Lovely..lol Thanks so much Zed, that was a fun day. Hope this helps or inspires folks out out there, like Zed's earlier videos did for me. Full Circle!

@patrickgatons Год назад

Thanks for all the tips and careful explanation of your process. Going to have to rethink my stump design. Love the raised shelf and different nooks for stabilizing the work. Zed, as usual, wonderful camera work showing the careful axe and knife techniques. Very inspiring video, blessings to you both!

@swervituredesigns952 Год назад

Never seen anyone do side cuts with the axe so safely and across the big removal stage. Changing the shape of my block later today to simulate yours.

@Zedoutdoors Год назад

Once again Richard it was awesome hanging out and filming your process so that it may inspire and help others ~Peace~

@talkin-ape Год назад

Thank you @@patrickgatons & @Swerviture Designs , have fun with the axe block experiments. Make them fit you and the items you'll be chopping. Mine is about 5 years old now and the nooks etc are well worn by countless axe blows. It took a little time to get used to when newly made and a good few months for edges to wear and become more comfy in use.

Yay you‘re back😀

@Zedoutdoors Год назад

Hey hey! :) ~Peace~

@talkin-ape Год назад

Just incase anyone is interested: after we shot the video I remembered the wood I was using was Horse Chestnut, the good ole Conker Tree. It came from a huge wind fallen limb just outside the Garden's walls.

@jrreed6992 Год назад

Richard, being a lefty which bevel grind did you get for your ax.

@talkin-ape Год назад

@@jrreed6992 I use the centre grind variant, which is the most versatile and best for spoons. I do have another Gransfors Large Carver, which was labelled as Left Handed. It is flat on the wood side, huge bevel on the other. Great for creating flat surfaces or convex like the underside of a bowl, but won't do concave, which helps with the sides of spoon handles.

@aaronwarner2762 Год назад

Have watched so many of your videos. No idea why I HAD NEVER SUBSCRIBED BEFORE!!!! Obviously a lack of intelligence.... again. Zed, thank you so much for preserving the heritage of your nation across the pond. I wonder how many years this tutorial will be in existence and how many folks will be inspired to attempt to carve a spoon.... I have only made three or four spoons, all equally horrible. But, they all stir stuff just fine and bring food to the mouth. What a great way to get into green wood working?! Keep up the wonderful content!!!

@Zedoutdoors Год назад

Hi Aaron, I sincerely appreciate your kind wrds and for subscribing, I really mean that. Huge congrats for beginning your journey into this wonderful craft and am chuffed to hear these videos are helping in some way. Have an awesome 2023 and happy carving my friend ~Peace~

@talkin-ape Год назад

@swervituredesigns952 Год назад

Another in an important workshop series for spoonies. I get at least one new adaptation per episode. In this one, learned there’s more than a cosmetic reason to avoid and eliminate pith section. That wisdom WILL accentuate every spoon I make from now on. A new way to contain effects of drying!!

@stirwoodcraft Год назад

Thanks for this Richard and Zed, I needed to see some carving, whilst my arm is recovering. And now I have few new techniques to look at with the scorp too, as your hollowing process is very different from mine. Much love 💛

@Zedoutdoors Год назад

Sincerely appreciate your kind words Sean and no matter how many of these videos I film, i'm always amazed as to the variations of techniques. Hope you heal well and look forward to focusing the lens on you in the new year ~Peace~

@talkin-ape Год назад

You're welcome Sean, sorry to hear about your arm, hope it's back in action soon. I'd be interested to know if the techniques work for you, as we all do things so differently. I'd say mine came from a merging of Lee Stoffer techniques mixed with the type cuts we do on kuksas and bowls which some I'm sure I picked up from Alex Yerks, and probably others.

@stirwoodcraft Год назад

@@talkin-ape most of my initial techniques came from before any spoon videos were on RU-vid, using a right handed knife in my left hand, without realising it was wrong. 🤣 So had to translate to using my right hand when teaching.

@stirwoodcraft Год назад

@@Zedoutdoors thanks dude 💛

@benjamenplus10 Год назад

Awesome to see the both of you finally sitting down and doing this video - I know it's been talked about for quite some time and it was every bit as good as I thought it would be !! Richard is such a talented maker and constantly exploring design, technique and finish. I have a good handful of his spoons and can attest that as well as being beautifully functional they are works of art to behold. When will the next two videos be up ?

Hey Lisa I sincerely appreciate your kind words and indeed Richard was a delight to film, next two videos will be out this week me lady ~Peace~

@lindabond6482 Год назад

zeb, how does one make that chest protector that Mr Roberts was using.

@Zedoutdoors Год назад

Hi Linda, the technical name for the is 'Bodgers bib' or 'Spoon bib' and all being well i'll be doing a video on how to make one of those in a future video :) ~Peace~

@talkin-ape Год назад

It's relatively simple and can be done with just one thick piece of leather, or other non animal material. Mine has a hidden feature that improves it slightly, but isn't necessary.

@underoakhobbies858 Год назад

What are the spoons, bowls and the Mora painted with?

@talkin-ape Год назад

I use artists Acrylic paints. Milk Paints are also great too.

@Zedoutdoors Год назад

Hoping to do some videos on painting in the new year ~Peace~

@B-leafer Год назад

I noticed there seems to be somewhat of a fascination with using beechwood for carving spoons. Is that due to a large population of beechwood trees over there, or because it is relatively soft wood, easy to carve? I apologize for my ignorance. I appreciate your explicit teaching. It's really good.

@rubenv3026 Год назад

I'm not sure but it's definitely not because it's soft or easy to carve. It's quite hard. It's very pretty wood though

@Zedoutdoors Год назад

Beechwood is just one of many woods that are popular to carve here and as mentioned by Ruben it is a little on the harder side when carving. Reason why it's so popular amongst green woodworkers is because it gives a really nice finish once carved ~Peace~

@B-leafer Год назад

@@Zedoutdoors wow! I didn't mean popular necessarily just on your channel, but all over the place. It just seems very popular. Ok. That makes alot of sense. Ty so much! Peace.

@talkin-ape Год назад

I do love Beech, it gets very tough when dry, so best if you ever get any to carve it fresh. The piece in the vid turned out to be Horse Chestnut. I initially thought it was Beech due to the bark, but once split it was way too soft and pure white, with none of Beech's characteristic flecks amongst the grain.

@B-leafer Год назад

Unfortunate about the mansion. Lovely collection of hand carved spoons and such, anyone of which I would love to own (or carve lol).

@Zedoutdoors Год назад

Yes it's fascinating to learn more about the location and the history surrounding it ~Peace~

@talkin-ape Год назад

Thanks Jim, and yes a real shame, but at least we still have the Walled Garden, due to it's wonderful volunteers led by the amazing horticulturist Lois.

@MrOldclunker Год назад

Maybe I missed the type of wood he was using but I hope it wasn't Tree of Heaven.

@talkin-ape Год назад

I never actually said... At first due to look of the bark I thought it was Beech, but after we shot the video I remembered the wood I was using was Horse Chestnut, the good ole Conker Tree. It came from a huge wind fallen limb just outside the Garden's walls.
