Here's a spoon I just completed. Wood is basswood and finish is garnet shellac and wax. Let me know what you think!
Hi Ed ,
That is a great project. How did you do the bowl part in the oval shape and get it so smooth? Used a bent back gouge. It dished it out nicely, then a LOT of sanding! It reminds me of the "Love spoon" tradition from the British Isles, or was that Austria. I think the love spoon traditionally came from Ireland.
Are there others planned? You should know by now that my plans are whatever strikes my fancy (unless someone else is paying!
Are your kids grown? since paddles are politically incorrect The only kids we have are four legged and furry! LOML would kill me if I swung anything at them!
Thanks for the photo, how big is it, and is it a hang it or use it piece? It's about 10" long.

Excellent work, Ed. That's definitely a piece to be proud of.
Just impressive! Do you have any pics of the process that you could post?
Thanks Tod, Glad to see you posting some more! I hope things are starting to settle down for you.nice spoon ed!
Neat post on the Viking spoon! Are you going to make one?
. I'm thinking maybe better to be born with an Ed Nelson spoon in your mouth than a silver spoon.
