Hi everyone! I decided to make a spoon that matches the wood spatula I designed and made on my CNC machine. The spoon itself is a great beginner two-sided carving project that just about anyone can do with their CNC router. If you want to try to make it, go get the Vectric VCarve file and model from below:

I did all the hard work of setting up the file to be carved right, but you’ll have to setup the feeds and speeds for your machine.
In this video I walk through all the steps I go through to make the spoon, but my directions go into even more detail. This is a great tutorial and introduction into two-sided machining (2 sided carving). Doing the CNC wood inlay isn’t too hard, but it may take some practice to get it just right. I’d recommend isolating the rose inlay and attempting it on a separate piece before doing it on the spoon itself. It took me a good four or five DIY tries before I finally figured out how to do it. The trick was realizing how the Vcarving parameters worked, and how to change parameters based on what I saw. I may eventually make a video on doing that to help people find the perfect vcarving settings.

Note that I use my Tormach PCNC 1100 – this machine is better suited at cutting metal, and the maximum spinning it does is 5140 RPM, which is pretty low for woodworking. You will need to change the feeds and speeds to be more appropriate for whatever CNC Router you are using (Avid, Tormach 24R, Bob’s, etc). I’m hoping this project will give you some good CNC project ideas!
