<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis is the latest incarnation of my wood utensil set. I had a few people say I should do a salad set — and this is what I came up with! The overall shape is similar with my previous designs to keep them in consistent theme, but I decided to do a new inlay design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few months ago one of my friend’s was planning a trip to Maui, and wanted to bring his brother a gift. I figured it would be a nice time to do a new design, so I made this hibiscus flower shape loosely based on some vectors I saw. It’s tricky to design something that will become a good inlay without having chip out or something breaking during machining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m incredibly sad about the fires in Maui, and in particular Lahaina. I was born there, and lived in Lahaina when I was young. My parents moved back to Lahaina when I was in my early 20’s, so I continued to visit often. My family isn’t there anymore, and they are all safe, but it is heartbreaking to hear about all the casualties and destruction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I made a set of these utensils for myself, and I’ve been using them for a while. The flat-ish spoon shape can do double duty as a spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My CNC’d wood utensils started with the wood spatula<\/a>, moved on to the deep wood <\/a>spoon,<\/u><\/span><\/font> and experimentations with other wood combinations, like walnut and madrone<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like a lot of my recent projects, I am selling digital files and plans on how to make these: Salad Utensil Set Plans and CNC Files<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch me making the set here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
