Making a shovel for putting pizza, baguettes and bread in the oven

I got a little bit inspired the other day and decided to create one of those baker's shovels that is used to insert bread into the oven.

I started with a piece of oak wood about 160 cm long. The process is pictures can be found here. it's not very beautifull, but it's something I made, and I'm very proud .-) You know, a little like the fact that every mother thinks their child is the most beautifull.

My next design, (when this one breaks) will be lighter, and I'll remember to use nails and glue instead of screws since the wood is dry and cracks when you try to connect the screw the boards together.
