Spoon Carving - Part 1- Axe Work | Andy Spoons 

Thanks Andy for the great video I am beginning to feel more confident just watching this. You make this very inspiring for a brand new spoon carver

Andy thanks for such a brilliant explanation and visual presentation AGAIN!

GREAT job for your first time! Hahaha😂 always a pleasure watching an expert work. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the series.

Thanks

Hi Andy, thanks a lot for these videos, they really are worth watching! Do you plan to show also some other types of spoons, spatulas, butterknifes etc.?

I would like to see the finished product, then the ax work to get there. I was surprised to see the crank and bowl on the bark side.

You watch a video. Then you watch the video again. And again. And again. And maybe you watch other videos. THEN, one day you notice that not only does that chopped-off angle at the one end of the billet help keep your fingers out of the way of the axe, but it also forms the crank and the bowl. I'm not ready to buy an axe yet. I finished my first spoon yesterday (I put it on fb if anybody's interested). And you DON'T want to know how I got rid of the excess wood You DON'T want to know how I carved the bowl out. You DON'T want to know how I shaped everything else. But I finished it and it's BEAUTIFUL.

Hello I'm a beginner in spoon making. made 4 so far with improvised tools so to speak. without going hogwild cost wise I'm looking to "upgrade" do you have recommendations for axes and drawknives.
