    Default Quick Spreaders for Chrissie

    These are some mayo and jam spreaders that are quick and easy to turn. Even the short one will reach the bottom of a quart jar of mayo.
    These are made from Mesquite (7 O'clock), Paulope (5 O'clock), Spalted Poplar (2:30, 8:30, and 11:30), and Silverleaf Maple (some with curl, and some spalted).
    Her Majesty said she needed 14 of them for Christmas gifts for her Quilting Ladies.
    They are fun to turn, so I'm going to make some for my DILs and married granddaughters, too.
    There was a tutorial by Steve Schlumpf on another forum.

    I like those. They will go into my presents file. might be struggling to get some done by this Christmas but if all goes well today could nearly finish some weather stations and clocks to clear the deck to get a start on these.

    Gives me an idea for honey sticks as well. They will all make good stocking stuffers and are small enough to give to friends who have enough pens etc.

    Thanks for sharing

    Nice!

    Do you cut the blades on a BS then glue on waste blocks for turning, or turn first and then shape the blade?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Gil, be nice. Thanks.

    Skew; I turn first, then cut on BS. Then sanded to shape on a belt sander, and finished with RO sanders.

    The finish is Mineral Oil/Beeswax. Smeared on, then heated near the open door of my shed stove, and rubbed in by hand. Buffed with a soft rag.

    Al, I was being nice. They both look fine, just that yours looks more like a table knife used for spreading "stuff" on toast and crackers, so I like it more.
