Nice work - are you getting new tools?
FWIW - Phil Irons in his wood turning book shows another method of turning spoons I am relucant to go into to it - copyright laws and such - and Irons website is not responding. Here is the link to his book - http://www.woodworking.org/WC/GArchi...raightrev.htmlLeave a comment:

I'll see if I can do up a little tutorial on them... Ken is going to be a tough act to follow though
I hollow them with my new Dremel 400XPR using the flex shaft and a small round carbide carving bit (it's all I had... going to woodcraft today for a different bit).
I sand them to 600 then apply a very liberal coat of Kerf's wood cream.... let them sit for about an hour, wipe off, sand with 600 again and add another coat. Let stand for 10 to 20 minutes then buff with a terry cloth. This process has been working well with the wood spatulas and such I've been doing.Leave a comment:

Spoons
My wife has her own recipe for instant hot chocolate and makes up a huge batch of it to give away for Christmas each year. She found some really decorative jars this year and wanted to add a teaspoon for scooping. I couldn't let her just buy cheapy plastic ones... oohhh nnooo... had to make some comment like "hey, I'll bet I could turn some really cute spoons"... here are the first four... got about 8 more to go
These are approx 5" long and each has been "load tested" to ensure they hold a teaspoon. These are pine from an old side board to a water bed... reduce, reuse, recycle!
