Working on one other utensil design and then 5 of each then we sand.
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.
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…
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…
I guess like they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ![]()
Don’t you mean CDO? That way it’s alphabetical… lol…
ha ha good one but not a bad idea
