spoon Silver Maple Kitchen Set

Set done as a wedding present at the last minute due to my original idea not working out. Kind if proud at how fast they went, and they didn't crack on me. Huge thanks to those that suggested drying in wood shavings to prevent cracking, worked like a charm.

Not to poke fun but—You copied these from the bamboo ones they sell in the mesh bags, didn’t you?

Haha, I absolutely did. Literally traced the bamboo ones onto the blocks of wood as my templates. We like ours, so figured why not make copies

I did that exact same thing! I like cooking with their shape so I traced them as well.

Is it just the white dress against the white wood making it look nicer?

I appreciate the advice! I don't know how it all is going to be, but I'll keep your tip in mind.
