Looks great mate, such a cool shape. I appreciate this may be your secret to keep, but can you tell me how you make the scoops?

and also how you colour them in so neatly!

It's pretty simple really. It's all done on a spindle moulder. Just need the right cutter and setting it up to get it spot on. Took a bit of time to work out the depth of the cut and building a jig to hold the cleft in.

Tracing paper, a pencil, some old stickers and scissors haha. Just cut the shape out of some old stickers and cheated.
