It is is always interesting getting another persons take on a craft.  In this book Vogel is unrestrained by tradition so suggests many ways and methods to craft a spoon.

Not adverse to using powered means to remove wood and some tools that are often frowned upon such as rasps.

He suggests that one approach is necessarily better than the other, but outlines several and lets you decide.
