Wooden Kitchen Spoons

That is a beautiful set of spoons. I think that your Mom will be very happy to get these instead of the ones from a store.

I live in New England where birch is very plentiful. I really enjoy working with it.

These are beautiful spoons. Well done.

Good looking set.

How do you hollow them out? I made one but I didn’t hollow it.

Great idea!! I just happen to have some birch that needs to be made into spoons and maybe a bowl or two.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

Dewayne, I used a gouge from my Flexcut carving kit to do the hollowing. I do have a hook knife as well, however, the gouge was faster. My hook knife needs a bit of honing, as it just didn’t cut it lol.

I think if my mom had these I would still have the bruises to show form them.

HA HA

Nice. I’ve made spoons before, but never used a belt sander. How did you use it?

They are fantastic!

Fantastic set of spoons, they are way better than store bought ones. Mom will be happy to use them.
