Salad tong sets

I make these as a compliment to my large salad bowls, my customers love them & I give a discount if they buy a bowl or they can buy a set outright. The design has changed over the years as customers gave me practical advice after using a set for a year or so. Just thought I would post a picture of the latest generation.
Dumped the fork and rounded the corners to get to the croutons and other salad stuff that sinks to the bottom of a large salad bowl. The first ones had a fork and a scoop to make up a set. One customer said loose the fork and make two scoops instead. Did that then a different customer said to round the front of the scoops to better match the shape of the bowl and get to the last stuff in the bottom of the bowl.
 
No Tom each one is made from a single piece, I cut out the basic shape with my band saw then turn & sand the handle on my lathe, from there I go back to the band saw to rough in the shape of the scoop like end, then to the sander to get the profile smoothed down to grade,and walnut oil then when dry I buff them
