    Default The scoop

    The last market saw us sell out of scoops, while making replacements, I thought a WIP could be in order, so here goes. Just hope it is of some benefit to someone. Making this scoop is similar to making a goblet without a base.
    Start with a square piece in a scroll chuck and bore a hole for the cup. I use a modified spade bit with a bit of tape around the shank to control the depth of hole.

    The inside of the cup is cleaned up using a small scraper with a shear scrape cut.

    The block is now rounded off with a roughing gouge, and tidied up with a skew.

    The length of the bowl is marked off and a deep "V" cut with the long point of the skew, and the outside of the bowl is formed with a skew chisel.

    The outside edge is thinned to a fine edge.

    After sanding, rough out the handle, and refine the shape with a detail gouge.

    Now the handle is finished. carefully sand and cut from the chuck with the long point of the skew chisel.

    Cut the top half off the cup on the bandsaw and clean up. I made a small 'drum' sander by turning a 75mm block round and winding and gluing a strip of sand paper to the block and fitting it into the lathe. Handy for a lot sanding a lot of things.

    Now look at the finished project, simple really, all up should take less than an hour.
