The tutorial on turning spoons over at Woodturning Online by Bill Johnson shows mounting the blank offcenter so a full spoon bowl and handle can be created. Between the pictures and the description it seems he mounts both ends slightly off the center of the piece...has anybody here used this method before? Wouldn't this make for a very unstable blank?

Great looking spoon! Did you turn this from a raw block of wood or did you trim it to shape first?

I roughed (very rough) the pattern in on the bandsaw from a piece of 3/4 red oak then turned it so I got the profile I wanted in the cupped end.
