Horn Spoon.

[Goatboy]

Hi All,

Seeing some of the lovely spoons that some of you have been making has set me wondering (dangerous that). Does anyone here make horn spoons? Or is there a tutorial you could point me to-wards.

As a kid I had a liking for boiled eggs and soldiers ( the bready kind), and I had a wonderful little horn egg spoon with a rudimentary whistle carved into the tip of the handle ( for ordering more toast ).

I lost it in a move a number of years back and have a hankering for a new one, anybody help?

Cheer

I got some cow horn of tengu in a trade a while back. I might have a go when I've got some time. If theyre succesful do you want one?

Alpha_centaur,

Have made a few horm things but only by carving, if you want to have a go at making some spoons I'd LOVE to buy one from you. Have a go and contact me and I'll arrange payment no probs.

I love the texture of eating soft boiled egg from a silky horn spoon, it goes together like mince and tatties, eggs benedict, prawn cocktail, eating with bamboo chopsticks... I could go on, but lets just say that the thought of a soft boiled goose egg, some fresh milled pepper and some fresh baked bread turned into hot buttered toasty soldiers eaten with a horn spoon is one of my ideas of heaven.

Please have a go and let me know... even if it's wonky, which I doubt I'll buy one.

I'm going to. I'm pretty sure it'll be wonky

The only question is when I'll get around to it

No worries,

I've done without it for a fair few years now, just have a hankering for one and would be most glad for one.

Just let me know when you're ready.

Cheers for having a go.

Cheers Robin,

Have ordered a catalogue to have a look-see.

Will still see what Alpha can make as I'd like to keep the cash within our little circle of skilled folk.

Thanks to you both.

Colin.
