Is this in Raffan's "Turning Projects"?

I don't know. I don't have the book. I saw this demonstrated by Eli Avisera
last Sunday. He make a couple small ones with the bowl about the size of
your thumb.

As an alternative, you could turn the scoop the way Ruth Niles does. She
makes the handle and scoop separately and then glues them together. Ruth
demonstrated this technique for the Lehigh Valley Woodturners a couple years
ago. Pictures of this demo can be found at

Hope this helps,
