I bought this vintage hollowware (hollow handle) salad fork/spoon set on fleabay for chump change & a couple of FFFg flintlock priming valves from TOTW

I then cut the wooden fork/spoon off from their hollow handles.

I made a small wooden plug to fit inside the open end of the handle(s), drilled it for the priming valve, then epoxied it in place.
