Those look way better than the plastic set we have in our kitchen. The handle shape and the bowl thickness come together with the wood selection to make these particularly attractive.

Very cool idea, and you did a nice job on them!

Jim did you cut these on a band saw and then sand to dimension? Would like to see the jig you referenced. Nice work on these.

Thanks for all the comments. .Bill, yes I cut the shape on the bandsaw. the more accurate the cut, the less sanding needed. The scoop is cut first. I used a 1 -1/4 dish bit in router for the scoops. The template is just 1/4 plywood with a hole for the guide bearing. No sanding needed on insides.

-- J.C.Sellers, Norcross, Ga. Just cut it right the first time. The best carpenters make the fewest chips.

Jim thanks for the explanation. I thought you may have used a Forstner bit for the bowl cut, but you use a template with a router for that. So the outside profile is simply cut on the BS and then finish sanded? I see you remove material where the handle is, prior to profiling.
