I like it!

Hey, cut a wedge out of the old one where that crack is and epoxy in a piece... then ya got a spare! :)

Thanks Cody. I used Hickory. I really was not sure what wood would work best for a cooking utensil. I know Hickory is pretty tough stuff so I decided to try it on this thing.

[DougB]

Good idea Marc! I don't know if she would use it that way, but it can't hurt to try.

[skyphix]

MAke sure you use food safe/waterproof glue with the wedge (like TB3 or the various others).

[DougB]

I was going to use epoxy like Marc suggested and that is why I am not sure if LOML would be willing to use it for cooking...but, she also uses it to get my attention sometimes and it should still be useful for that ;)

Thats how it broke,you are going to be rich, thats the "WIDGET" you been lookin fer.. Carl

HaHaHa! Good one Carl. Yep, it was prolly my hard head that caused the old one to get that crack in it :) I guess it really is appropriate that I made a new one for her since it was my fault that the old one cracked :) LMAO!

perhaps for your own safety you shoulda made it from a softer wood especially if she has to "get your attention" often

[DougB]

It's too late! She's already armed with the Hickory one. Luckily I am very hard headed so I'm sure she will be needing a new one soon. I'll make sure that one is softer...I'm thinking maybe Balsa wood for the next one ;)
