Turned Spoons





Turned Spoons – Here I’ve had a go at a turned spoon in Beech.

First I turned a juggling club shape on my wood lathe, then I cut it into 2 identical pieces. After that I hollowed out the bowel as normal and carved/rounded the handle.

Hammer Time

I was asked a favour by a friend to make a hammer for a  communion bell. Always ready for a craft challenge I had a go. Here is the result which I was rather pleased with and so were they. I cut a thread on the handle and in the head, so the two bits screw together.
