Christmas Spoons

I was asked (ordered) by the SWMBO to make some utensils for the in-laws for Christmas.  They are turned, ground and sanded.  The grinding was a done on my DP with a ball grinder.   Sanding was mostly done on the disc grinder for roughing and then 1,2, and 3" soft pads on my lathe, in a Jacobs chuck for finishing and final shape.  They are Hickory, which as you know is very hard.  I intend to 3 d print some spoon rest to accompany the gift....
From left to right they are in sets of a stirring spatula and spoon, except for the far right two pieces.  They large spoon is a request by the wife and the smaller spatula is for my neighbor that gave me some of the Hickory.
This is not the greatest photographic work I have ever done....but I was too lazy to set up the necessary equipment to do commerical grade photographs...my apologies.

Thanks for looking

Those look sweet! Hickory is a nice looking wood, just cranky for anyone wishing to turn a tree into something "nice".
Look great.   Had an Aunt who.had 4 boys ( all boy boys ).  She adopted 2 more.   Her instrument of order was a large wooden spoon.   
Hope yours are as effective in cooking or heaven forbid maintaining order.   Looks like they would.
