I guess if I had a lathe with a big enough swing and glued the blank to a face plate and figured out how to turn an oval hollow ... Or I could turn a few domes of the right size and glue on some sand paper. Or .... charlie b |

After your finished, the goblet portion can be a Scoop or a Spoon depending on what you do with it on the band saw. |

Not Too Late - Another Last Minute Present
Senor Dosser:
I am trying to picture how you would cut the goblet portion to have a traditional spoon. The scoop is something that has been made ever sine I can remember, and I have a couple made as Christmas ornaments. But I am thinking of a rod with an oval on the end, mounted center to center, and trued up and centered on the lathe. I can understand and see the goblet easily, and can do the hollowing and finishing etc. However, on a traditional spoon I am seen the tip of the spoon end (not the handle) as being at least as high as the center line of the handle, prefereably higher. If I have drilled a hole in the end (1" maybe?) how will I not have a tip that will be lower than the center line of the handle when I have removed the evidence of the hollowing access hole? I do my spoons with a Dremel and carbide burr and it takes a while. I make bread mixing spoons, pudding spoons, mixing spoons, tasting spoons, and stirring spoons all in a traditional style. I also make mixing spatulas, turners, etc. (If anyone would like to see them I will try to post a link after some pics.) I would LOVE to find a faster way to make spoons than grinding and sanding. I have made so damn many I am sick of them. I await your response... Robert |

I have made so damn many I am sick of them. As before, gouge, scorp or scraper, spokeshave and sandpaper. I carve a couple/three hundred a year. If you want symmetrical, and turned handles, you can use a blocked end and mount it below the centerline of the eventual bowl. (-\-------) I have a bench at carving height at the end of my horse, but as you wouldn't be shaving handles, you could get by with a shaving "pony" in a vise. http://photobucket.com/albums/d160/G...t=7eaa82a0.jpg |
