Was wanting to make a few kitchen spoons for the wife's baking hobby. I was going to turn the handle then use a spoon gouge to carve the bowl of the spoon. Anyone out there made some this way and if so what tools do YOU use.

I turn spoons and spatulas on the lathe to shape the handles with some beads or coves. The spoons I use a Kutzall spoon carver in an air grinder then finish them off with hand sanding. Hope this help you with yours.

I have made a few like this, I use a bent knife to carve out the bowl.

I use the same curved knife as Mike but mine haven't turned out nearly as nice. Those are some beauties!
