Starting with a log instead of dried milled lumber is really cool. I admire the ax skill too. I'd like to try this; it would be very satisfying use a spoon that you'd made by hand.
Wow. Not every day do you find a relatively non-viral video that captivates you enough to watch over and over and over and...over again. I found it because your 2002 video got recommended to me and here we are. I've always wanted to take up woodworking but never have had the time and opportunity. This still looks fascinating to me. It looks like the wood is very easy to carve (for you). Is this because you keep your knives so sharp, or is it because the wood is super soft? The shaped little scooper one doesn't look like it is sharpened at all and yet it's getting some pretty amazing cuts on the inside.
Thanks! The wood is green, which is easier to carve than dry. The knives are very sharp. They are “sloyd” knives, designed for green wood carving. The wood is black Cherry. The bent knife is called a twca cam, Swedish spoon/bowl carving knife.
Really nice! I like the long cuts with the knife. Takeaway for me: My wood needs to be fresher and the knife even sharper. And: Love the Nic Westermann bowl/hook knife! ;-)
Just found your channel while trying to learn to spoon and kuska carve. Thanks for the lesson. When you say green wood I know that is newly cut but can you still carve it if it’s been cut for 4 months or is that to old?
Beautiful job thanks for showing us your skill . Greetings from Wales UK .
Now THAT is greenwood. Nice.

Beautiful carving work and enjoyed the video. Where can one get a hook knife like that?
Beautiful!! Just finished a spoon from birch, it would look better if I left it in the branch😂

Green wood is easiest but you can carve anything. Sometimes 4 months old is the sweet spot.
Can't handle the jangling in the background.
