A coffee scoop
« on: August 18, 2015, 01:37:42 PM »
Hi again

Yet another first for me. Last week I joined the South Downs Wood Turners club and at my first meeting I saw one of these being turned so thought I'd have a go.

A coffee scoop with a 5" handle turned from Oak.

It doesn't matter how perfect it looks, there's always room for improvement.

Likewise, I've never tried this. Is it made for one piece of wood?
A very nice piece,Mel done.

The handle could have been a little more elegant but it is really a utility piece made to be used so that does not really matter.

Nice work for a first go at something new.

Steve well done on turning a scoop. The only thing I can see wrong is the knob on the end of the handle could have been a better shape but I like it.

Steve, nothing wrong there for a 1st .. elegant and functional, will serve it's purpose well .. you've got to use it  ...   ;) ..

It's not just to make the scoop, but the jig as well and mirroring the bowl form for thickness.
