Taking a shot at ladels

They are great workmanship! Personally, I think that they would look better with a slightly S shaped handle, the straight lines are just too sterile with the great leaf and cup at either end.

 

One thing that I have been taught is to "flash" on an image and see what jumps out at you. Sure is tough taking an old technician and making him an "artist".

A great look and functional to boot. Good job. By the way, how did you sink the ladel and put in the two pouring spouts? Do you have a special swedge?

The ladel was shaped on my trunnion swedge block. But a stump or a modified piece of pipe with the lip rolled will work. I cut the pattern for the ladle bowl with the two spouts and then used a v-swage and a narrow cross peen to shape the spouts.
