Birdseye scoop

[shagnasty]

Wanted to try out a new kit from PSI....

Your scoop is very, very nice. Is it an ice cream scoop or a coffee scoop.

Thats an ice cream scoop in stabilized and dyed birdseye with ebony. The kit is not that great from PSI....I dunno that I would buy it again. Larry

Very nice.
Beautiful piece of birdseye .

What don't you like about the PSI scoop . ? It looks quite nice .
I have made lots of scoops by using the chrome plated hardware part from the plastic handled ones from the dollar store . They are good fast sellers for seven or eight dollars but I have thought of trying some of the better hardware like you have shown to test the market to see if I can sell a few upgrade ones like yours. .
Do you have a link to the PSI one (to save me and others from doing a search)

Heres the link... http://www.pennstateind.com/store/PKISCOOP.html

I dont care for the orange peel finish on the inside of the scoop and its just not as heavy and nice as the ones Rockler sells. They're basically around the same price, so like I said, I might just stick with the Rockler version and throw in some of my own hardware if I want some variety.

Your mileage may vary, but thats what I found. Thanks for the comments....... You guys should check out that new pizza cutter rockler has......seriously heavy duty.

i buy ice cream scoops for $1.99 at wal-mart. remove the plastic handle (wiggle, twist and pull). turn a wood handle and epoxy it together.

Bob post a pic so we can what they're like....Thanks LArry

I am also anxious to see the ones from WalMart and I will also check there next time I am in the city.
Although these ones from the dollar store don't look near as nice as the ten dollar ones from PSI etc , they do sell real good and it is practically all profit .
I will be making more for the fall sales because I am out of them again.

Just a guess Larry, but I believe the orange peel effect is to make it easier to remove the ice cream. Otherwise it has the same effect as getting stuck in the mud with rubber boots on your feet....

Very cool Bob.....nice job. Dave, I thought the same thing, but then I thought maybe the outside would match? Or the Rockler version would match? Guess Im being too picky or something, but it just seems like it didn't get polished.

Oh well.....no biggy. Theyre still fun to make.
