| ©2020 Barry Smith - Stash of leaf pate knives made from metal cut from recycled vintage trays - ground and polished Leaf Pate Knives on the workbench |
As you might be aware I have had quite a stash of metal on my work bench. I have been concurrently progressing: ladles, tea-caddy spoons, leaf-spoons and leaf pate knives. I completed the ladles last week; so this weekend I have attempted to get some of the other three finished.
As you can see from the opening photo I did manage to get the Leaf Pate Knives finished; and the last photos shows the Leaf Tea-caddy Spoons were also finished.
Process photos follow.

Tea caddie spoons were also given a good grinding and polish.

These functional pieces of metal art shall make their way in to my website shop in the very near future.
