I was enthralled for the entire 30 minutes. Beautiful work!
wow!
Thanks for that video! I definitely gonna build this mule.
Lots of great tips, thank you!
Awesome informative and easy to watch video…thank you!
Bloody well done mate 👍🏻👍🏻
i always wanted to make a spoon mule , thanks for sharing
Here is the video on how to make the spoon mule: th-cam.com/video/0gixsG2lUbk/w-d-xo.html
I took up spoon carving about two years ago. One tip that I happened upon with my carving log is to use a chisel and remove some 1/2” deep gouges in the top of the log and that allows your spoon to sit right down in the groove and the spoon won’t jump around while you’re removing large bits with the axe. Also good for keeping your spoon from slipping and your hand from getting chopped. Looks great! We now regularly see spoon carvers at our local farmers markets so it’s good to see more carvers out there.
Nice work friend
Great job
Always carve in green wood and let the rough-carved spoon dry out, wrapped in cloth before final finishing. Dry wood is much harder to carve and splits much easier!
Great setup with the mule. I made one too, more like a module that I can bolt onto a worktable, but it works for me!
If I can suggest something, you may want to look at Veritas miniature spokeshave. I own one and use it for making dry-wood spoon and spatulas. It's surprisingly capable!
Very good video. I am guessing that the wood for spoons as most other crafts. The wood is seasoned approx. 1yr per in of thickness . After seeing how well the spoon mule works . I will be adding an attachment to my shaving horse . Thanks again .
I make spoons. I've always done mine on a shave horse with a drawknife. However, I use a custom made drawknife that is about 6" wide. I have better control with the smaller drawknife. But, I'm thinking of changing to a spoke shave. I'm also wanting to build a spoon mule.
The video is out on How to Build the Spoon Mule, also with Fred: th-cam.com/video/0gixsG2lUbk/w-d-xo.html
nice
Hi Fred, may I suggest the use of a Bow Saw and a Vice for cut out your Spone Blanks. The Idea comes from Roy Oversale
Split a piece of pecan right through the bowl yesterday..
The mule looks great. Peeling wood is so satisfying whether spitting fire wood, fine carving or wood turning. Goof for the soul. The band saw blade looks a little aggressive. A finer blade say 6TPI would be a better cut for these pieces

@@WoodcraftSupply Thanks
Great video! Recommendations for a carving axe? I've shopped them, but unsure abound which bevel is best. I'm right handed.
All the product links are listed above in the description including the axe.
Gransfors Bruks Swedish carving axe is a phenomenal tool. I use the double beveled one. Very very sharp but very useful.
Where to get one of those small spokeshaves?
Or better yet, a good tutorial to make one?
Some good pics from various angles would suffice. I couldn't tell with you waving it about, but lt looked like the tangs came into the body from the back rather than the bottom, is that correct?
There are links to all of the tools used in the description.
👍👍👍👍
Do you have plans for the spoon mule?
Do you make these as a kit and ship them un assembled?
Do you have plans to build the spoon mule? I don't see them in your article.
We are working on the video on How to Build a Spoon Mule with Fred. Should be done by end of August 2021. I'll add the link when completed in the description above, keep checking! Thanks!

Does the head have to be fastened down just curious.
The head is locked in with a wedge, but can be moved and locked along the mule body for your positioning/size needed.
What is the length and thickness of your legs 🦵 and you angle at the top.
What a great work shop! I have worked in wood shops before, but not like what you have. Interested in your spokeshave, acquiring tools and have never seen the example that you have. Do you remember the source? Great stuff.
Links for the tools are in the description.
Your spoon head is how wide.
👍👍👍🏅🏅🏅🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Wish this was more on building the "Carving Mule "then on making a spoon
We are setting in motion a how-to build with Fred in the near future (covid issues pending!).
