New knife ,a seasoned beech log and crap weather for kayaking resulted in my first attempt at a wood spirit

Only managed to stab myself once

Very nice, you should carve something similar into one of the kayak oars.

Great job. I've had a hook knife for making spoons rattling around the house for years but it's yet to be brought out in anger.
