesome!

Natural is looking good there brotha. I would sand the edges down a bit on the board cut to avoid any burs catching your bands. And maybe rounding it out more for a smooth and safe travel on release, my two cents. But you are off to a really good start.

Welcome from Georgia Pete, great start.....especially loving that natural as that's what I mostly make myself.
It has some great grain and coloration to it.
