Oof, woodworking mistakes aside, I appreciate the idea behind this kind of project. Making utensils from scratch is such a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. Don't give up, we need more projects like these!

Personally, I think whittling a fork from scratch is pretty badass, regardless of the extra 'stick' outcome. Keep going, the fun's in the fail and learn process!

Hey, I'm new to woodworking. I've messed up quite a few of my projects, but have never tried something like a fork. Maybe it's a good thing seeing as yours ended up as two sticks 😅. Any tips on what I should try first?

Just an FYI for next time. Make sure you're using nontoxic wood and sealant. Cherry wood usually has a high tannin content and could react weirdly with food, especially with acidic foods. There's a chance it may leach into what you're eating. Be careful!

Your fork is trying to identify as chopsticks! 😂 Let it live!

Sounds like a bit of a fork up! Sorry, couldn't resist the pun. On a serious note, don't let this discourage you. Whittling down any type of wood is an art, and it requires a hell lot of patience. You learned a valuable lesson about how much pressure cherry wood can take when getting sanded. My advice, slow down the sanding next time and remember that by rushing, you might ruin all your hard work. Good luck on your next attempt!

Lol, been there man! Went at a DIY skateboard with too much zest and ended up with a splintered mess. Hope ya get another go at that fork...or sticks. That works too. 🤣
