Little cooking spoons

This little project was inspired by Laughter's "unlikely" spoons and my "perfect" spoons.  As you may recall, Laughter makes those funny scrapers pretty thin, so he gets two from a 3/4 inch piece.  As I have been making spoons, I have realized that the bowl of the spoon doesn't really need to be very deep.  So why not make some thinner spoons?  As long as they are thick enough to be strong.  And with maple, strength isn't really a problem.  So I cut out a littler spoon and then cut the piece in half to make two of them.
Some lousy pictures:

Then, of course, I finished them.  Better pictures:
