Coffee Scoop in Ebony!
I just couldn't contain myself and had to go out and turn something. I bought this scoop at Woodcraft as a kit. Not much of a kit. Make a handle and press the scoop in, but I thought it was something SWMBO would like and use. Maybe it will help to keep me out of the dog house.
So I cut off 5 inches of ebony from a 18x1.5x1.5 stick I had and gave it hell. My new tools are not as sharp as they should be is the first thing I found out. I will need to do some sharpening as soon as my Grinder comes in the mail. So here it is. Looks nice if you ask me, but what do I know. I sanded it up to 1K then applied only three coats of C.A. as I ran out. I'm hoping to be able to do a few pens along with brush handles and a few bowls soon. Time will tell. For now, I'm trying to recover from the cost of all these damn tools. I did get my 4 jawed Chuck in the mail. It came with 2 sets of jaws. Anyway, Here you go. A few pics.
Aaron, What lines do you keep talking about?It's just Sharpening, right?

Elegant! Does this mean that you now have to postpone additional tool purchases

Thanked: 552Down another rabbit hole Jerry. Are you still going to have time for razors?

Yes, good job Jerry! Did you first draw a sketch of what you wanted or just wing it free hand? Either way it's a nice shape.

This was freehand, Vern.
I kept thinking it should be thinner but with the shape of the scoop I think its ok.
Im still playing with razors too. I think its part of the small print at the bottom of the page that i have to to be an SRP Mentor.It's just Sharpening, right?
