For this step I used a hand saw for cutting out the rough shape but you can also use a knife or a power saw.

First I pasted on the template and then I cut it to the rough shape with a hand saw.

For this step I used a Roughing knife and a Dremel.

I carved out the basic shape and then I used the Dremel for the finer details and to sand it.

Next I took the roughing knife and carved the bottom to shape.

Then I used some sand paper to smooth it out.

For this step I just took a round edge chisel and carved out the center.

Then I just took some sand paper and smoothed out the whole spoon.

I just used some Mineral Oil because it seals the wood and makes it food safe.

Plus, it adds a little bit of color.
