Horn Spoons

Thought I'd have a go at some horn spoons after being suitably inspired by Mantas, I made mine a little more of a traditional shape,


Started by cutting the horn into usebale lengths


Heated the horn then sandwiched it between 2 spoons in a vice


Then cut around the bowl using a coping saw and a file


Then file the handle to shape, very smelly and dusty work!


a quick polish to shine it up


Then I made some more, it's quite good fun doing these!!

  1. I'm a stranger to you, but I have to tell you how much I look forward to yours posts! I just relocated to Alaska a few weeks ago, not living the bush life, but reminiscing about when I used to dream about holing up in a cabin and lashing my own snowshoes! A dream deferred, but living in Alaska is still very much an adventure! Found your blog by way of some others about livng in Alaska. Very interesting!
