Carving tips
A nice project once you've made a few eating spoons. The long handle shows off the grain, so choose a clear, straight piece of wood without knots.
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.
