Spoons

A bif hearty WELCOME to LJ, terry. You really put some elbow grease into your beautiful spoons! I did some “sporks” a while back . . . they’d probably play well together! LOL! Well done, terry!

Nice. I like the contrasting timber.

I like the look and size of these , and it sounds like the feel would be great. Looks like you have caught the spoon addiction also. The lamination looks good.

KUTZALL. You have got to try the 1” KUTZALL burr in drill press. Hold blank in hand and lean into it and can cut bowl in 10 min. Finish with fine one and no bandaids. The chainsaw attachment is very course and 2”. 1” course and then fine get to 80 grit sandpaper quick.

I love your spoons, they have beautiful grain designs. I can understand your reference to band-aids, I got tired of using them to sand so I bought some finger tape and it works much better. It cost $2.50 a roll.

Good looking and colorful spoons, Terry. I like the way the contrasting woods almost make a sort of finial at the handle end. ...especially on that first one. Also, I had to look up ‘chakte viga’ as I’ve never heard of it. The handle shape on the Osage spoon looks really comfortable. Great job on the spoons… !

-- I just got done cutting three boards and all four of them were too short. (true story)

Thanks for the kind comments, and ideas!

PhilIzoel: I definitely want to try a few of those kutzall toys…on my wish list!

Spoontaneous: Thanks, I’ve been a fan of your spoons for a while! That mexican orange wood you had to look up is very nice to work…kinda soft…but a killer luster when finished! Don’t let the spoon I posted serve as a fair example of the wood…

...wish I could find another barn with Am Chestnut in it…

Wow, a chainsaw to make a spoon! I’ve thought about it but only jokingly. Just goes to show that there are a 101 ways to make a spoon. Nice job. I love the osage orange.

Man those are some nicely carved spoons and the grain is beautiful!!They look like they fit a hand just perfectly. Very nice job and thanks for sharing .I like the way they sit flat, too!!!!!!

May I borrow your design??....................Jim

I would love to hold one of these myself and you have used a lot of creativity in your gluing up the stock. The color combinations are very stunning.

Love the osage orange spoon.
Are the laminated spoons decorative or functional or both?
