The finished photos first

I made a few small sketches to get a basic idea of what I wanted and then made a full size template.  I cut this out and traced it onto my piece.  

I drilled out the waste with forstner bits, used a scroll saw to cut to my line, and then an oscillating spindle sander where it would fit for the inside sections.

Using a Hirsch #7 35mm straight gouge to make the spoon part

Smoothing it out with a card scraper and sandpaper

Cut it out on the bandsaw

Lots and lots of shaping.  Rasps, files, flat and round bottom spokeshaves, chisels, sandpaper, and most importantly, my card scrapers.

Finished with a few coats of Danish oil.
