Bench carvers, here's a hold down system for carving spoons:  When you band saw
the  spoon blanks, try to keep the main scrap pieces intact so that you can use
them as clamp guards and hold downs in securing the spoon to the bench.  The
scraps will automatically fit the spoon shape, both of the bowl and the handle.
Use the handle scrap wood to hold the spoon when you're working on the bowl, and
then the  bowl shape when you're carving the handle.

I'll put an example of the technique into the next Carving Magazine--if the
editor accepts it.
