Carving tips
A ladle wants a curved blank: the crank should follow the grain from bowl to handle. If you don't have a crook, reduce the crank so the bowl stays within a straight board.
Cut out the top view and trace it on the blank with the grain running along the spoon, as the grain arrow shows. Saw the outline, then draw the side view on the side of the blank for the depth and crank, and carve away everything outside the lines. Read more in How it works.
