No. 17. Spoon.
(Requiring [Exercises] 5, 19, 12, 8, 9, 10, 32, 22, 29, 14, 15, 26, 13, 2, 8, 6, 24, 16, and 1.)
From very carefully selected Beech cut a piece 10 in. long, 21⁄2 in. wide, and 13⁄4 in. thick. Plane one side and one edge at right angles. Sketch on the flat edge the complete outline of Fig. 1 of [drawings No. 17]. With the turning saw, cut to the outline at right angles on the upper side only, completing with chisel and file. On the shaped side thus produced, make a centre line as shown in Fig. 2, then the cross lines. Then, with compasses as guides and checks, mark the outlines of the handle shown in Fig. 2, and, with freehand, sketch the ellipse. With bits and brace drill a 7⁄8-in. hole right through at each centre marked b, and a 5⁄8-in. hole at each centre marked c. Then, with the turning saw, cut to the outline at right angles throughout, completing the process with gouge, knife, and file. Then, in the manner described for making the inside of [No. 14], make the inside of the Spoon in unison with the dotted curve of Fig. 1.
The inside of the Spoon being thus completed, proceed with the outside. Mark on the edge the outline d d d d d for the under side of the spoon. With the turning saw, cut out to that outline, and round with the knife, as shown in the sections of Figs. 3, 4, and 5. Take care to keep carefully outside the lines when cutting with the knife, and apply the file, scraper, and sand-paper for finishing.
*** The under part of the spoon is a capital exercise in modelling with the knife, and, if one process is completed before the next is commenced, requires no more than ordinary application and care.
