how to make a honey dipper in under 5 minutes

This video is about how I make a honey dipper in under five minutes. Nothing fancy here just speed turning on a wood lathe. in the video I play the entire turning clip unaltered. I did not speed it up! It's just me going as fast as I could go making a honey dipper. Many people don't use a honey dipper anymore. The squeezable plastic containers have become commonplace. Sometimes I like to think back to times when things were slower and simpler when you could just drizzle.
In this quick tutorial I show how I quickly go through the process to make a honey spoon (dipper). I start out by quickly mounting the 7 inch maple blank in between centers on a wood lathe. Using a spindle roughing gouge I quickly make the blank round. Then I grab a 3/8 spindle gouge to shape the end of the honey dipper. Once that Is complete it's time to create the grooves that hold the honey. This is accomplished with a narrow parting tool. Now with a small skew chisel I round the edges of the grooves. It's not necessary but I like the look of it. I begin the process of material removal of the handle. For this I use a spindle gouge. It's actually more like a roughing gouge but with swept back wings. I like it for quick removal purposes on spindle work though. Then it's on to a skew again to smooth the thin shaft of the handle. Switching back to the 3/8 skew I shape a ball on the end. With a little sanding, 120 then 220 grits, we are ready for finish. The finish will be mineral oil. Now we can part it off the lathe, sand the ends, and dab a bit more oil on the ends. That's it ready for use!
