Having a mooch around near the debris shelter looking for a piece of wood to practice the art of spoon carving on, came across this piece of spalted Ash to try out some real time axe work techniques on.
Am always curious to see what`s inside a log, so split it apart and took a peek, a little poke with the axe to strip the bark off, then thought I ought to be filming this! ACTION! What you see is a real time take of how I went about turning this piece of Ash into a spoon blank, ready for attack with knives. I have taken liberties with the editing, to try to make it more interesting for you, changing angles, zooming in or panning ect, but the time line is pretty accurate, in fact I am slowed down by the filming and taking time to explain what I am doing, and more importantly why I am doing it that way.
I have learnt these skills by watching other spoon carvers, lots of practice and developing my own interpretation of the process. hope you find it useful, and please subscribe to not miss more content like this. Thanks for watching.

I like the way you casually run through what are observing in relation to what need to do. It’s like I am there with you while I have a my cuppa tea. 😀

Every piece of wood is unique and tried to show that you work with it rather than imposing a fixed shape onto it. Thanks for taking a look. 👍

Thanks for commenting Scott, wouldn`t say I am in a majority, but have met far more left handed carvers than I would have expected, which is odd.😜

​@@mark.a.cornishMark, there's a reason for that - since teachers stopped BEATING left-handedness out of their pupils (the stigma of left-handedness endured all the years I was in school - 1961-1973) left-handedness has been increasing. In 1981 I was in an airline booking office. There were 6 of us including the four agents on duty. Four of us were left-handed... Also, one needs to be careful about labeling yourself left-handed because you WRITE with your left hand. So do I but I also do stuff with my right hand.

@@susanp.collins7834 I must of had an open minded teacher as was allowed to do everything left handed until I began playing cricket. The fielding team have to move everything around to adapt to you whenever you face the bowler and the PE teacher would not let me. Had to play right handed and consequently was never very good at it, but hold a bat right handed anyway. This had led to some unusual adaptions, I fish right handed for instance and carry things on my right shoulder...all because of a PE teacher. It is interesting!

Tangentially split from a larger lump of ash, and probably about 1/3rd of the log, think it ended up being bark up 👍

Do intend to make more spoon carving stuff, and dive into kuksa`s and bowls as well. Carve spoons in a couple of other video`s ....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JsB_ZcZGkFM.html and towards the end of this one.......ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qpVwBxpA5Qg.html but plenty more on the way.

@mark.a.cornish
@mark.a.cornish Месяц назад
I have never heard any reason to not use any of the walnut family. It is an exotic wood in the UK but have carved with English Walnut from a blown down tree. I think Yew is the only wood I would not make eating utensils from. Hope that helps😀

😁I know, a lot of people think you can`t learn skills without having the best kit. Very partial to this axe though, bought when I was 18 and had a lot of use before power tools took over. It does not look very bushcrafty though and have a rusty kent pattern head I want to refurb and put a handle on, should make for good content and encourage people to look a bit closer at old tools as well.😄👍. Thanks for commenting. appreciate it👍

Patrick, I recently made my first spoon. I don't have any of the stuff that Cosmic Law decrees you MUST have for spoon-making - axes, saws, hook-knives, sloyds, whatever. I used a wood carving gouge to carve the bowl. I used my Swiss Army Knife for such whittling as I actually did. I used an AWFUL LOT of sandpaper, notably p40. I think I may have used my teeth to chew in the finer detail at some stage or other. My spoon came out BEAUTIFULLY and I USE it. Tea, porridge, stew, allsorts. This evening I used it to dig into a container of yoghurt...

@@susanp.collins7834 Congratulations on the first spoon! I'm starting to collect different specialty knives and they do make carving easier. I still use gobs of sandpaper too. Totally love how they feel and don't care if I'll be accepted at the upper echelons of the spoon world. It's such a rewarding hobby. I give most of mine away and people love them

@@patrickgatons An old carpenters trick is to finish your sanding then wipe with a damp rag, this raises the fibres slightly. When dry repeat the final sanding and you will have a smoother spoon that bristles up less when in contact with liquids. Try burnishing as well, rubbing a smooth stone or even a metal spoon over the surface and pressing hard to squash down the fibres. It will give sanded spoons a little more "shine". always enjoy the process though, it`s about the mindfulness for me, just a bonus that sometimes end up with a spoon as well.😀
