Thread: First Coffee Scoop

  1. #1

    First Coffee Scoop

    Just finished my first coffee scoop. It took some time to figure out the jam chuck but I like to do things that people can use. It is about 5" long and the bowl of the scoop is about 1 1/2" diameter. It is black walnut.

    Sorry the pictures are not better.

    Thanks for looking.

    All the best and Happy Thanksgiving!

    Looks good Don. Much better than mine. I like the ergonomic handle.

    Really nice scoop Don! Did you turn the actual scoop portion to a specific size? I like the form, wood and like Richard already mentioned - the custom handle! Nice work!

    Great scoop Don. I've never attempted one but it looks like a fun project.

    Thanks for your nice comments. It makes it easier to try something different.
    Steve, I did try to turn the scoop bowl to 1 1/2" diameter. I have not measured it's capacity (how much it will hold). We may have some strong coffee this Thanksgiving.

    All the best.

    Nice looking scoop Don! I'll bet it was exciting that one armed propeller!

    Don, Great looking coffee scoop. I like wooden kitchen utensils. I think I will make one from some sweetgum I have. Thanks for posting this.
