Chopping Board & Coffee Spoon

[Halfdevil333]

Made these a wee while back.

The spoon is oak and the board is beech even though i have burned oak leaves into the chopping board.
I'm quite happy the way things turned out. I'm going to try a bowl next as my next door neighbour has asked me to take down her cherry treee for her

Anyway cheers for looking and all the best for the Festive Season & the New Year when it comes.

how did you get the oakleaf design in?? looks superb btw!

 

[Halfdevil333]

I traced it from a Ray Mears book then i went over the back of the tracing with a soft black pencil. I placed it on the board and redrew (If thats a word) round the original tracing thus transfering the outline onto the board. I then very carefully went round the pencil mark with a hot soldering iron. Quite tricky but i done a few test pieces first.

Cheers

Nice work there

Lovely job, both really useful pieces.

That's lovely work there ... and good luck with the bowl - I always find cherry is a sod for twisting and cracking so work quickly and let it dry slowly!

How did you do the spoon, with a crooked knife?

 

[Halfdevil333]

Yeah sure did mate.Just a Frost crook knife (10 Quid). I surprised myself as i usually take ages doing one of these but this one took me only four hours from start to finish. To be honest its my best so far...

Cheers
