I have been carving spoons from some chunks of birch I got from my son. In the past I roughed out the profile with a draw knife – creating a great pile of shavings and one spoon. With the 14” band saw I recently purchased, I was able to rough out my first spoon shape with pleasing curves. The waste piece from the top looked too large to waste, so I carved a second, slightly flatter spoon from it. Finally, the waste piece from under the first handle’s curve provided the basis for a small spoon. Anyway, I like this trio of spoons, and appreciate getting more from the wood at hand.

Very nice set of spoons. They should be kept together as they all came from the same piece.
Thanks for sharing!

Very nice work I just visited a crafts center in Berea KY and your work rates right with all their great projects. Their spoons were selling for $25.00 each, a lot for a spoon but a bargain for a work of art.

Sounds like you got this figured out. Like the large ladle type spoon.

Beautiful work and nearly no waste – even better. Well done.

Nice spoons. I’ve been carving a few lately and enjoy doing it, but can’t seem to get the lines right so they flow like these ones do.

Very nice. Birch. They really look very good. I bought a couple recently in Korea from a fella who uses a similar technique; brought them home hoping to duplicate them someday. I can’t imagine them being as good as these you’ve done.
