    Default Cooking spoon

    Carved my first cooking spoon for my mom. Turned out pretty well.

    That's pretty nifty. Is the neck too skinny? Might it break? Now wood-burn the handle and make it really cool.

    Thanks, the neck is skinny but kind of thick. I got a little carried away with the knife trying to get it straight and even on both sides.

    looks good. I would never make my mom a wooden spoon. That was her preferred tool of discipline growing up! I still hide whenever I see her walk towards the drawer she keeps them in!

    Pete, it's poplar. I had to get the softest I could find. I have issues with my hands.
    Nater, my sister and I always make jokes about getting wooped with a wooden spoon.

    Good choice of wood for that project. A gouge and a rasp are useful tools for that kind of work. A variety of sandpaper of different grit sizes, too.

    Nice, have been working on 2 for a little while but every time I try to sit down and work on them some one finds something else for me to do. But again really nice spoon.

    Here are a couple more I made. These I used a belt sander and angle grinder.

    They keep getting better. Some fine work. The two on the right look to be made of oak? Bet that was fun.
