Ice cream handle idea.
I’ve been commissioned by my wife to turn a ice cream handle for a ice cream scoop kit.
Two problems first I can’t wriggle my way out of saying I can’t do it.
That would result in either violence towards me or play zone sold off for $3.47 on eBay.
Second problem and the more serious one, I can’t find any decent pics on google that we like.
There fairly plan and ordinary looking.
We generally like stuff that’s is a bit more ornate something like you would have found in a Victoria ice cream shop would be fantastic.
I’m also aware tho ,that it does have to function and be comfortable in the hand.
Anyone with any fancy handles kicking around in the kitchen.
Or maybe even on a tool or something.
Cheers Matt,

I'm from the UK. Oneof your Professional turners did a demo at our club and one of the things he producedwas this letter opener. Maybe you can scale up the thickness a little.

Matt
These are handles (bottom of post) intended for Japanese kitchen knives. With epoxy glue the are not hard to make. May give you some ideas.
If you skim through this thread you can see several combinations:

I reckon you can't go past a replica Berg chisel handle, complete with hoops & decal.
Then, when the #$%&! freezer sets the ice-cream harder than a politician's heart, you can break out the wooden mallet...

Matt. I prefer a more classic look and feel and allow the timber to be the subject of interest.

Thank gentleman,
Paul, I couldn’t up load the thread for some reason.
But there similar to what the pen tuners do.
So you have given me some food for thought.
Skew not sure I would be aloud to keep a chisel in kitchen but I’m definitely with you on ice cream turning to ice lol.
Pat there very nicely done, I also do like the timber to be centre of attraction,but just with a hint of few curves here or there [emoji6].
Cheers Matt

Matt, the place for ice cream, is Iceland.
Trust me when I say their ice cream and yoghurt (skyr) is just astounding.

Erpsstaðir uses its own organic skyr -- possibly the most Icelandic of dairy products -- and coats it with luxurious white chocolate to create a delightful treat. To up the cute factor, the whole thing is shaped like a cow udder and packaged beautifully in colourful wrapping.

For a wide range of larger resin blanks try Woodturningz.
I suggest that you do not show Sally as she will fall in love with a colour choice and then you will be forced to purchase that one and a few of their pen blanks to make the shipping worthwhile . . . hint, hintPat

Here's a photo of a multi axis ice cream scoop handle I made. It's triangular and very nice to use

Well this turned out, pun intended excalty the opposite of my grand ideas for being eccentric.
After considerable discussion with the client.
A couple of test runs in pine, with comments like na take that off, lengthy that, thin that down.
We ended up with this [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849].
Poor pics to hide mistakes shhhhh.
O well clients happy, and I get to live another day.
Plus have an order for a second one from Sis.[emoji41]
