So, to stave off boredom and keep myself awake, I decided I was going to carve out a snuff spoon for myself. I headed down to the beach, and started looking at drift wood, and found I piece I thought would be suitable. Eventually, I was left with a stump too small to use because it kept snapping/splitting when I went to carve out the bowl of the spoon. Eventually, I gave up and went at another stick, with a bit more success. The result was slightly shorter than I intended, and the handle is a little split at the end, but it actually works okay. It might be a bit short, but it looks like it could actually reach down to the bottom of a medium tin of F&T, which is kind of why I wanted a spoon to begin with.
A little bit sticks to it, since I have no sandpaper and couldn't smooth the bowl out properly, but a bit of a sniff solves the problem. I now have two large blisters on my left thumb and index finger as a reward for my poor knife skills, but I'm actually pretty happy, as ugly as this thing is. Any one else try making their own snuff accessories?

i use a big red straw from Sonic. holding the straw horizontally, i cut off about an inch worth of the top half of the straw. leaving a 1/2 of the cylinder intact. looks pretty shady, but works liek a charm. took a woping 1 minute to construct with my trusty pocket knife.
