My son found this when he was small - it is just a old broken spoon, but it was once treasure to a little boy.
I am thinking to make it usable, something for him to keep from his dad and his childhood.

Perhaps using some of his other stuff

Spoon and handle made from the past ???
Any suggestions ?

Let me know if you want a 9.3x74R case to use for a handle.
I'd fix it to the spoon with Steenvas or one of the Pratley's Putty range.

Treeman,
How much metal is left - especially in the handle? That will determine how strong and durable it still is.
If it is still strong enough, the options for attaching a handle are legio:
- bone handle from one of his target animals
- rifle case like on the photo
- a piece of wood with a special meaning - riveted

Oh yea, its still original solid with layer of rusty on top (or so it appears). At the moment I am toying with the idea of copper shaft into the shell to lengthen it - the idea of his own shot shell appeals, perhaps from a succesful hunt.

Clean it up, see what it looks like underneath. Q10 and steelwool.
