Woodturning Third Scoop Style Two Piece Eccentric Ladle

Ladle Style Scoop

This post is best viewed right here on this page. But, in case of viewing difficulty, it is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.

This is my third project in my scoop series. In this case, I wanted a ladle with a tall handle. But with a ladle, how do I attach the handle to the bowl?

I pulled out my off-center chuck to solve this problem. Please see my video for more details.

The ladle bowl is hollowed off-center. Then it is returned to the primary spindle access for the exterior. This leaves a wide area on one side that is perfect for the handle attachment.

Then, turn a handle much like a finial.

The bowl is pear; the handle is walnut. Both are finished with shellac. The bowl is just under two inches diameter. Overall, the scoop is about six inches long.

Enjoy.

    I sincerely suggest that you modify/improve the background of your interesting weekly ideas/posts.
    Anything would be an improvement over unpainted and unfinished particle board.

    Respectively, Norm K.

      If you look more closely, the OSB wall is painted white.
      However, the tool racks mounted on the wall are not painted.
      You are welcome to come and paint them for me. But right now I am too busy turning.
