Something about that handle just screams butt plug to me. Is birch splinter free?

Any self respecting kitchen utensil is also a butt plug

I got the whimsy to make a couple wooden butter knives after breaking one we got from an estate sale. Honestly some of my favorite utensils, although it's partially because I hand crafted them

What finish did you put on that?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I cut off a few green burch limbs today. Thinking I need to go out tomorrow and start making kitchen utensils.

I have become a big fan of wood knives in þe past couple of years. Your's is beautiful - how did you finish it? I bought one from a local guy who had a table at a fair. It's nicely done, but þe surface is coarse, and I can't tell if I just need to sand it more finely, or saturate it wiþ a mineral oil.
