Tom and I (Tombear) were talking earlier about bannock spades.
These are basically heavy duty spatula/fishslice type tools used to turn scones, bannocks, and oatcakes baking on the girdle or bakestone.
They're not very big, apparantly made from wrought iron, and seem to be very useful implements.
We're curious....how hard would it be to make one of these ? could someone give us a ballpark figure for one ? or a trade value ?
We only have links to illustrations for you to go on, but the last one has sizes.
Basically think thickish pallette knife. The edges are sort of rounded down at the front so it slips under the bannock.
