Okay, so spoons don't really go bad. But kids banging spoons into the edges of pots will make your spoon look and feel less than perfect. This poor guy pictured below got battered into the sharp edge of a pot. Look closely and you can see the wound on the edge.
So I had to sand the edge of the spoon off to get rid of the split area. To keep the spoon symmetrical, I had to take the entire edge off. Here is what it looks like now.
It is much smaller now. You can see where the spoon retains it patina from long use, except for the newly exposed light areas. I sanded it very smooth and oiled it with mineral oil.
By the way, the sawdust smelled really good. Like delicious Mexican food.
