I know this isn't quite what you're looking for, but is it close enough? [image\|http://www.spasandtubs.com/Finnleo/jpgs/ladle18.jpg\|0\|Sanna ladle\|400\|349] From a Google image search on "wood ladle" Roy Underhill's "The Woodwright's Shop" show on PBS (he also has books) covers traditional woodwork. He might cover making spoons, but I haven't seen any details of which episode/book would be best. HTH! Cheers, Scott.
Post #242,396 by Meerkat 1/25/06 8:54:51 AM Reply	That's what I was thinking For Christmas I bought my brother and his wife some (IMO) beautiful wooden kitchenware - amongst the items was the large ladle shown [link\|http://www.indeco.net.au/ladles.htm\|here]. It is a beautiful piece of work - the kind of thing that almost seems a shame to dip into hot soup. Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.
Post #242,401 by Andrew Grygus 1/25/06 10:33:51 AM Reply	Well, that's a lot closer than any of the spoons . . . . . but it's too deep for tasting. You need the right balance of depth to surface cooling - with a ladle you're going to get burned. At the other extreme a straight spoon just comes up damp with nothing to taste.

Post #242,458 by CRConrad 1/25/06 3:58:38 PM Reply	That's for throwing water onto the stones on the sauna oven. With its varnished finish (according to [link\|http://www.spasandtubs.com/Finnleo/sauna_access.html\|http://www.spasandtubs.com/Finnleo/sauna_access.html]), it is, as you say, not quite what Andrew is looking for. The [link\|http://www.spasandtubs.com/Finnleo/jpgs/ladle14.jpg\|other one] would probably be a better bet -- it looks completely untreated, from the picture -- although that, too, has a bit too straight a handle. (And it's also generally pretty clumsy and ugly.) [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R. Conrad] (I live in Finland, and my e-mail in-box is at the Saunalahti company.) Yes Mr. Garrison, genetic engineering lets us correct God's horrible, horrible mistakes, like German people. - [link\|http://maxpages.com/southpark2k/Episode_105\|Mr. Hat]

Mostly empty? No. - (Andrew Grygus) - Jan. 25, 2006, 09:35:34 PM EST

What would a local machine shop charge? - (tonytib) - (3) - Jan. 25, 2006, 11:35:25 AM EST

Our machinist likes grinders - (tonytib) - (1) - Jan. 25, 2006, 05:33:49 PM EST

Grinders I know . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - Jan. 25, 2006, 07:23:47 PM EST

Have you looked at any Pampered Chef catalogs? - (imqwerky) - (5) - Jan. 25, 2006, 07:20:14 PM EST

My wife is a Pampered Chef junkie - (Steve Lowe) - Jan. 25, 2006, 07:26:53 PM EST

Well, those are nice, but once again they're straight. - (Andrew Grygus) - (3) - Jan. 25, 2006, 07:28:15 PM EST

Straight wood + steam + formers = bent wood. No? -NT - (Ashton) - (2) - Jan. 29, 2006, 04:55:34 AM EST

Hot soup would unbend that right away. - (Andrew Grygus) - (1) - Jan. 29, 2006, 10:54:26 AM EST

Sure you do - (drewk) - Jan. 29, 2006, 03:52:24 PM EST

But calm down, don't wet yourself over spotting one!
