Apple Kitchen Utensils

Had one of our apple trees die so I took it down and am trying to get some small 8” wide slabs from it.

The off-cuts seemed to look cool so I gave a go at making a set of kitchen utensils out of them.

My wife is pretty happy with them and my family is interested in some. Took under 3 hrs each with hand tools.

The middle scrapper is from stump wood.

I wet sanded them with 320 and finished with mineral oil but the next ones I’ll use thinned tung oil.

Those look good! I hope the tung oil cures fast enough if you’re planning to give any of these for Christmas.

Thank you!

That’s a good point about the cure time for tung. I may need to add a warning to the cards for any I give as gifts then.

They are so rich in character…

KUDOS!…
