Wow your the first wood carver on youtube I have seen that has awesome production quality. Thank you for the info and thank you for delivering it in a cinematic way. Your effort does not go unnoticed. Your B role is on point.
was not expecting the music video level montage of forest walking while learning about green wood, but i'm very appreciative of it wow. thanks for the tips :> im just starting out in the world of carving and wanna tie it in with some foraging.
Great video, but the music is not my cup of tea😮😊
_"When you hear a chainsaw, just walk towards it"_
Words to live by everyday.
I’ve been missing out on all the blessing God has been giving me running away from that specific sound
I was smiling this whole video for some reason,it so fun and personal,and definetly took spoon carving to a new level of cool. i love it so much.
I’m so glad you like it. It’s lovely to hear. Makes it worth the effort.
I love your transitions youve done in editing
I was hoping to get some information on green wood and found one of the coolest videos on this site. I love the music and the whole production style! Great job!
I just discovered HEWN this week, and in the point of Chace’s comment below, I shared with my wife-and favorite carving partner (and my finishing gal ;)-just last night: “Babe! Found this channel, wherein the feller presents serious and technical skills building intell, but the production and aesthetic of his videos are so flipping relaxing and cool, we would sun and watch, even if we didn’t care or participate in this list art!” Having viewed a few, she concurs! 😊 Thanks, mate, for all of the great work!
Hey, I just found your videos and they’re great. I live in a van with my boyfriend and travel and have decided I want to start carving spoons from places we have traveled too. So I look forward to more of your videos 😊
veeeeery helpful video. Been carving for a little bit, but only blocks of wood from the craft store lol. Haha going to get creative as you mentioned and talk to my neighbors. Also nice editing and tones, makes it even that much more enjoyable to watch :)
You are a man after my own heart! I live in the New Forest and, while taking wood is frowned upon here, I have no qualms about taking windfall wood, and have my little helper ( a battery powered chainsaw) to help me cut the bits I need! I do woodturning as a hobby, and like to think I am recycling wood that would otherwise go to waste
Excellent videography. I just got my spoon carving set two weeks ago. Thx for taking us along in the woods. Maybe a follow up video showing some ways to tell what's worth taking and what to leave behind? Thx.👊
Brother, this level of content quality is FAR to high for under 1000 subs. You deserve way more! Keep it up :)
Here where I live there are HUGE piles of firewood. Not green but lovely grain and colours. The heartwood is a beautiful pink.
Nice video, thanks for posting 😊
Lovely video
very useful tips and nice b-roll
If you hear a chainsaw, just walk towards it.
Hello Leatherface, lovely day to carve a spoon!
LOL
thanks for the heartwarming video :)
I just got a truckload of free firewood from craigslist. Its all green elm and cottonwood but has a number of projects hiding in there.
I have an old 1 man crosscut saw I sharpened, and it works great, but for smaller logs on longer hikes I'd go for a Silky saw...
Brilliant video, really good advice!
Brilliant video. Thank you.
Great video
I tried...but its really really hard! ;)...
best I can do .
Brilliant vid...so well put together...deserves so many views! Totally agree that it adds to the whole process...sourcing and foraging for wood is never a chore and never the same trip twice. I spend too long explaining where it came from.. how I got it...how long it took me to carve before selling it for far to little or giving them away.... But better used .
Love your work ...top man .
Glh..aka #conkersbonkers
Thumbs up for effort! Thanks for the kind words.
I find mine most mornings
All I have are sticks and muddy and twiggy branches
Why is the music so loud compared to the voice sections
five and a half minutes of my time to finally find something?
Sorry you found the video too long Dave. 😢
what's the name of that song?

Holy shit your videography. You must be a video production ot something like that
I promise this relates (somewhat) to spoon carving: Do you happen to be single?? Will trade serenades for spoons.
Hi Libby. I'm happily paired up actually. Though it's a very nice offer, perhaps save your serenades for another :)
@@HewnSpoons I wish you both many happy jaunts to your local woodland looking for spoon wood! :)
Who's going to be the first to make a joke about 'getting wood'?
All that effort to get wood,must love it a lot XD
I came here to learn what type of tree to use. I did not learn this. (Fun video though)
The answer to that is you can use pretty much any broadleaved tree. Some of my favourites would be birch, alder, sycamore, hazel, willow, apple, beech, walnut, cherry, pear, hawthorn, holly… use whatever you have.
@@HewnSpoon Great thanks! I was worried as some wood is toxic
