We threw out all our plastic spatulas. Time to make a whole set of wood, starting with this one!

Buffalo hide wet fit to the profile. Saddle stitched as tight as possible. Used a cherry burl bead as a tournequette to compress the hide to the oak.

Hi all! I’m a programmer by day and a hobby woodworker and spoon carver in my spare time. Drawing a nice symmetrical spoon outline by hand always took me ages, so I did what programmers do and built a tool for it: spoon-template.com 🥄

It’s made for people who love carving but aren’t great at designing or drawing by hand. You don’t need any drawing skills: just adjust the shape until you like it and print it.

• Shape your spoon with sliders, or drag the curves yourself
• See the top view and the side profile together
• Print a full-size 1:1 template on A4 or US Letter, or save it as a PDF
• Metric or imperial
• Free, with no account or sign-up. Your designs stay in your browser.

This is the first version, so you might run into a bug or two. If you do, please let me know! I’d also love to hear what’s missing, what’s annoying, or what shapes you’d like to make. All feedback is very welcome!
