Here are a few of the spoons and spatulas I’ve been working on as gifts. Mostly cherry, but oak and walnut will be the next run. I’ve tried to shape the handles so they fit the hand but they will all be different. Have about 8 more to complete. finish is just veg oil, brings out the beauty of the grain especially on the walnut.

You can use mineral oil or flaxseed oil. Mineral oil will never dry though and flaxseed oil takes a very long time. I use “Tried and True” original on my spoons. Food contact safe, soaks in well and dries to a tough finish. You can buff it with a soft cloth after it dries to dull luster.

I agree with Ken on the finish, I know Woodcraft and Highland Woodworking here in the States sells a Salad Bowl finish.

10 November 2013 at 9:24 am #21157Nice Job Brian , are any of the alternative oils mentioned by Greg and RL available in the UK
10 November 2013 at 2:24 pm #21171Sorry, I keep forgetting to think globally when I mention a product. This looks to be very similar to the ‘Tried and True” finish that I use…
