Default Utensils
Hello all it's been a considerable time since I've visited your web site so I'll be a new member for now. The subject I would be looking at is the carving or making of wooden spoons etc. Looking for the best tools and approach to the subject. I do have the usual carving chisels etc but don't have a band saw to cut the wood. Only a scrollsaw and a table saw. Can anyone help?

Rip the blanks down with the table saw. Get a coping saw to cut them down close to your pattern size and carve from there.

nice carvings Breezly and particularly the penguins. Thanks for leading me to other discussions and information Mitchell. It appears these utensils don't have to be specific but that they just do the job. I'll see how I get on and thanks to you both for your contributions.

Hello again Mitchell, I've just been to your web site and I think your carvings are an absolute delight. The patience that must have been practiced in these carvings has to say it all.

Welcome to the forum and as much, welcome to the WCI family. Mitchell is right! Rip down as close to a roughout as possible, then use a coping saw, or a fret saw to do the final cut out, then you go from there...... Good Luck!

Hello Lazycarver now that sound like the simplest way to start. Isn't amazing how, as a novice, we look for the most dificult ways first. I've just looked at your carvings and the certainly give me inspiration to try to expand my hobby.
So thanks for that and good luck to you and all woodcarvers.

I noticed you said you have a scroll saw and a table saw. All you need now are the hand tools to shape the spoons or whatever you want to carve. Determine what thickness you want for the bowl of the spoon, rip it on the table saw, cut the outline on the scroll saw, carve the details, finish with stain or choice of finish and with any luck you'll have a decorative/utility spoon.\
