Hello,
Sorry for the double post. Not sure if anyone reads the classified forum.
Can anyone pass some info on where I can buy homemade aluminum spoons or where I can buy sheets of shiny aluminum to make my own spoons?
Thank you.

Go find some spoons at a goodwill or second hand shop, the old style with high polish do pretty well, I've fished with a few over the years.

A friend told me he started making them and sent me this pic as his first one. He is trying to order some really high polished aluminum sheets. Does anyone have any recommend places locally or website we can buy them for the best price?  |

Polishing compound will shine them with very little effort, probably best to polish the sheet first, then make the spoon.
Try painting some White, sometimes White is better than chrome, finger nail paint works great.
It will be a lot cheaper than buying pre polished.
Brasso, never dull, basically any metal polish will shine Aluminum.
