Made Julia a set of walnut measuring spoons for her birthday
this year. I carved it out of air dried wood all at the bench... totally different
than the “green” spoon carving craze.
I like my spoons sanded smooth so to sand
the inside of the bowl I came up with these wooden “knobs” chucked into my
drill. It worked awesome. I calibrated the bowl volumes by transferring salt from my shop measuring spoons. Finish is flax oil. Box is spruce. The pictures should
be pretty self-explanatory.
Nice! Something else to add to the round tuit list. Thanks! I think :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat project. I love the box with the glue block posts. Simple and elegant.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work Joshua, I am very impressed with the craftsmanship in them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work as always.
ReplyDeleteThe chucked knobs idea is brilliant for this work (I did have to re-check what blog this was in my RSS reader when I saw a cordless drill though)
I believe the spoon craze is illustrating to me just how many different spoons we interact with (often with little thought) each day.
Thanks, Jeremy. I'm only a "hand tool only" guy when it comes to building period reproductions. I do own a modest assortment of power tools that came in handy for a particular task at one time or another. I'm never going to sell my Bosch router, etc. I just don't use it to build furniture.
DeleteOh, and I LOVE this drill! I use it everyday!

ReplyDeletelovely spoons! this wood is gorgeous! flax oil = raw linseed oil?
ReplyDeleteYep... raw linseed oil.
DeleteVery nice work, I am sure she will love them. I just have to keep this page hidden from my wife :)
ReplyDeleteHi Joshua,
ReplyDeleteI like these spoons. They look very - delicate.
Well done.
