Have you considered adding one more hole to the central row and staggering so as to leave a bit more material in-between the holes for greater strength?

Actually I had it like that early on in the design process but my OCD mind likes uniformity. :roll_eyes: The base of the spoon is a tad over 5/16 and this being hard maple it seems plenty sturdy. Thanks for the feedback Will.

That’s interesting. I would have eliminated one hole in top and bottom rows and made a hex pattern… :slight_smile: I work with multi-strand fiber optic cables and the “hex close packing” is something I see most every day so it looks natural to me…
