I made this set of serving spoons and pen for my daughter to give to her MIL and FIL for Christmas gifts. They're both cocobolo. The spoons are the ones you can get from Craftsupplies. They aren't very strong and will bend if used for anything more than salad. I'd find some more heavy duty ones if I made more. They're 14" overall, the handles are 9" x 1.25" and I ended up just using a little Briwax on them. The pen is a Craftsupplies Gentleman's fountain tip. It made a real nice pen. It's finished with CA.

Sorry about the poor photos, the tent is temporarily decommissioned.

Nice work, I'm sure they will be appreciated. I want to do one of those fountain pens too.

Curt those are beauties. Pen is fantastic. Well done. I did a set of the serving spoons this year for the kids and handles out of mahogany to match their salad bowl set.
