I saw these scoops by Eli Avisera at the Portland AAW symposium. I did not attend his demonstration – Actually, I’m not sure he demonstrated these. However, I was intrigued and felt that I had to make a set. I’m not sure how he turned his but here is how I turn them.

The scoop is turned using three parallel axes, 1/8″ apart. The axes must be parallel to have enought straight space for the turned blank to be sawn in half.

The cleanup, however, is tedious. I used a round rotary burr to hollow out the bowl. Then hand sanded the bowl smooth.

The scoops are 1.5 inches by 5 inches long, finished with a utility mix of mineral oil and beeswax.

Enjoy.
