awesome, i think i will try this. i accidentally snapped my brother's walnut spatula, i didn't tell him what happened to it 😁it will be perfect for a fork! at least this way i can weasel my way out of paying him back for the spatula i broke
I created a fork on my channel using power tools and then hand sanded it down to perfection to the finish thank you for sharing nicely done by for now Ken I look forward to hear from you
Hello Vladimir, I tried this fork Project but it failed because I wasn't gentle in shaping the 4 tines. I will try again one day. I want to make two forks to take camping in our caravan. Enjoy your channel very much. Thanks. Oh, I must comment on your English. You are doing well. Cheers Vernon
Thanks mate :-) hope it helps.. jus the carving plans are not ready yet lol. working on it right now.. It will be here: homewoodspirit.com/wood-carving-plans-for-beginners/ What are You working on these days mate? :-) Have a nice day.
Yes its nice right? :-) I feel instantly better when I am connected to the Nature. Thanks for the compliment lol. Do You think You will make Your own one? I use Totara which is native tree here in New Zealand. Lots of Maori traditional carvings are made from it but man its sooo expensive omg..and I cant find here any basswood/lime.. I would use as well some fruity trees like cherry or apple. They will be just harder to carve, but beautiful with their grain. :-) See You around
@@HomeWoodSpirit I'm from Slovenia, so we dont have this kind of wood. Maybe i'll do it from beech or something like that. You can do it from apple or cherry but you need to do it while its still fresh, its easier to carve. Keep up the good work.
@@TheFluffyG True it is easier to carve. :-) or walnut can work for You. Both the European and American black walnut. I tried to carve spoon from dry beech and it wasn't fun. :-) so maybe when its green its better like the fruity trees. Or Ive used Alder quite a lot back home in Czech republic. It is quite easy to carve it while dry. And the fork can be done from European lime, (US basswood) as well. Does wood carving have long tradition in Slovenia?
@@HomeWoodSpirit Or maybe birch, thats a nice wood to carve. In Slovenia we have something called "suha roba" or dry goods and everything is made from wood. I love the handy work but nowadays the make it in machines its rare to see a real wood carver. They are mostly found in Kocevje where the art is at its best. I wish I colud get my hands on some kauri wood, its very beautyful. There must be a lot of carvers in New Zealand?
@@TheFluffyG Nice one with the birch. Good on You :-) I see now what it meant traditional Slovenian woodenware. :-) very nice. We have similar traditions in Czech Republic and Slovakia. Also basket weaving has strong root in there. So are You from Ribnica? When I saw the map and remembered our family trips over Slovenia to Croatia and that region I wanted to go so bad omg :-)) It amazing part of the world. :) Honestly I am not very lucky here in NZ to find wood carvers. Lots of wood working guilds have older people interested in it which I really enjoy. But its just a few of them. My plan is to go to Rotorua which is a seed of Maori culture and I will try to make a video there and maybe stay couple of days to carve with them and learn or share some European stuff if I can..
Hi. This is made out from Totara. It is New Zealand Timber which grows only here or in Australia I believe. I would use walnut, alder or maybe some fruity trees like apple or plum while green. Where are You from? Every region has different options :-)
@@HomeWoodSpirit I am from Slovakia ja som začal tiež vyrezávať už dlhšie a teraz mám nové dláta a už som s nimi urobil vidličku ktorú som robil podľa teba fakt super fiky
I like how this guy is using tools I actually have. Most videos like this use a 1000$ band saw but this guy is doing a tutorial I can actually follow
Thanks for the heads up

This is awesome! I've been carving spoons and wanted to make a set and this is extremely helpful
I really appreciate it mate. :-) there is new video right now about how to carve an Eagle head if you are not subscribed. Maybe that helps :-)

Great work!
Thanks mate :-) hope it helps.. jus the carving plans are not ready yet lol. working on it right now.. It will be here: homewoodspirit.com/wood-carving-plans-for-beginners/
What are You working on these days mate? :-)
Have a nice day.
Thanks so much ,very detailed ,i think i can follow ur method to do one !
sure you can make one. ;-)
Do you use green or dry wood
Could you tell me the brand of this saw and where can I find it? Thank you.
it is just regular copping saw.
That looks fun! What does the oil do to it, and can I use like olive or canola oil?
these oils can get rancid. They protect the wood from water, but needs to be reapplied often due to washing.
@@HomeWoodSpirit Okay, so I can use olive oil? Or do I have to use the one you used in the video?
@@deannajohnson3933 I’ve been told that yes, you can use either. You’ll need to reapply the oils frequently after a couple of washings.
Very nice fork. I also love to do my carvings outside. What kinde of wood are you using here?

How long would you estimate it took you to carve one fork from beginning to end?
Hi Davide,
probably 1 hour
What knife do you use?
This was probably Flexcut KN13
Very late comment but you should fire harden the tips
Are you from Slovakia?
czechia ;-) and you?

Will extra virgin olive oil do the job?
Will get rancid. Linseed oil is best from what I know so far.
