Spatulas
I'm learning to turn wood on the lathe at my local community workshop and enjoying it heaps. My first serial project is spatulas, inspired by this video by Australian woodturner and teacher Richard Raffan:
Turning a spatula from scrap wood. Video sourced from YouTube here
As a newb, it takes me about three times as long as Raffan, but i'm pleased with the results, nonetheless. Check it out!

After turning, i shape the paddle faces with a hand plane then lightly sand.
