{MADE}:: Wooden Spoon

This little project is still in the works but I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the lastest thing I've been working on. I mentioned in my last MADE post that a friend and I were going to make 5 things last week. Well that didn't happen and here's why... we jumped the gun and enrolled in a woodworking course. It is a really short community education class (6 weeks/ 1 day a week) but we are ambitious and hope to make a spectacular final product. During our first class we introduced ourselves and had to take a safety test regarding all of the equipment. We were also given small chunks of wood to re-orient ourselves with some of the machinery. Here is what I started to make...

The instructor had some examples of pieces he made in the past and I really enjoyed the ergonomics of one of his pieces. Here is a close-up view of the handle grooves.

... and another view...

Now I still have a lot of sanding and shaping to do but you can get the general gist of it.
