Spoon Shape

VM

Hello,

I'm searching for a way to create a spoon. I've seen a couple posts but the solutions seem more complex than it needs to be. Is there any way to create a spoon using projected curves and loft? I'm looking for a solution that can be easily tweaked after review (for example, making bowl deeper, making spoon more oval or round, etc). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

hi @VM
here's how I'd approach it. To take it farther, you'll want to tweak the input splines and maybe even dimension them to lock it down.

I appreciate your solutions, John and Evan. It is nice to see that there are two methods that could work. I will take a look at these and try to replicate them to the specs I need. Thanks for your help!

Here is my attempt at my half tang spoon. It is pretty close to what I envisioned. The only issue I ran into happened towards the end of the design. I was unable to fillet the section where the half tang and spoons shape meet in the middle.

cool! if these are the areas you're talking about, I'd roll back before your other fillets and fillet these edges first
