Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I make a wooden spoon out of basswood. I first turned it on the lathe and then used hand tools to carve and shape the rest of it.
I first drew half of the spoon on my blank. I then cut it on the bandsaw. I used the cut off part as a template to draw the other half.
I then used a roughing gouge and a bowl gouge to shape the piece as much as I could on the lathe.
I used my divider to mark equal distances. I then used a skew chisel and my wire burning tool to mark the handle a little bit.
To shape the rest of the spoon I used a spoke shave and files. It is important to follow the grain in order to get clean cuts with the spokeshave.
To hollow the spoon I used a hook carving knife. I cleaned the knife marks with a goose shaped cabinet scraper.
I sanded from 100 to 400grit and finished my spoon with mineral oil.
And my spoon was ready.
But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
