Some of the pictures I've been talking about

The spoon I'm working on is really coming along. Carving inside the bowl with the Mini Northstar is going to be tough but I'm committed now to finishing it with one knife.

Dan whipped up the strop board last night while I was hanging around the shop. It's just as I had written with the included lanyard hole. I threaded it last night once I got home but will take the paracord out today and ream the holes to give them a more "finished" look and then rethread the cord. Next I've got to load the sides with compound and then get to work touching up the edges on my blades.
