Where I started in wood

[Seer]

LOML bought me a scrollsaw at a yard sale and I used it to make quite a few things and ended up one day cutting out blanks for spoons, after that it went to pens and I lost touch with the spoons I was making and last weekend I found some that I had cut 2 yrs ago and finshed them just to do something different for a change again. I used my lathe to try and turn the handles on 2 of them and I think they came out good on the 2 long handle ones, the shorter one I used a belt sander and hand palm sander to smooth them out and to also round the backsides of the the 2 others and also the scrapers. They were all soaked in mineral oil laying in the sun. The bowls on the spoons were carved out using a dremel with the long attachment, not perfect but then if you want perfect by the mass produced ones from overseas I feel.

Those look pretty cool, I may have a go at them some day.

Jerry, those look very good, I wonder what's the last one used for?

Tha last one is a small scraper to help roll food over off the bottom of the pan. Works great for ground beef and the like.

Those look great, I've been wanting to try and make some spoons etc.

What type of wood works best for making these?

The first,second and last two look like what teachers use to you in my day. By the way good job.

How much trouble do you think I would get in if I made one and put it on the wall behind my desk? I could just say that it was a spatula and that I wanted to show off some of my woodworking...

Much better than my humble beginnings in woodworking.... nailed two 2x4's together to make an airplane (didn't fly far but construction time was less than a minute).


My mom wants me to make some similar to the first pic. An 80 year old woodworker made some and she got a hold of them, he passed away a while back and she wants me to make them now.

Those first ones all have a small curve to them as well they are not a flat piece just cut in that shape I cut them on the bandsaw and then sanded them to save wear and tear on my sander.. Rob I can email you my template if you want.
