Home made chuck for holding wooden spoons

[Kidbee]

A few years back I was at a WWW show in Brisbane and saw Guilio Marcolongo turning wooden spoons. Also Phil Irons UK woodturner made them as well but I do not have his book.

Does anyone have a photo of the chuck arrangement used to turn out the centre of the spoon. Do I remember Guilio shaping the handle also while it was in the chuck?

Google is your friend. :2tsup:

I'd also suggest looking at a back copy of Woodturning around Sept or Oct last year. Michael O'Donnell did an article on spoons showing several holding methods.

Thanks fellas. That helps a lot.

Sorry Cliff, I've just noticed that your second link was to the self same article I mentions, just the on-live version.
