Tasting spoon carving template
A cook's tasting spoon with a small, shallow bowl on a long, slender handle, so you can taste from a hot pot without getting your fingers near the steam.

Carving tips
Because the bowl is small, most of the work is in the long handle. Keep the neck a little thicker than it looks like it needs to be: it's the thinnest point of a long lever.
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.
