Project by DAN posted 154 days ago 329 views 0 times favorited 8 comments Add to Favorites Watch

If you read my previous project entry you know the Mendleson’s story and if you read my response to Karson’s comments in that project posting you know that I went back and bought another dozen scoops details. In the bin of scoops were a few matching juicers. Couldn’t resist ….

I batched 5 handles yesterday afternoon and finished them up today… One juicer and 4 scoops. Three are made from 12/4 mahogany shorts about 6 inches long. The other two from 10/4 zebrawood…. link to ebay hardwood seller

Juicer and a matching ice cream scoop are already boxed and ready to ship to my sister-in law in Seattle.

Only used 4 tools … drill press, band saw, belt sander and oscillating spindle sander.

Shapes of the handles came from a small french curve … what ever looked good etc and fit the material.

Very comfortable in the palm of the hand and I bet no one has on like it !!

Sanded to 220 .

Finish is right out of the can Rustolium spray lacquer. Bought from Wallymart… three coats

below is a slide show of today’s work

Very nice Dan. I got some (it looks like 12/4 Cherry in my gloat of the day.) I plan on using some for legs, however some has defects so cutting smaller pieces wouldn’t be a problem. I’ll make up a flat rate box in trade.

These are just too beautiful! I love the ergonomic shapes and the woods are gorgeous!
