Functional

Six medium sized hand made ladles with brass and copper rod handles. 

I needed to make more functional metal bits for Maleny Additions. I have packed and delivered: Leaf Teaspoons; Leaf Tea Caddy Spoons; and Leaf Pate Knives. Just need to make and deliver ladles.

I decided to make 4 small ladles (bowl diameter 45mm) - good for sauces etc; and 6 medium ladles (bowl 60mm in diameter) 0 good for serving curry, rice etc.

Ten circles of metal were cut and pressed; and then hammered, ground and polished.

Brass and copper rod handles were fashioned and ground and polished.

And then the handles were riveted to the bowl sections with small brass and copper rivets. The rivets are actually cut down brass and copper nails I bought from a hardware store in Tatebayashi Japan quite a few years ago now.
