Carve a Spoon from a Blank 

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you found it helpful! Kind regards, Greg

I tend to sharpen in an “as needed “ basis. Some woods will be tougher than others. Some woods have silica in them! These will wear the tool edges faster. Hence I do it as I feel the tools are losing their edge. Making stools from recycled hardwoods give you access to an amazing array of Timbers for free. I often break up old furniture to make spoons.😁

Thankyou. Glad you found it helpful. 😁

LoLo P Thankyou! A new video was uploaded last nice :Carving Spatulas. More to come!

Amy Amy Thankyou!

Gidday, Scentaur. I find some figs to be a bit fibrous. I hope it worked out well for you. I am biased about BeaverCraft, as I am an Australian Dealer for these tools. As with all brands of tools, there are some I prefer more than others. I only stock the ones I like the most. Same with Mora knives. The great thing about BeaverCraft is that they are priced so cheaply, which makes it easier for new carvers to get carving! My real favourites with the BeaverCraft Hook Knives are the SK5 (which has the same radius hook as the Mora 162 and is also double sided), and the SK4 and SK4L more open curved hook knives. These 3 all come with a longer handle than many other hook knives, and I find this makes the tool much more versatile. Stay save, and keep spoon carving!

Gidday, Mark. I tend to sharpen in an “as needs” basis. It depends on the wood I am using. Some woods cut like butter and some will blunt the tools quickly. During the filming of that video, no, I didn’t need to sharpen the blades. I hope this helps! Greg

@@thejoyofwood thank you. Loving the little hammer I bought and the other things.
