Fun with Sandpaper

The weather's been crazy-hot, so I've been whittling in cherry wood, a fabulous thing to do on a hot day. The spoon is for ice cream (probably inspired by the hot weather.) This may force me to buy some so I can give the spoon a try.

The tea scoop is thinner and more delicate than the one I did for thesis (you can see the thesis scoop at the top of the blog, under the title.) It'll be good combined with a smaller tea caddy or bowl, or for use in springtime.


I'm happy I managed to get a wicked-subtle curve on the new scoop. It also rests well when flat on a tea caddy, something you don't appreciate until your badly-balanced scoop falls on the floor while you're doing tea.
