Thread: Ice cream handle idea.

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.

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:

Composite Knife Handles

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

The link works OK for me. Just put "composite knife handles" into the search. Try that way.

I like Skew's idea. You may not be allowed a chisel in the kitchen, but think how much ice cream you could have in the shed.

The funny thing is I hate the cold, will only have ice cream when it’s hot.
Sally on the other hand, would be looking for a ice cream van while being a tourist in Antartica [emoji849].

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.

Mick.

try and pick up a 5" bottle stopper blank like pictured below,

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, hint

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]

Cheers Matt,

All we can ever ask for is a happy customer. Especially if it's the Good Lady.

Well done Matt, happy wife , happy life , and more turning , doesn, t get any better than that
