Title: Help with making wooden spoon...
Post by: rich024 on December 29, 2014, 09:39:09 pm

Hi All,
  Has anyone made a wooden kitchen spoon?  If so, what thickness material did you use and how did you create the "spoon" dip?
Thanks

I have made quite a few.  I cut the profiles on a bandsaw (scrollsaw would do fine but bandsaw faster), then use an electric die grinder with a bit that is round and covered in  little spikes to carve out the scoop.  Before I got the bit I used various drill bits on the drill press and then shaped it with sandpaper.  Most of the shaping is done on a stationery belt sander because it is effective.  Like most things there are many approaches depending on what tools you have at hand.

I use a scorp and lots of sanding.
