I had the pleasure of sending my swap submission to Dave P from Santa Fe NM. I had been wanting to make myself some new tongs so it was a great choice. There's not a lot to them really, 2 sides and a wedge. The wedge angle took some trial and error though!
Once I rough cut the blanks for the sides I put them together with carpet tape and cut them to shape then refined them with a combination of belt, spindle and edge sanders plus some hand finessing.
The longer ones are about 16” long and the small ones are perfect for appetizers/garnishes. They're figured maple and black walnut.
