The Spoon 4-pot caliper has been specifically designed and tested for Honda applications. Unlike other 4-pot calipers, Spoon calipers are direct fit and are designed to work with the stock brake system, including the ABS.
Spoon calipers use stock Honda size brake pads, which gives users incredible flexibility in choosing pads. The 4-pot calipers significantly improve both high speed braking and brake pedal feel and its consistency during track use thanks to their rigid 1-block design. The 4-pot pistons makes pad wear more even and minimizes rotor warpage thanks to the offset piston sizes. Rapidly repeating the same form or technique means that you learn faster and therefore you will also train your motor memory faster.
The fact that a certain shape is easily repeatable does not mean that the design does not develop over time or turns out the same every time. If only because the wood itself is an organic material. Wood is not as predictable and constant as we sometimes would like. Often there is an inclusion or knot hidden, forcing you to adjust the design slightly. But regardless of what the wood determines, I regularly adjust my templates.
But I also vary in shape and appearance within a template. By playing with the side profile, micro details micro finials , faceting, relief carving, chip carving, kolrosing and other finishing and decoration techniques, you can still make many different unique spoons within the same template.
If you want to carve an organic spoon, where the grain direction of the wood determines the shape, I think a template is more of a limitation than a tool.
In those cases I sometimes use a template and then manually adjust the lines to the woodgrain. But in general, when this is the case, I am convinced that you get a much stronger and more expressive design by drawing directly on the wood. Or even by not drawing at all and freeing the spoon from the wood directly. The spoon templates discussed so far are have been all templates in which the profile at least of the front view has been determined. Another way to use templates is to create an intermediate shape from billet to blank.
A slice or slab of wood, as it were, intended to be able to freeze or seal as much wood as possible for later use. In this way you always have wood in stock, where you can carve a large I do not want to say unlimited number of different spoons according to the insight or need of that moment. Then, it is a pity to discover that this shape can no longer be carved out of the blank you have.
Because the angle can no longer be adjusted or because the blank is too thin or narrow at certain points. The slice or slab is generally a shape that still takes you back to the chopping block. Unless you feel like a workout, and therefore you can still use it in all directions. Finally, you can also use templates for details or finishing. For example, to vary the shape of the bowl or to draw guides for chip carving or kolrosing to just give some examples.
