Kolrosing on a Wooden Spoon 

You know this already Dave but worth mentioning that its also important to seal in the kolrosing afterwards with oil to let it seal. Also its worth checking out a guy called 'Adam Hawker' to see some of the finest kolrosing on a spoon you'll ever see. Great video as always my man ~Peace~

Dave, thanks for a great little video and sharing a bit about my Spoon Design Kit. Kolrosing is loads of fun and you've got the right attitude, it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful or even stunning. I apply a thin coat of oil and allow it to dry before kolrosing, which helps a bit with keeping the pigment from going into the grain elsewhere.

I'm so enjoying DRS, and as always, appreciate the lessons, the ideas, and the philosophy!

Fantastic Work & Tool Dave. Keep up the great work. Nick.

Great video. In fact it is beautiful when you can see the potential of the wood. I really appreciate that the video starts without having to see 30 to 60 seconds of the same introduction every time. Thanks for everything you do for our interests in life.

Interesting technique, thanks for sharing!

Very nice! Cool with the charcoal!

Awesome stuff brother! Thanks for sharing Dave!

Always learn a lot from your videos. Thanks.

It's been said the lessons learned from a failure make a bigger impression than those form a success . Nice work sir.

very cool Dave, and it looks perfect just the way it is because if it was a piece of art you probly would never use it as its intended to be used.

another great video dave thx again!! I am just beginning in all of this & your vids have helped me a ton along the way. I try a project right after I watch a vid. thx again!!

Great stuff! I had no idea Kolrosing was a thing! Interesting to know it might be the pre-cursor to scrimshaw! Good talking to you on Facebook Spoon Carvers as well!

Very cool. I've done scrimshaw, but never kolrosing. Gonna give 'er a try now though!

That's really cool Dave. I like stuff that's imperfect and has defects. Like I told Krik from black owl outdoors, it makes it look like a human (in this case the common man) did it. Thanks for passing on the knowledge. Take care

Dave, I think you're more of an artisan than you take credit for. Keep up the great work. I tried my hand at making a spoon today out of 1x2, it was dry white fir and was far from pretty. Next time I think I'll try pine.

Nice spoon, Dave!

Dave, for some of these small tool handles an old golf ball, with a hole drilled in it, works well.

i was trying to think of a question but you just said it all thanks man. and that is a really beautiful spoon.

Its alot like setting the pattern in leather. Thanks for show us this.

That's what I like about a small Xacto set.

This looks like something I would like to try soon.

going to give this a try but am concerned that the black stuff will smere with the sealant. Have you sealed one yet. Thanks for all your great videos.

Thats great ! Il try it some time on a spoon. I just got my self an old blower forge made in Canada and an anvil.

great video as always!

Very neat! Would it mess up the temper in the tool to heat it up and use it like a wood burning pen?Jason

I have been thinking of a way to decorate the spoons I make. This looks like a good idea. How does the wood or coal ash hold up if some kind of finish like mineral oil is applied? Thanks for the idea.

That's pretty cool. Just like to tell ya that I love watching your videos. They keep me entertained while I'm out on the road. I really appreciate what you do and your skills.

Great video Dave ! Thanks again for all the knowledge sharing you do on here :)

great video Dave, I've this once or twice for lettering and I used cinnamon from the kitchen for the pigment it works well

as always great info Dave could you post where I can find some of the info on sylode?

you could use inner bark from a birch too.

I've never heard of this, really cool and interesting.

I used to do that a bit when I was a kid. I did not know it had a name for it, ha.

I like carving ( not very good at it ) but all the same, this would be fun to try and ad to carving as well.

Thanks, -- Clark

How about scrimshaw on a beaver tooth or yote canine? Those would be the largest in our area that are legal.

I don't know... I think that mallet may have been a little too small for the task.

Outstanding

if you use the inner bark from birch you get a red coulor, samish way to do it.

looks like you got a ham hock in man, never knew you dipped.

you are now learning what real "fine carving" skills are all about. feather sticks are not fine tasks. its a gross motor skill on a basic wood working level. what you did in thi svideo is what i call fine carving tasks. well done boss.

I'll have to try that on My walking stick!

Dave, buddy, using that grinder without its tool rest is asking to mangle a finger someday.

Nice

Hey, we artisans are ordinary guys too :)

Are you going to trap this year at all?

Nice Dave, I would have crushed the coal to keep the abrasion down

That’s cool

couldn't you do the same thing with your knife point?

I cringed when I clicked on the video... "Kolrosing on a Wooden Spoon"... hopefully is not one of those fail videos with a lot of gore...

I've never heard of this, really cool and interesting.
