They are wood gouges and they usually come in sets. You can buy them in a ton of places from hobby stores to dedicated wood carving stores. Edit: What he is intially using is a gouging axe or Adze.
@@CertifiedSunset actually that type of wood gouge is usually not part of a set. it's called a Swan Necked Gouge, sometimes a Bowl Gouge. they are almost always speciality items made by only a few makers. Nic Westermann is one, i think Hans Karlsson is another. there are a few blacksmiths on Etsy who do them as well.

not sure what Nord's process is but the key to avoid cracks (without using chemicals) is S L O W drying. Rathwulven Bushcraft is here on u-tube and has a full video on an excellent process: wrap your carving in _clean_ packing paper with its own wood chips, several layers of paper, and pack it into a small cardboard box filled with more bundled up paper and wood chips. un-pack and repack every few days at first (to avoid mold). after a week or so, redo it once a week. after a month or so your piece will be fairly dry. usually totally dry after two months if you live in a damp climate. i'm now doing this on my 3rd kuksa and it's worked very well each time.
Could probably fit another kuksa in the 2nd half if you planned it right and sawed it off rather than hack at it with an axe to bits but great work regardless
