    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.

    Nice work Brian.
    I’m not sure about Vegetable oil though buddy, this is what I found. It has the tendency to go rancid after a while and can cause a foul odour. This oil also usually attracts bacteria and can be harmful.

    Good looking utensils. They will make great gifts. I’ll second the opinion on using vegetable oil. 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.

    Those look really nice, great job. I just bought a 1″ #7 used Pheil ( sp ) bent gouge pretty reasonably but need to sharpen and hone.

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

    Have you tried Terra Nova Naturoil? Fantastic stuff, totally odourless and non-toxic. I use it on my cutting boards all the time.

    Sorry, 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…
