When I'm baking these are the two measuring spoons ( Tbl. and Tsp.) I always use. I usually have to hunt for them in the misc. slot in the kitchen drawer so I had a dream about a double ended spoon that had them both on it and here it is. It is 5 5/8" long and 1 9/16" wide and made from cherry. It spent a little time on the lathe to get the handle and the rough shape. It is finished with Danish oil and clear lacquer.

Nice.
Thanks, Guys !!!!!
Hi Larry. I used some metal measuring spoons for guides. I drilled out the center of each one of these spoons with a big drill to establish the depth. Then I used a ball cutter on a Dremel to hog out the shape and used those metal spoons to calibrate both spoons with a flat , up to the top ,measure of powder. I went slow and snuck up on it so I did not make it too big. I can't wait to use them !!!! I only need these two because if it is a 1/4 or 1/2 measure. I estimate using the full spoon and have not messed up anything using that method so far.

yeah i agree those two measurements cover 90% of what you need and the rest you can guess.

Interesting, just the other day I was on Amazoo looking at a metal version of this. I had never seen them before. Couples the 2 sizes I use the most. Nice build.
Great idea and better follow through. Nice!

Creative minds have been changing the world ever since the first time man figured out that rubbing two sticks together makes fire. This too will become a fixture in the hands of mankind with each wondering - Why didn’t I think of that?
Seriously, nice idea and nice work. I have to give this a try, I know it'll be used here.

That's real nice looking and handy Jim.
A fantastic idea and a beautiful solution. Very very nice, Jim.
Awesome! Great idea. You know, if you etched a line in the big spoon to show a half-Tbs level you’d have it pretty much all covered with just one gadget!
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
It's like some ancient Asian fighting spoon carried by the camp cook!
Nice work as always Jim!

Thank you all for the nice comments on the twospoon!!!
Hey Tom, be sure to post yours. I may make a few more for the fall sales and see if there is interest. if there is, I'd like to have a CNC router to mass produce them.
Hi George I didn't know there was such a spoon in wood or metal. Heck, I thought I made the first one. What is the metal one called?
I Ryan. I thought of graduating it but my eyeball estimation has been used for years so no extra work needed

Cool! It's still a clever idea - you thought of it on your own.
Thanks, Steve. Yes and I thought I was the fist to make one...I guess not! That's okay. It might give someone to idea to make one!

So,...one side whan you are hungry and other side when you are ''realy'' hungry....hehehe
...woodicted
If I make more, I'm going to make the opening round and vary the depth to get the right amount....much easier to make and no Dremel work!!!
