treeslayer Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Looks great Dave, I’ve been wanting to make some spoons using a Kutzall bit, what one did you use ? Coarse, fine ? And what wood did you use ? Looks like cherry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 @treeslayerI used the coarse one Dave the wood I used was Ash just a chunk of fire wood. It was fun a lot of hand sanding I did use my belt sanding attachment for my Ridgid oscillating spindle sander on the handle and bottom of the bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark J Posted April 14, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 @Dave H, did you use the round bit to do both the inside and outside of the spoon? @treeslayer, in my limited experience the difference between coarse and fine burrs isn't so much the smoothness of the finish, but how fast the burr cuts. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dave H Posted April 14, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 @Mark J No mark I formed the the spoon getting the general shape on the bandsaw cutting out to the drawn line on the blank in 2 dimensions cut out one dimension tape the off cuts back on to the blank, then cut out the 2nd dimension. I refined the shape with rasps, files, belt sanding attachment on my oscillating spindle sander, and a bunch of hand sanding. Then I dug out the bowl with Kutzall coarse ball bit on my drill press holding the spoon and, pressing the spoon into the ball bit. Then a bunch of hand sanding to the final project. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how I was going to make my utensils and I am glad to see it worked. I was just going to try some spatulas and flippers first before I did more of a spoon shape. I guess if I get there…some days I think I just like planning and prepping projects than actually doing them. ;-). If I not careful I get way too many going at the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
