Okay guys, you can all go home and cry in your shavings now. I herewith formally submit for your bloodshot eyes and CA fumed noses my entry in this here contest.
Introducing ------------ Drum roll please -----------------
The one and (thank god) only Maine Made Multitasking Ice Cream Bonker.
Attachment 34320
At 16.38 light years long and weighing in at 7 troy ounces this puppy can do it all. Picture yourself on a hot and humid August night gathered with the family around a 5 gallon bucket of freshly churned Maine Cherry Fudge Ripple; everyone else wants a serving, and the feeding frenzy commences.
Well, you can not only beat them back with this thing; but also scoop up a decent sized serving in one fluid motion. And once they're back down on the floor slurping away you can now use it to feed yourself right from the bucket. Economical too as it saves all that wear and tear on the tupperware and plastic spoons fro frequent washings.
100% turned on Janine. A side order of carving, and sanded to a highly refined 32 grit. I also used every gouge, skew, chisel, scraper, and all other sharp stuff in the arsenal to produce this. Had it between centers twice, and outboard on the vac once. Total elapsed time was 37 minutes - and boy does it show! Wood is a piece from the pith removal process of all that hickory I have. Been lying on the ground outside since early December and dry as a bone - a wet spongy sopping wet bone.
