Supplies and Equipment for Carving Salt Scoops

Instructions for Carving Salt Scoops

  1. Print the scoop pattern.

  2. Prepare the blank by covering with painter's tape.
  3. Spray adhesive on the back of the pattern and mount to the prepared blank. The painter's tape makes it easy to mount the pattern and to remove it without leaving any sticky residue on the wood.
  4. Cut the basic shape of the scoop on the scroll saw.
  5. Carve out the bowl and handle of the scoop with the Proxxon Carver. Work slowly, removing small amounts of wood at a time. Let the carver do the work.
  6. Mount the rotary tool in the drill stand and rotate 90°. Insert a sanding drum in the rotary tool. Sand the surfaces of the carved scoop.
  7. Treat the finished scoop with food-safe oil. Oils for butcher blocks is perfect.
  8. Enjoy!!
