Kitchen Tools in Wood

This is a Sycamore wood spatula, 13 inches long and almost 2 inches wide. The dark wood is Pear. 

 These "spoons" are 4 inches long, with bowls almost 1.5 inches wide. The wood is Pear. These were turned on the lathe. 

I want to make more of this kind of stuff in the future. Stay tuned for that.
 

Glass Canister

Here we have a 9.5 inch high canister made from a cut off wine bottle. The wood is Pine. The finial is Plum wood. The base is 3.75 inches in diameter. I've another cut off wine bottle for which I will make another of these with a different kind of wood.
 

Small Sycamore Cups

 These are Sycamore cups, roughly 2 inch diameter and almost 2 inches high. Buffed with "True Grit" buffing compound. I like this wood.

Wood Dye Testing

 I got some wood dye and wanted to try it out on some of my turnings. These are 2 inch diameter Ash wood cups. I have 5 colors that can be mixed to make different colors. Works better on some wood than others. 

Ash Wood Box

 This is a 4 inch diameter, 3 inch high Ash wood box with a blue glass knob. That's a knot on the side. One of my neighbors had an Ash tree cut down in their front yard. I got a couple of logs from that, from which I made some recent turnings. This is one of the better ones.

Shallow Ash Bowl

 Here is an 8 inch diameter Ash wood bowl, 1.5 inches high. It has a raised bead around the rim. Buffed with "True Grit" buffing compound. This was turned while green, which is why there is warping.

Ash Wood Bowl 2

This is an 8.5 inch diameter Ash wood bowl, 2.5 inches high. Buffed with "True Grit" buffing compound. No other finish. I used a Sorby texturing tool to make the raised border at the rim. This wood was turned while still a bit green, hence the warping . . . which I like. 

Ash Wood Bowl

 This is a 9 inch diameter Ash wood bowl. 2.5 inches high. Polished with "True Grit" buffing compound. No other finish.

Mahogany Scroll Saw Basket

 This Mahogany scroll saw basket is 4 inches high. Top sides are 7 inches long. Each layer is a little over 3/4 inch thick. Danish Oil finish.

Pear Wood Ash Tray

 This is a 4 inch Pear wood ash tray. Polished with "True Grit" buffing compound. No finish applied. These hold up better than one might expect, being made out of wood.
