Wooden Noggin & Spoon

                                     Here are two items that I picked up at local thrift stores.

 First the noggin. As seen in the second photo it had the shape of a fish, but with a coping saw and some sandpaper it turned into a useable noggin. The spoon I didn’t need to do anything. I did stain it a little darker and rubbed both the noggin and spoon in with mineral oil. I didn’t remove the persons name that was scratched into the bottom. I believe they both are a great addition to my kit.
