Did you ever feel that a spoon just wasn’t enough? OK, that only happens to me. This is one of those times.
It looks pretty good sticking out of a pot of cassoulet, based loosely on this recipe. Thanks, Emeril!
The ring spoon had me on the ropes for a while. Everything that could go wrong, did. At least twice. It’s a combination/variation of things I’ve done before, it just went all goofy this time. If it doesn’t do a good job as a spoon, I’m throwing it at the neighbors cat.
The shovel is 16” x 4”, the spoon is 13” x 2”. Mineral oil on both pieces. American Black Walnut, courtesy of Hurricane Ike, Sept. 2008.

Just had to check the recipe, start with a 6 quart pot, no wonder you got the idea for a shovel!! Like the
way you made it work, and yes it would be great for chili, both the making and/or eating. That ring
spoon is also nice. Thank you for sharing. Do not know if you should follow murch’s advice, you just
might dig up a shop that was starting to grow.
