Lindt Whisk(s)

You know that Lindt advert with the chocolatier, twirling a spiral whisk through smooth melted chocolate?

Well it turns out you can't buy spiral whisks anywhere, so I made one! 

I turned the handle from mahogany and the spiral 'balloon' is made from an old whisk which I dismantled and bent into a spiral shape using a jig I improvised.

Update - Jan 2015

Since first posting this a few years ago I have received many requests from all over the world for such a whisk, it seems there is a global gap in the market for spiral balloon whisks if there are any budding entrepreneurs reading this!

I have had to turn down most of these requests due to time pressures however I'm pleased to say I found the time to make at least one which actually turned out better than the original.

As with the original, I turned the mahogany handle on my lathe but the shape is much more pleasing. Also, this was my first venture into engraving and I'm quite pleased with the results!
