Start from a blank workpiece
Begin with a blank workpiece in Easel. Import a spatula silhouette, resize it and move it inside the stock. Add a square, stretch it into a narrow rectangle and place it in the broad head. Set the slot depth to the stock thickness to see the opening in the native 3D preview.

This unsaved shape demonstration is not a tested cooking utensil. Choose suitable wood, final dimensions, edge shaping and workholding before making one for use.
The spoon has a carved bowl, the tongs have two flexible arms, and the cake knife uses separate handle pieces. Pick the job you want the wooden tool to do.
Toaster Tongby Erik RautineA single wooden shape makes two long arms joined at one end. Erik Rautine shows finished tongs in canary wood and hard maple. The shared design includes a combined layout and separate inside-cut and outside-cut workpieces.
Cherry Spoonby Mark GeringMark Gering carves an oval bowl and a long handle from cherry. His shared design contains the spoon outline and stepped bowl depths. The saved preview names plywood, so choose stock for the wood you actually use. The finished shape also needs hand shaping after the carve.
Wooden Wedding cake knivesby Johnathan BransonJohnathan Branson pairs a dark wooden blade with light handle pieces for a wedding cake knife. The shared workpieces provide a plain blade and two handle shapes. Add your own lettering if you want a name like the one in the photo; the display stand is separate.

From the makers’ notes
The gallery comments are open to read. Sign in to discuss the tong cut order or cake-knife assembly with the community.
For a two-pass carve, Erik cuts the inner opening first and the outside second, keeping the same XY zero. That order keeps the blank intact while the narrow opening is cut. Use his separate Inside Cut and Outside Cut workpieces for that approach.

From Toaster Tong by Erik Rautine.
Ask a questionJohnathan says doweling the handle is optional; he adds it because he likes the look. His sequence is to cut, glue and shape the wooden parts. You can keep the handle plain or include that visible dowel detail when you assemble it.
