Ladles - big and tiny for different functions

 

I'm determined to complete my push to restock my ladle stash. As you can see from the photo above today I got to make a couple of bigger soup ladles (9cm in diameter) with reclaimed solid brass handles; and tiny ladles (3.5cm in diameter). See polished reclaimed brass handle in photo below.

There are two types of tiny ladles one for jams or sauces and the other for scooping olives out of a jar. The olive ladles have drain holes in the bowl and right angled handles. 

You can see the difference between the two tiny ladles below in some of the process photos.

I have also been experimenting with handles - below are a pair of twisted 3mm brass wire handles and a pair of simple 3mm wire handles - probably for salad servers. 

The tiny ladles are quite delicate and have 2mm brass wire handles which are a nightmare to flatten, drill and rivet to the ladle bowl!

Photo of the two soup ladles and a tiny olive ladle follows - shows the size difference between the big and the tiny.
