Popular Post rafairchild2 Posted July 26, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Here is a piece I just finished. More sanding to shape than carving, just playing with different techniques. The only carving was the bowl. I included a couple of photos of the slab of 3/4" dark walnut I cut it out from. You can also see the amount of shaping and sanding I did in the last image. heppnerguy, Greatgrandpawrichard, ChelCass and 18 others 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preprius Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Nicely done. I have not explored spoons yet. You make it look too nice not to try for myself. I might do a bowl and a spoon might be good for dry stuff like sugar or small candy. Maybe the peppers for pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarieC Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Wonderful Spoon! You have inspired me...I think I am going to make one with a really long handle so when I make my raspberry, apricot or peach jam the steam won't burn my hands. I will try to make mine fancy like yours. Excellent spoon. danny and heppnerguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 your spoon sure came out well. It would be fun to take it out of the drawer and use it when you have guests and see the look on their faces when they look at your spoon for the first time and wonder where you got such a fancy wooden spoon Dick heppnerguy danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafairchild2 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Since I still had a bit of the walnut slab left, I made another (smaller) version of the spoon as there wasn't enough material for a full-size one. I made the "bowl" more modern and deeper than the primitive bowl. Here is an image comparing the two. Actually, it was quite quick to make and finish as I used the flex wheel sander to shape the handle and the back of the bowl. I decided to use my rotary tool and Kutzall bit to carve out the bowl. Finished with raw linseed oil. Scrappile, MarieC and danny 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafairchild2 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) BTW, this was my other spoon I finished with the above, made of Black Limba. Did all the carving by hand on this one. This too was finished in raw Linseed oil.

rdatelle Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 They came out great. What did you use to hollow out the spoon part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carved the larger spoon and the one with hearts with gouges by hand. For the smaller walnut spoon, I used a Kutzall burr on my rotary tool. I have been experimenting with different techniques with different types of wood. danny and heppnerguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
