I've been making these wooden spoons out of 1/4 inch oak but decided to try a set out of 1/2 inch to see if they could be used as a combination spoon and oven pull.
It worked!! I had to do a bit of sanding on the handle to make them a bit lighter but not enough as to weaken them. The decorative spirals on the one with the hole in the middle and the indentations on the other was just me experimenting with finger grips. Both work great.
Also, these are real simple to make and make great Christmas gifts.
By the way...the notch in the spoons was originally intended to hang on the edge of your pan so the drippings fall back into the pan instead of getting all over your counter. Doubling as an oven rack pull is just a bonus. I finish these with mineral oil.
Any comments and suggestions are always welcome.
