Silent Carving | Saddle Topped Spoon 

I am surprised at how incredibly soothing it is to watch him with nothing more than the sound of his breathing and the sound of the knife and hatchet. It's like therapy.

I lost count of how many times I thought "Stop! You're going to split it if you... oh, ok, I see, yes, that's right, you know what you are doing and I don't."

I have never in my life seen such consistent and accurate work with an axe.

I bet if they put the word "ASMR" in the title, this video would've gotten at least 3 times the views. It definetly deserved more views, that's some great work.

Silence from someone who knows what they are doing is a great teacher.

There's something fascinating and relaxing about watching an artist who knows exactly what he's doing. He's in full control of the situation the entire time.

Watched this video a week ago, now all I do in my free time is carve spoons. Never knew how addicting carving and whittling could be.

Such a pleasure to watch. No talking, adds, music. Keep up the good work. Made me realize my knife needs sharpening.

Get a piece of wood. Remove all the notaspoon.

I saw a lump of firewood, he saw a spoon.

I never thought I’d want to carve a spoon until now. That’s beautiful

*Wife walks in* Wife: Why are you watching a guy carve a wooden spoon? Me: *squints eyes* I don't know.

I think this might be the first video i've seen on youtube that doesn't start out with "hey guys..." and 5 minutes of babbling. More channels need to adopt this format! No talk, just work! I drank a beer and watched the man work in peace. Thanks for the upload!

Never seen such accuracy with an axe and a knife. ATB .

Rule number one about spoon club. U do not talk about spoon club

Pure craftsmanship. A pleasure to watch.

thank you. i just love the silent carving. just the sound of the metal into the wood. thanks again

Me at 4 min: “Good enough! Time to eat!”

No ads, no annoying music, just a skilled artisan and his wooden spoon

I never understood the attraction to carving a spoon, until I carved my first two spoons. The first one was alright, but the second one is an absolute staple in my kitchen. I carved it out of white oak, and its the most durable utensil in our drawer.

What a joy to watch such a craftsman. He's so proficient that he makes the whole process look easier than it actually is. Absolutely no word or music required. His hands say everything. I'm a complete novice so tutorials like these are so valuable and appreciated. Looking forward to seeing more of the same. Many thanks 👍

Impressive especially when you know the tools used are incredibly sharp and must be maintained that way to make it work. Control of the blade edges and using the grain structure to achieve the end result is an art form that can’t be taught from a book. Obviously feeling the spoon emerge and envision of the piece is apparent.

I love when the algorithm blesses me these gems ,these absolute treasures.

This man made a spoon in 28 minutes. I attempt this and an hour later I have a pile of shavings and a crooked stick. Always nice to see a true artisan at work.

Title: Silent Carving Video: Chop chop chop chop chop

Did I just spend almost 30 minutes watching a man carve a spoon from wood? Yes. Do I regret it? No.

I am A) a person who usually watches videos in 1.75 -2x speed. B) a person who often checks their phone while watching videos And C) a person who usually needs to get up and snack on something or move around while watching videos... While watching this video I did NONE of that... I just watched. And my breath slowed, and my heart warmed, and I felt a little more human. So... thank you for that, I didn't realize how much I needed it.

A real joy to watch this craftsman at work. Thank you for sharing

The silence is golden. I know you don't wake up wanting to be a perfectionist, but you manipulate it well. New sub, first watch. Thanks.

Hey honey we ran out of clean spoon can you turn on the dish washer “Give me 30 mins I get you a spoon”

The thing that brings me back to this video over and over again is that he grabs a tool once and when he is done with it, he's done with it. (pre-hollowing the bowl doesn't count.) Compact effort. No waste.

Every single movement is calculated. A pleasure to watch so much skill in such a short amount of time. 🙏

When they forgot to bring spoon for picnic. Hold my beer:

This got me started spoon carving. I've done three so far, and I love it! It takes me 3 hours to make something like that, but of course, not as pretty, lol.

Beautiful small muscle control behind a finely polished Edge. It's a pleasure to watch quality work.

A piece of wood. Only three sharp hand tools. Any drawing on the wood but a good eye and a lot of knowledge. = a beautiful spoon. Thank you for this video ! And thank you for NOT adding any kind of music, just let us hear the quiet sound of woodworking without power tools.

wow, that was quick ! takes me at least a day, lovin those curls, great vid.

Love this silent carving, really insightful and fantastic to see barn’s process!

A 5 minutes 55 seconds in he has already beaten my best efforts by a mile. This is really wonderful stuff, and will defo get me back into carving

Haven't seen spoons carved since I was a kid, up in Western North Carolina area. I've seen whole place-sets carved, but it's been over 50-years ago. That hickory he's carving made me think of that, right off the start...

Thank you sir, For such an engaging demonstration. I was enthralled to watch, and the sounds of you working was wonderful too

No messing about. Now that's what I call a good job. Credit to you sir. Like a proper woodsman, you let the wood tell you where to go with it. Enjoyed this video very much, thank you.

Marvellous!! The spoon was there.. you "just" freed it from the surrounding wood.. Fantastic work.

This video is a lesson on making a spoon… and on making a YT video. No dumb music, or wasteful filler talk. Just life in action from a master.

Wow, thanks for sharing your talent! You've inspired me to try this. So many times I couldn't believe what you did in a single stroke of a blade.

I absolutely adored the way this spoon was carved. Such knowledge and dedication. Thank you.

Just carving, no talking! You are the man! Thanks Master !

He made this look incredibly easy. My new favorite video.

Excellent video! A true master of spoon carving! I watched in silence and amazement! You my friend have gift! God bless! Thanks for sharing! J-Ray Victoria, Texas

Absolutely hypnotizing from beginning to end! I am inspired. Thank you

Wow! This was like watching Michelangelo. Skilled hands and a perfect eye. I was in awe for 28 minutes.

This obviously "ain't" your first rodeo bro! Nice! I enjoy watching an artist work no matter what the medium

Never imagined you'd get that much detail using a hatchet! Really amazing control!

Very much appreciated watching you carving a spoon, mister. And got aware I really need to sharpen my knife.... ;-) thanks for the inspiration

Screw ASMR with their weird whispering and amplified noises, this is pure bliss... Just watching a master craftsman, no music, no talking, just a guy and his piece of wood

Watched this video before carving my first spoon. Then again after my fifth. Now again after my 60th. Each time I’m learning a whole world of new things. Masterful.

Thanks! This was fun to watch. Excellent tool technique and wonderful lines and curves in this work of art.

I think he most probably can carve a spoon just with his nails! Amazing talent and self confidence. I was waiting to see the hollowed portion go for a hike. He just kept on chopping away my doubts.

Never thought I'd be mesmerized by someone making a spoon with an axe! What artistry.

Never seen such control and accuracy with an axe. Amazing. Love the lack of talking and just the pure display of clearly hard earned skill.

I tried this, and now they call ME , "NINE" !!!

Wow! This is the second time I’ve watched in just a few days. It’s a pleasure to see the skill and confidence in your hands. A really effective video. Thank you so much

Its amazing to watch a true hands craftman, make a spoon and cause to have alot of appreciation at his skills.

Very nice work, I really appreciate your skill and patience. Nice to see the old craftsmanship methods are still alive.

Hats off Sir for this good moment of relaxation...and your skill to! that's so rare to see someone doing things like that 👍👍

For having not spoken a word, this guy sure had a chip on his shoulder!🤣 Well done sir!😁

I massively admire your confidence and accuracy with a hand axe. Simply one tool I never had the confidence to learn

It's a joy watching someone do something they really love and become totally engaged. Thank you for sharing your talent. The spoon is lovely.

Dang dude! You have some serious hatchet skills. I went outside this after watching your video and tried it. I ended up with a pile of kindling

It's like one of these paintings that's upsite down and when the artist flips it over you're like "Oh, that's what that's supposed to be!"

Best spoon carving video yet. Loved it. Great job 👍

No music, no stupid adds, no 5 minute intros, just letting the video speak for itself, true craftsmanship

Love the lapel mic. This is how most of them should be used. Great skills

I'm sorry when I put a axe or a hatchet in my hand I turned into caveman. You are gifted it's a work of art good job and video

VERY impressive and hipnotic. Enjoyed the your skill. The smoothness of every stroke ...very nice. Thanks for sharing.

This feels like meditation, watching you make this spoon 🥄

One of the coolest carving videos I’ve ever watched. Your attention to detail is like no other ! Absolutely awesome work! Are these spoons available for purchase ?

Friggin amazing axe skill. Edit. And with everything else.

A Master Woodcarver at work. WOW!

Truly, a craftsman. I loved it.

Thanks for sharing your talent. You have inspired me to do better. At the very least, to sharpen my tools.

I have a sneaking suspicion that he's done this before.

Wonderful work! You're so comfortable with those tools! I have to say, you've done a great job in maintaining them; they look sharp as anything!

This is perhaps one of the best spoon carving videos online. No stupid and useless yaking, only efficiently and results! 👍🏻

When he starts the bowl with the axe, i hold my breath. The I remember it's Barn, and I breathe again!

this is such a great video in so many ways, the best part actually is that barn is using a cheap bahco axe. i see sooooo many people go nuts about having to get the most fancy and expensive handforged carving axe and so on. But in reality you can make beautiful spoons with simple cheap tools

Can't believe how steady he is, and how he uses such sharp tools without gloves. I would whittle my fingers down to bloody stumps if I tried this.

Jeez, the amount of control he has with those tools is incredible. I’ve never seen someone axe out a blank so fast and so clean.

oh the joys of a sharp tool who needs words when art is created . nice scout hat btw ..god bless you and your family my friend

😲 He is SOO precise with that axe..

Beautiful work! What a craftsmanship!

Usable spoon in 10 minutes followed by 20 minutes of making it look great. Amazing job!

It all started with a piece of wood and an ax. I think I’ll make a spoon today.

This man:WHY HAVE IKEA WHEN I HAVE A PIECE OF WOOD

I very much like these designs. Saddle top spoons look especially cool. Great job. Cheers

Such precision! I'm amazed. Well done.

7:25 The BOSS of all the Spooncutters =)))

They say he carved it himself, from a bigger spoon.

Silent Carving: 28 minutes of pure happiness

What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship!
