Additionally I bought a pair of cut resistant gloves for protection, and a Victorinox swiss army knife Camper model with a wood saw (just in case because frankly, I've never owned a pocket knife, just x-acto knives for modelling and diorama making).

@lespaul36 2 года назад

I like how you treat a situation. Reminds me of "Happy little accidents" from Bob Ross. I tried carving a long time ago, but got frustrated and quit. I decided to try it again so I have been watching your videos. With learning about restoring straight razors, your vids about how those blade angles being about as shallow as a straight razor, being wiser about woods to use, and starting slow this time, I think I may stand a chance LOL. Thanks for the content, besides it being informative, it is relaxing to watch.

@CarvingisFun 2 года назад

You're welcome! Being patient with yourself while doing any subtractive carving is important. I had to learn this when I started stone carving as some of the happy little accidents were due to imperfections in the stone. Im glad you are enjoying the videos and getting back into whittling!

That was actually a good mistake to make for us viewers. We got to see how to fix something in case it comes up in the future. I like to use tung oil on my spoons which cures, and hardens to a nice finish. I also, now get my wood from nature- fallen branches, and sometimes cut offs from a cabinet shop. Free wood is great! But I've checked to make sure it is nontoxic before using.

I've been wanting to try whittling since I was about 9. However I had no idea where to start. You have given me a lot of inspiration and I ordered 3 flex cut knives and a beaver craft strop like you suggested. I have some vet wrap. I'm just having a really hard time finding the DEX FIT gloves and the wood. I think I need medium gloves because that's the size of disposable gloves I needed for my work. For wood, I need a little board like you show in this video because it's not actually a spoon I want to make, but more of a spatula ....(a very specifically shaped spurtle) that I want to make, (or a lot of them if it goes well). I'm guessing maple would be best for durability, but I think still not too difficult to find if I find out where to look. Do you have any suggestions for where I can find the gloves and the food grade board? I've had no luck so far looking online. I've been trying to order from home. Do you suggest Home Depot for both? I'm in Canada. Last time I was in a store I seem to remember having a lot of difficulty determining the type of wood and if it was safe for well....parrot toys, but equally as important now for the wood to be safe for people too. Thank you very much for your inspiration, advice and helpful tips!🦜💕

@CarvingisFun 2 года назад

Howdy! For the gloves, most kitchen supply stores and hardware stores will have slice resistant gloves of varying types. I would start there. The wood can more difficult for you up there. Bamboo boards, linden, poplar, cherry, and walnut are popular option and can be ordered from many different types of wood from popular hardware stores. You can also check out Lee Valley for some great options in your neck of the woods as well.

What has been your experience with dry or wet/fresh wood? i have been carving into dry wood and find that its takes sooo long. My first spoon probably took me about 8 hrs

@CarvingisFun 2 года назад

Wet wood has usually been more enjoyable to carve into over dry wood, especially the harder stuff like cherry and walnut. The only downside is that I have had some of the spoons carved while wet split on me while drying. If you can source the wood while wet and master the process, I would stick with it. Otherwise, you can do it dry like I do and take your time on it.

@CarvingisFun 2 года назад

The level 5 is the most basic slice resistant gloves on the market, but really it is all you need if you are getting started. They won't protect you for all cuts and pokes, but they will minimize the injury. The best way to prevent cuts is to practice proper blade control, the gloves are there to help you with the learning curve and prevent accidents along the way as well as when you hyper focus on the project and forget where your fingers are (like I do).

@CarvingisFun 11 месяцев назад

I initially shape the knife cutting edge angle with 600-800 grit stone, then start to refine the edge with 800-1000 grit stone, then I bring it to a 2000 grit stone to pre hone the edge and get rid of the burr that forms on the edge. Finally, I take it to my leather strop to hone it crazy sharp and for the most part I keep it honed on the strop every 20-30 min of whitting.

What’s the best size wood for carving a spoon?

@CarvingisFun Год назад

For a standard size spoon, I foind that an 8" x 2.25" x 1" block of wood is a good place to start.

the handle should be curved for better manipulation with food especially soup

@CarvingisFun 2 года назад

This is true!

@@CarvingisFun my first spoon was also with narrow handle, next one i did curved, it is more difficult but looks a lot better :)

do i need a susific type of wood or i can do it with any wood i got

@CarvingisFun 8 месяцев назад

You can technically use any wood you have, just some are easier to work with than others and some are too soft to actually use in the end. My favorites are Cherry and Walnut as while they are 2 to 3 times harder than basswood, they look great and are super durable in comparison.
