Spoons at long last!

I want to make spoons. In fact, historically speaking this blog of mine started around spoon making.

I made my last spoons two years ago. Can I still make them? My last spoons were fully fledged spoons. It was a little tricky and dangerous because I was determined to get the lateral profile right.

By "proper lateral profile" I mean an "S". I remember using my band saw to cut the S shape. I do not want to repeat that because it is dangerous. I have a better idea.

However, for my renewed spoon making session I want to take it easy. Take a look at the following photo.



This is an initiation set for infants. As such neither of these have proper lateral profile and it is a lot easier to make them. This particular spoon was quickly made yesterday in an attempt to get both lateral and top profiles right.

I am happy with this. I want to make lots of these rather flat "infant" spoons, for a start, in order to make myself ready for fully fledged spoons.

Anyway, these below are the starting materials.



Blocks of beech with constant thickness. I then pencil-mark top profiles using a profile jig, like below.



Cut by the band saw the block looks like below.
