You could use whatever wood you want but typically hardwoods are best for spoons. Draw the Outline of Your Spoon On the piece of wood you are using draw the outline of the spoon you want to carve. In this training course we will teach you how to make the spoon.
On the top of the piece of wood draw how you want to spoon to be shaped from a top view. It was in their cutoff bin and priced right. In some cases the piece of wood itself may well dictate the shape of the spoon see the curved bone spoon box out below with its defined arc.
Cut out the outline of the spoon. If you do not have an oscillating sander you can use an orbital palm sander being careful to move it constantly so that your finish is smooth. Deep enough that a spoon could rest comfortably on top.
Put them diagonally to the spoon and tie them tightly with threads. Start by drawing the first pattern on the wood along one edge. A small spoon on the other hand offers better proportions for a child.
A lot of pressure is put on the handle while you carve the center and outer edges of the spoon so you need to keep the handle as sturdy and strong. Use sweeping motions away from your body. Once you have the inside roughly carved out use a pencil to draw the shape you want on the side of the spoon to the outer edge and back.
