Toaster Tongs No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

I was inspired by the usefulness of Karson's Toaster Tongs, so I had to make some for myself.

Purpleheart, African Blackwood, Padauk, and Mahogany, with maple bridges. 2 light coats of Danish oil.

Love the contrast on the Padauk ones, so I think those go in my kitchen! The others will be gifts.

Karson,

I took a long 1×1” strip of maple and tapered the sides, then just trimmed off blocks of it as needed with a stop block on the xcut sled. I’m sure you could turn these out in quick batches that way.
