I'm off next week, and hope to make one.

My LV spokeshave is supposed to come in tomorrow and I'm stoked.

I told Clovispup last night that I'm either going to have to start giving away spoons, or buy a small woodstove.

One of those mules is going on my list, too.  Probably make one soon.  Has a lot of good usability features.

Great video, Jack, thanks for posting it.

Nice video.

Here's another spoon mule video. If you search for spoon mule on YouTube, you'll get a lot of them. The one Jack posted is unique.

I know it's mostly personal preference, but I don't understand why more spoon makers don't carve out the bowl when the blank is flat and can be held in a conventional vise. I use a mallet with my gouge and end up carving manually to get the finer
