They didn't have plastic hundreds of years ago but they did have materials that could hold their shape like plastic. Let's make a spoon from a cow horn!
Here's one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Make a spoon from cow horn
- Make a mold to shape it with
- Smooth and polished
- Deep enough to hold a teaspoon of liquid
- This needs to be a pretty nice spoon you'd give as a gift and expect it to be used or displayed
- This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- The horn you're starting with
- The spoon mold wood you're starting with
- The finished mold
- The spoon midway through construction
- The finished spoon with a cooking teaspoon next to it for volume comparison
