  I am not sure about that article .. I'll have to run it by the editorial board first (kennedy 4, Emily 8, Colby 15).

  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.
