Carving a Coffee Scoop

My friend asked me to make a flour scoop, so I decided to carve it out of a piece of walnut I had. I mostly used hand tools but I removed most of the carved out section of the scoop with a forstner bit in the drill press before carving the rest out with a pfeil 7-40 gouge before scraping with a scraper I rounded over to scrape concave surfaces.
I cut the shape of the scoop out with a bandsaw (I accidently didn't film that sorry) and then taped the cutoffs back onto the handle of the scoop so I could cut away the side profile too.
I cut the facets of the outside of the scoop away with a handsaw and then shaped the back and the handle with a spokeshave and chisels.
I finished it with a couple of coats of Tung oil and then a beeswax mineral oil blend.
I was experimenting with filming and editing slightly differently so hopefully you enjoyed this style of video

Is it just me or does anyone else also want to see everything this guy makes in action?

Lovely work! Was thinking of making my wife a scoop for Christmas, great inspiration!

Sounds like a lovely gift! Good luck!

@@DavidParker It went pretty well for a first try! I learned that I definitely need a nice gouge like yours! Using a carving hook and bevel chisel takes waaaaay longer haha

I liked the real craft sound effects, except some parts reminded me of chalk and blackboards.... Lovely job David, and cleaver move taping back the cut-off for stability.
