How To Carve A Whale Shaped Scoop - Chris Allen 

Check out this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MyVWRdRQ3XI.html

I love your way of caving the way you teach is very simple bit very accurate I live in the USA and it's very hard to find people that carve it's almost impossible there is so much pleasure in it I think it's very important for is as people to know these skill sets I just wanted to thank you brother for sharing your art and skill whit us and know there is people out here that really do appreciate what you have given and shard whit us the only big Regret 😀 I have is I wish I had picked this skill up earlier in my life

Chris is such a talented carver and a great teacher. I've learned so much. Thanks for this Zed.

Great tutorial and so satisfying to watch. Looks like your cutting through butter with a hot knife. Can't tell if it's the quality of wood, the quality of knife or quality of craftsmanship. I suspect it's a mixture of all three. As a complete novice, much of this is well outside my pitifully limited skill set, but these kinds of tutorials are invaluable. Many thanks guys. Keep these videos coming. If nothing else, it literally lowers my hypertension. And I do mean literally. 😃

Not only does he have great carving skills he's also a great teacher, he's passing on knowledge to future generations. I've worked with some very skilled and knowledgeable people who had no teaching ability, which is a shame because their knowledge will go with them to the grave and no one benefits. Teaching is a gift, and he's got it..

Thanks for sharing your skills with the masses. The time flew by.

awesome video, love how Chris explains every detail, plz make more vids with him.

Again, a lot of time and effort has gone into this one Zed, from both yourself and Chris. Both of you deserve a big pat on the back, great job. Craig

Awesome video, thanks Chris for takin ng the time out to do it 👍

Chis does a great job explaining as he progresses through the video. Yes very well done.

Love your long and goooood videos! I feel privileged and thankful! To Chris Allen too! Goooood lads!

What a great bloke, very easy to listen to and understand. Top video Zed, thanks!

What a beautiful tutorial! What a craftmanship. It's a longview, but a mustsee for anyone who loves outdoor living and spending some quiet time with some wood, some tools and a lot of time. It's for sure a healing process! Thanks a bunch Zed! Peace out! (oh, and sure I'm following Chris now!)

first time I have seen a looped bladed carving knife, that little thing can really get some work done, especially in the hands of a master like this guy!!!

Zed, always great to see your video's, feel free to make them 2 hours long or more if you want; it was fascinating, calming and a true learning experience watching Chris work.

Jesus finished my first spoon of this design. thank you for the amazing tutorial. wish I could upload a foto

Great video, Chris is a very talented craftsmen and explains what he is doing in a very clear manner, definitely should do more with him.

Thank you Chris and Zed, thoroughly enjoyed that and lots of tips stored in the memory bank 👍

Many thanks for a truly excellent video. I'm going to be checking out the links given. I'd never seen one of the scorp tools before what a beautiful thing. I used to turn olive wood years ago until it became silly prices. It has a feel similar to wet wood and was a joy to work. When i used to go to Greece and see them burning huge amounts of it on their stoves it was heart wrenching. You are a talented man Chris, thanks mate

Hi Zed. Many thanks for another awesome instructional video and a big thumbs up for Chris. Best wishes.

Thank you Zed! Chris's instruction was a game changer!!!

Another great video, Chris is a great teacher.

I like this video. Please make more. Thanks for this great tutorial. Greetings from Tanzania 👋🌞😎

Great work guys! - Well done getting that tongue-twister-title out! - Again, a fantastically educational, entertaining and beautifully artistically produced video! What a lovely lump of birch wood with such straight grain! Really good, clear instructions from Chris too! Awesome! A big thumbs up from me!

Great video and amazing skills and ability to convey them in clear fashion. I will watch this many times!

another great instructional video Zed. & chris. thanks

Really good video tutorial. Enjoyed both your company for a nice hour or so. Thank You from Canada!!!

One again an excellent tutorial! Thanks to you both👏

An excellent video was well done with very detailed informative explanations by Chris that were also enjoyable, thanks so much.

Thanks again. Really well done to both of you.

This is an amazing video. I have learned so much and I can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much.

That was awesome!

I live here in Alaska, his whale’s tail inspires me to add them to some of the larger spoons I carve. Nicely done!

This is an incredible channel with so much detail. Thank you.

Amazing skills you are showing and sharing with us! Thank you so very much for this excellent and very interesting and highly enjoyable YT Video of yours sir! Wishing you all the Best!

Nice to see you both again from Alaska

Another great video Zed. Some really good close-ups there, really easy to see what is going on Also hats off to Chris - well executed but more importantly well explained.

Awesome work , Thanks for the video !

I love that Whaletail scoop thats awesome that would be an Awesome idea for a Kuksa also.

I love how all these great carvers still use a $30 Mora 106

Thanks for share. Greetings from Colombia, South America .

What a skilled and helpful chap. Good informative video. Thank you both.

I like to really thank you for doing this video and as i was watching you cuting and your carving the wood in to that little bowl. Got me thanking thats a some work i like to more about. That was some nuce carving.

Nice, Zed. His mora makes me realize I need to brush up on my sharpening.

This is stunning - it's so fascinating to watch it take shape! Very informative :)

Awesome!

enjoyed Chris's instructional techniques

Great video Zed. I think making scoops was a great video idea. Thanks again. - Josh

Excellent instructional video.

great design and nice work...thx

Fantastic Video...

Thanks Zed, finally, something I can make. Just the right amount of info. Good man, holding your comments in check :).

Thank you for your time

Another great one Zed Danial

Brilliant. Thank You 🙏

Nice zed when you give us a shelter video we’re all waiting patiently my friend 👍🏻

I can hear his voice in a woodcarving documentary! " WORTH STOPPING SO I DIDNT GET ANY KETCHUP ON MY WORK" The quote of the month for me

Great video as usual Zed! There are few channels out there that gets as many various skilled people on so many different topics. Having said that, I do miss watching you craft stuff yourself. There’s just sonething about someone who, like me, is not an expert trying things out and talking about what worked, and least as important; what didn’t work. I know you are a busy man, but in a perfect world where time wasn’t a factor, I’d love for you to do a follow-up video after visiting a skilled craftsman, where you’d try to recreate the project as a relatively newbie like us watching :) A lot of things that the professionals do seem easy, but often aren’t. And you often learn more from mistakes, than from watching someone do it perfectly. At any rate, thanks for bringing all these skilled people to our attention. Very interesting! Keep up the good work! :)

Really Beautiful

If you see someone work on IT like does,you know hé had skills Thanks for showing Zed Belgian bushcrafter Steve

Great watching this. Thanks.

Nice one I like the tool. Let me know how to get one. Excellent craftsmanship

Now I need to buy a scorp for my small cup carving.

i like it i,m going to try to make as good

Love it. Awesome job and thank you for sharing with us. ATB -Yves

Such a nice video. Thank you. How often does he strop and sharpen his knife?

Hi Zed, kindly let us know how does Chris get that polish and mirror finish on his Mora 106. Also, if you please can make some episode(s) about top tier sharpening/honing of carving knives/axes etc... Thank you so much for all you do. Big Fan :)😉

Really enjoyed this project well done and explained can you suggest where to buy the scorp? tool Thanks

This is great - love the detail. Thank you! Chris, have you ever added eyes to the whale? (Maybe with Kolrosing?)

Chris Allen should practice carving with both hands. Like I had to cause I bought a Japanese knife set and three of the knives are kiridashi. So i had to relearn carving with my right hand. Makes things much easier now and safer for some cuts. Barely need to cut towards me cause I can just switch hands

Lindo seu trabalho.

Hi Chris, it was really helpful what you did in the video. where can you buy the Scoop tool? Thanks.

Hi zed nice one buddy

Excellent stuff guys...And *THIS* is why the wife doesn't allow me to play with sharp objects...I'd end up with no thumbs and lacerated digits.

Love your video, thanks for posting. I'll make a few. But, just curios, why not use a saw instead of the hatchet to rough cut out the wood? I have a great deal of respect for hatchets, axes, etc and I think I'll just use a saw. Thanks again.

Nice axe. I have a 330g axe that I am working on my first kuksa. It is heavy on my hands. The axe he's using seems light.

How long does it take to dry? And how long does it take for a kuska to dry?

nice

Your cuttings look alot more precise than others even though you go with head of the axe against then grain..huh

What is this knife used to hollow out the Scoop? I need exactly such a knife and would like to know where to buy. Many Thanks Greeting André

Im never sure when I watch these. Are they using super soft, green wood? Or are there knives the sharpest in the world? HAVE YOU SEEN THE KNIFE SHAVINGS HE DOES!? I shave with my knives and I cant get clean cuts like that. Maybe if I use juicy sappy pine ... then maybe.

Great video as usual, Zed! I have one question though. If one was to replicate this whale scoop and sell it on a market, is it called plagitarism?

Klasse Arbeit! Wo kann man so ein "Löffel-Messer" kaufen?

Great instructional videos but, if I may, position your camera to a first person perspective. I have seen these In guitar training videos. It is the view from theirs eyes, sort of over the shoulder. But still very informative...✌

HI! Tell me please, where to buy the knife for spoon dent? Thank you!

I am going to make a kuksa in the same style

Are those scorps stainless or high carbon steel please. I can't afford to buy one so having a small workshop in my garage sooooo I'll have a bash at making one

Молодец ,хорошая работа

Beacsue he carved it out of green wood wont it warp as it dries?

Nise Video! You know where can i buy a knife like that?

I also couldn't understand what type of oil you used I need it spelled out

Do you sell your works stateside? If you do what do you make and prices.

Can someone tell me the name of the spoonknive? I can only find some ''hock knives''.

Where can I get one of those scorp knifes?

How do you sharpen the carving tools

what wood is this
