I modeled a spoon in Blender. Then I carved that spoon on the 4th axis on the CNC machine using Aspire. The spoon is about 14” in length and has a large paddle section with spikes on the back. I made a prototype at first by gluing up some pine scraps to make a big enough piece from which to carve the spoon. Then I made another version out of a maple block that I had. This was cutting great until the CNC machine for some reason flipped the piece around and started carving in the wrong location. I had to stop the machine very quickly. I then found a piece of red alder and I cut the spoon from that. I slowed the cutting process down and this seemed to help it cut the entire spoon, first with a roughing pass and then with a finishing pass. I'm not exactly sure what to use this spoon for but it turned out very interesting and it was a fun project. It also gave me ideas for future projects on the 4th axis of the CNC machine.
