These are beautiful!

Have you considered doing a blog or “how-to” on making these?

I like seeing utilitarian projects. these are spiffy

Terrific spoons!

-- Can't never could do anything, to try is to advance.

Nice work. Spoons aren’t as easy to make as they might look.

Good idea Lew, I’ll try to put all the steps on paper concisely and see if I can do a brief blog that makes sense.

These are beautiful, well done. I have just had a go at making a few food utensils with moderate sucess. Was just wondering what is a good food grade oil to use on them initially.

I just use pure tung oil – not the stuff mixed with solvents and such, just pure. It takes a number of coats to build up a nice finish, but they’re small so it doesn’t take long to do.

MrDan ~ That Buckthorn is a great looking spoon… well made and you definitely optimized the grain on that one. I was just wondering if you know of/or have any spoons in Norman Stevens’ collection. If you don’t know… he is putting together the largest collection of 9” spoons and I believe is still looking to add any ‘spoon-makers’. You can do a google search under Norman Stevens spoons and easily find a link. Good work.
