Chinese spoons

Today, I made a smallish (or biggish?) discovery.
I will talk more about that later.

It rained on and off today, so I spent all of my time
working on Chinese spoons etc. Caoting continued,
no photo of that.

Below, you see a group of coating ready Chinese spoons.
I never expected that I would be able to bring them
all to this stage today.



All this is thanks to the discovery, perhaps long
overdue... Anyway, that meant that I could work on
these cornflake spoons as well.



Here below, I even had time to make one of them coating ready.



However, all this is actually dwarfed by today's discovery.
I will talk about it with the following schematics.



As with anything else it is not that time comsuming
to get one piece of my work coating ready. However,
if you have more than 10, say, your work slows down.

With concave surfaces, I have always used two abrasive flappers
as shown as A and B above. Net result of these sanding
operations is that, as shown with the last schematic,

there are light scurrs across the grain, which are shown
in red against the background of grain direction (brown).

It is not that difficult and time consuming to remove these
light scurrs by hand sanding. Natutrally, at this stage of
hand sanding you need to attend to the rest of the piece.

So, I guess that each takes up 7, or 8 minutes, including
peripherals and the rear convex surface, plus the stem
end.

However, 70% of that time is actually taken up
by concave sanding by hand. You are almost led to
this hand sanding procedure, after two sessions

of machine sanding. After all, before then the
concave surface would look wildly rough. So, once
machine sanding is done you think naively that

the rest can be managed by hand... Well, yes, but...
no...

Today's discovery is the schematic C. It is a snading bit,
but not a flapper. It is solid like sponge, at the
grain rating of 180. Initially, I was skeptical.

However, it does a wonder! Those red scurrs can be removed
in, I should imagne, 30 seconds!

It makes me think, and it really does that all of my
operation is built up on these small dayily discoveries.

I have come a long way... and I am almost like
a real artisan, am I not? How long has all this taken?
4 years? Yes, something like that...

Here I am, surrounded by an assortment of machines
and sanding bits and jigs I have made I am able to
produce a range of pieces...

Is it not an achievement? Where do I go from here...?
