Well, "Andreea", "Zed", in all the time I've ever spent on You Tube I have NEVER sat for 3 plus hrs. and watched ANY vid. or any series of vids in one sitting as I did here just now tonight! This was THE BEST spoonie vid I have ever watched!! And I've watched lots as a learner! In this vid Andreea so eloquently and thoroughly covered every single question I've ever come across in my 4-5 yrs of carving spoons. So wish I'd seen it 4 yrs ago, it would've saved me so much time experimenting and trying!!! Thank you both, from Andreea and Zed, from A to Z (see what I did there...*G*) this video meant so much to this old boy!!! ~ Jeremy.
Hi Jeremy, that is one of the biggest compliments both me and Andreeea could ever receive. I sicnerely thank you for your kind words and for watching this entire video, it really means a lot! Stay blessed my friend ~Peace~
You are wonderful Jeremy. Thank you for your wonderful feedback. It's so wonderful to know you got so much out of it. It warms my heart and encourages me to share even more!
@@andreeagrad Well there was so much in this vid. that I needed to pay extra attention to that I watched half of it again, in a few select spots that were especially meaningful to me. Small bag of popcorn this time around...*G* Andreea again, thank you for being so specific and sharing each step with so much information. "You need to be mindful" is nearly a catch phrase as it says so much! Perfect! I did go down to my shop and create a spoon from your shared diagram over this last day or so and it was close enough that it brought out the need to re-watch this again. Got a lot of questions answered too and still need to keep on "keeping on"/practice to fine tune my ways. Thanks so much, again... My spoons will be more "delicate" and nicer looking thanks to all that was shown here!
And to add a bit to what Jeremy mentioned, what you are doing Andreea, whether you realize it or not, is highlighting the absolute NEED to FOCUS when doing almost anything with which the slightest distraction could well ruin an otherwise perfect project. It took my many years of trying to do different things which caught my interest including forge work, leather and rawhide braiding of horse gear and other braided items, boat building, [I barely survived my 1st try at building a kayak and also a flat bottomed dingy, both of which danged near got me drowned]. I have spent years working with wood, building kitchen cabinets and a solid butcher block kitchen counter which was in 4 sections and spanned almost 28 lineal feet of my new kitchen, and also found time to learn to repair antique clocks from little mantle clocks to cuckoo clocks and on into the different types of floor clocks including grandmother and grandfather clocks. My latest hobby turned "redux" took me back to my teen years when I first learned to cut both rawhide and tanned leather "strings" and braid different kinds of horse gear and dog leashes and collars, and such items. [My dogs wore the coolest "bling" in town!] Now I am teaching myself to build leather goods such as wallets, business card cases, handgun holsters, knife sheaths, and too many other items to mention here! As I approach my 80th year on this rock we all call our "home", I have learned that without patience and the focus to stick with a project no matter what may get in one's way, I can now understand what some of my mentors, through these past 65 or so years, have been trying to impart on me. And so, my journey continues, and I wake each morning with the excitement of a new day and something new to be learned. I can say, beyond any shadow of doubt, that I have spent the last 3 hours or more learning about more about patience and focus and the drive for perfection than at any other time in my life! You have reinforced what I have known for years and have always tried to utilize in whatever way I could to do better than I did "yesterday". It has taken me through most of my life of trying and missing my mark to put these few traits to use together and arrive at the level I am working today. Thank you and I hope that you will continue to make more videos about your experiences with knife and wood.
This is it! She not only has such great skills on axe carving but also is so good at teaching step by step explaining details. This video would be extremely helpful for any new wanna be carver, just like me. Just can’t take my eyes off it through the whole duration of this lengthy educational video. Thank you both for sharing, this should be an award-winning one! 😊
Again, just so thankful for this long form video format. Big thanks to Andrea for her insight and knowledge and to Zed for his hard work bringing it to us!
Beautiful craftsmanship Andreea. I’m only a little more than half way through. I’ve seen so many of your finished spoons and even video of you putting the finishing touches on. Nice to see it from the very beginning. I never would have guessed you started carving with an axe. I has assumed it was all knife work but I can see why the axe is so helpful. You are not only a skilled craftsman, you also have a remarkable ability to narrate and explain every nuance of what you are doing down to the smallest detail which gives so much more depth and insight to the process. I look forward to watching the rest.
Absolutely beautiful work. I've been a hobbyist woodworker for about 10yr or so and honestly, never attempted to carve a spoon or bowl. Now, I want to. You are an inspiration. Thank you. Cheers :)
Absolutely fantastic tutorial! You can feel the passion Andreea has, while she's doing knife work, in her soft voice. So comforting to watch and listen to...what a gentle touch. Thank you for this! Beautiful soul!
The man, the legend, Mr Jackson. As awlasy brither I appreciate your kind words and for watching. Indeed, Andreea is super passionate about what she does and it shows in the beautiful work she produces! ~Peace~
I would echo the positive comments already made. This is one of the best videos on spoon carving on TH-cam. The skill and attention to detail is self evident in the quality of the spoon but for me, as a beginner, the narrative that covers both what is being done but most importantly WHY is is being done is so valuable and I think what sets this video as the #1 instructional spoon carving video on TH-cam. Well done and thank you to all involved.
Thats a huge compliment to Andreeas teaching and chuffed to hear you liked the video that much. Sincerely appreciate the kind words Simon and for watching ~Peace~
Holy smokes! The Lady jumped headfirst into spoon carving; zero experience right into 300 spoons, from various species.. Excellent concise explanations. Romanian Lady with English Language. Thank you for the wonderful video. ATB for 2023.
A lady spending a whole day making a single wooden spoon using hand tools. Its a hilarious concept until you realise that .... 1. barely anyone knows these skills these days 2. If the factories suddenly stopped, she would be your only one-stop-shop for wooden spoons in a 100 mile radius. 3. these are skills that need to be preserved and recorded. Colour me impressed by your excellent skills.
Your channel Zed is the best thing on TH-cam! Pure genius. I’ve learned so much from these videos. I think Andreea might be my favourite, so relaxing and informative. Thank you so much. Keep making them. I’d love to see more serving spoons and bowls being made 🙏
I sincerely appreciate your support and for the kind words, I really mean that. All being well i hope to be filming more tutorials on serving spoons, ladles and bowls this year ~Peace~
She is really an amazing carver, artist, teacher, I learn so much, watching her explaining from the very beginning in choosing the wood and shaping it so skillfully whit an axe ????? incredible, I carve some kitchen spoon for myself, but this is out of my league, now I learn how to do it better. Time to start again.
Simply amazing! You're very talented Andreea. I love your spoons, absolutely beautiful 👏 ZED thank You very much fór sharring this video. It is helping me to learn the technique from professional. Greetings, Jaroslav from Slovakia
I watched a video yesterday on how a lump of wood turned into a spoon with just an axe and a knife. I was wood working tonight and it has been revolutionised by using a knife instead of a drill and powertools. The result is far superior thank you for showing us your tallent 🙂
This lady is great. Great control of the axe. Wish more young people can pick the craft and carry it further. Bet you she can cook some awesome food also.
Thankfully more and more younger folk from all backgrounds are picking up this craft, I have hope that the trend will continue to pick up pace even more as time goes on. Many thanks for stopping by Konstantin ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors thanks for the video. You have one of the most amazing and unique shaves that isn't made anymore. A guy in the states recreated it bud dont remember the name. I just use it for very specific tasks where it works well and that gives me the excuse to buy other tools.
Im gonna have to watch this again not saying this is or you are boring just the combination of your voice and what you were doing knocked me right out best nap ive had in awhile so peaceful 😂 ive been doing hand tool woodworking for several years and made a few spoons using spokeshaves and gouges just getting into green wood and carving recently picked up alot of carving tools and found this wealth of information which is your channel this lady is a great teacher and very talented thanks
She is amazing…beautiful and obviously naturally talented to have just started and have such an insane collection! I have a friend who just started carving, I sent him this. Incredible work.
Bravo! This is one of the best instructional videos I have watched in a long time. Andreea - your explanations and clarifications were brilliant and much appreciated. I enjoyed watching and learning from your spoon carving technique immensely. My wife (non-carver)and I watched the entire three-hour video together which is a first for her since my own two-year journey with spoon carving. Zed, well done of the production of this type of instructional video. - Larry
Hi Larry, a sincere thank you for your kind words and that is high praise for Andreeas teaching. Wishing you and your wife a lovely year ahead my friend ~Peace~
Quite in line with my experience of Romanians so far in my life your command of the English language is a joy to behold! I have listened to your tutorial whilst working on a pair of chairs for a customer and have barely looked at the screen yet everything I've heard has made sense and I've understood what you're doing and where you are in the process; I'm not sure if you've ever been asked to give a lesson on the radio on how to do this but really I think you could. Not only that but your voice has kept me calm when I've been in a couple of more stressful moments in my own work. Bravo.xx
Just of the back of my comment here it occurs to me that this would be a fantastic activity and hobby for someone who is partially sighted or blind the close, cohesive (as most spoons are made in one piece) tactile and tangible nature of it is ideal I would have thought.
Hi Chris, I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching this video. Indeed Andreea is a natural in front of camera and it was a treat to capture her at work on video. Stay blessed my friend ~Peace~
Wow! This was well worth the time to watch! Andrea brought me to resonance; I think she reinforced some things that I should know by now and also gave good explanations for bits and pieces that have escaped me. Thank you so much for providing such excellent resources!
Andreea made spoon carving looks beautiful,so in depth with most calming voice,it's first time I've heard zed so quite,I'm guessing he was memorized too? Really good good techniques and explain very well,also very good camera skills by zed 100percent from me
Amen to that, she turned out to be a wonderful teacher on video and it was a treat to document her at work. Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching, take care ~Peace~
🇧🇷 Lindas obras de artes feita por uma verdadeira artesan profissional , apesar de eu não saber o idioma dela só pelos gestos aprendi muitas coisas uma verdadeira aula pra meu conhecimento parabéns 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏 ❤️
This video is the best Christmas ghift! I am so proud that I know you and I can't wait to carve toghether again. I recently bought a small spoon collection from Oltenia which I think you'll like. Thank you Zed for making this movie, please hurry up with the next two :) ;) Thank you Andreea for sharing your process and promoting the romanian spoon! Peace!
Hi Radu I sincerely appreciate your kind words and am really happy you enjoed this video. It feels great to put Romania on the map regarding videos, and it will definitely not be the last ...next videos out real soon :) ~Peace~
Thank you, Zed, for the intro to Andreea Grad, who's both an artist and a beautiful soul. Also -- thanks to your great content -- I finally scored one of Peter's #2 carving axes, and I can't wait to receive it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Peters axes and knives are hands down some of the best out there, so chuffed to hear you ordered yourself one of his axes! I have no doubt you will be ecstatic to hold it in the flesh as his work is some of the best out there! Appreciate your kind words and for watching my friend ~Peace~
This video is by far The Best Ever Learning Video for spoon carving I have ever watched! Outstanding work from the detail the voice (I used CC for hearing) the video and camera work Thankful for all you do! Happy Carving
Sincerely appreciate your kind words Dave and to hear you enjoyed this video. All testament to Andreeas amazing teaching skills and presence on camera ~Peace~
That's very nice work and I learned a few things to better my carving but I wanted to just say that if anyone wants to have a cheap but sharp one just go to a farrier and buy a few hoof knives. They're virtually the same but cheaper for those that can't buy the more expensive knives that are hand made and usually very expensive.
Outstanding video! I have admired Andreea's spoon carving for quite some time over on Instagram. She definitely has the gift of design, but I didn't realize she was such a talented instructor. Nice find, Zed. I enjoyed the whole video, start to finish -- and the spoon turned out awesome!
Considering this was her first time teaching in front of a camera I was equally impressed with just how good she was. Sincerely appreciate you watching and for the kind words my friend, stay blessed ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors Молодец Девочка, Передовай Своё Мировоззрение Детям, Душу НУЖНО Передовать. П.С.Г.ГЕРМАНИЯ. ЗДОРОВЬЯ и Семейного счастья , желаю тебе ОТ всей души. Спасибо за общение. ЗДОРОВЬЯ.
Well since I first found this info and spoon design and figured "No sweat, nice design -- got it!!" I've had to come back and ref. a few key points that were unfamiliar to be me before! Kind of surprised me and told me just how much useful info. and demo's this entire video contained! Either that or just how slow a learner I really am!! Thanks again to both of you...I'm not satisfied with my efforts just yet but closing in on it...:)))
Hey Zed, thanks for the bookmarks! I hope the links I was doing in the comments of past videos was helpful, rather than format-changing. I know it takes work, and I appreciate it.
Hi Andrew, I very much appreciate your bookmarks and welcome any and all input from everyone who watches. I try my best to put as much detailed chapters on the videos where it seems applicable, and I have videos without chapters I need to add them to. Sincerely appreciate your help and wishing you all the best for the year ahead my friend ~Peace~
A 3+ hour TH-cam video is totally crazy. And thank you so much for doing it! If you don’t have the patience to watch a long video, even in chunks, how can you have the patience for wood carving? I watched the whole thing and learned so much. I will definitely be trying one of the Romanian spoons soon.
Sincerely appreciate the kind words Scott and indeed, videos like this are not everyones cup of tea. However, the goal of my channel is to document these skills in as much detail as possible, regardless of video length. Sincerley appreciate the kind words and happy carving my friend ~Peace~
Here in South Africa the Zulu culture have a traditional beer called "Umqombothi" brewed in an earthenware pot. The "African style" spoon with that lip is so you can hook it to the side of the earthen pot. I think it has to do with cleanliness more than easy to access, but i really am not sure. Calabash scoops are mostly used and they float in the pot a carved spoon not so much?? 😂 Love the work you do and the content always learning something!! Many blessing for the new year.
Really appreciate you sharing that as I learnt something new today! Make sense as to why it is the shape it is. Many thanks and take care my friend ~Peace~
Never thought to carve redbud we have it everywhere around here as we do with black walnut, hickory, cedar, and red oak. Although everyone knows how great walnut and hickory look.
i been searching for good sharp ax like that one.I have seen such nice sharp axes need also a single bevel.axe which is good british or European well priced good quality axes THANKS FOR YOUR HELP CUPLACERE Mulsum est?? Im fascinated vy your language many Romanians in South florida lovely interesting folks
Am sorry to hear that, hence why it's important to incorporate good technique and to pay attention to the piece you are working on and not need to wear a glove. Saying that you do what you feel safe and confortable ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors I always do and no matter how careful you are or how good your technique is, you're only human and some years down the road your grandchild will yell your name, you look up while making a cut and, alas, your thumb is just hanging on by a connective tissue. Perhaps you should let people know that responsible thing to do is to wear a glove. After all, some newbies are watching your yt clips and take example of how it's done your style
It was a mouthful, all i had to say is relying on good technique alone is irresponsible, while disregarding basic safety. But i did like your clip. You've become very skilled in such a short amount of time. Best of luck
Itsa great video one thing id like to ask why not use a jig saw instead of the axe so much quicker thank you lovely lady im 84 and started whittling two years ago and looking for a new chalenge all the time ill follow your lead and use small axe so i can compare with a saw, take care .
Using a jigsaw is absolutely fine if you have one, otherwise using an axe & saw derives a lot more pleasure. Many thanks for watching and take care ~Peace~

The Bob Ross of spoon carving. So peaceful and relaxing to watch
lol, she's just missing the fro ;) ~Peace~
What a great teacher! Just like Bob, she makes me believe I could do that as well.
Outstanding video. I appreciate that you have shown her entire process. She is a serene presence with a true talent for woodcarving. Very well done!

I watched a video yesterday on how a lump of wood turned into a spoon with just an axe and a knife. I was wood working tonight and it has been revolutionised by using a knife instead of a drill and powertools. The result is far superior thank you for showing us your tallent 🙂
Hi Roy, indeed both methods work well, the hand tool method I find is way more relaxing and allows you to express your creativity more ~Peace~
This lady is great. Great control of the axe. Wish more young people can pick the craft and carry it further. Bet you she can cook some awesome food also.
Thankfully more and more younger folk from all backgrounds are picking up this craft, I have hope that the trend will continue to pick up pace even more as time goes on. Many thanks for stopping by Konstantin ~Peace~

Im gonna have to watch this again not saying this is or you are boring just the combination of your voice and what you were doing knocked me right out best nap ive had in awhile so peaceful 😂 ive been doing hand tool woodworking for several years and made a few spoons using spokeshaves and gouges just getting into green wood and carving recently picked up alot of carving tools and found this wealth of information which is your channel this lady is a great teacher and very talented thanks
Sincerely appreciate your kind words and Andreea sure is a great teacher on video. Happy carving and take care my friend ~Peace~
Excellent. I enjoyed your demonstration very much.
Appreciate you watching and for the kind words Clive thank you ~Peace~
She is amazing…beautiful and obviously naturally talented to have just started and have such an insane collection! I have a friend who just started carving, I sent him this. Incredible work.
Appreciate you watching and sharing with your friend. Indeed Andreea is wonderfully talented and teaches well on camera ~Peace~
Bravo....
What a Great Teacher.
Way cool I'm going to try this comb back in a week for the results 🤣🤣🤣🤣😊🤣😊😊😊
Awesome! best of luck and do let me know how you get on ~Peace~
Очень полезное видео, спасибо! Лайк, подписка, респект!
Спасибо за добрые слова и за подписку ~Peace~
Amazing. What a talented artist she is.
Thanks Zed😊
Indeed she is and appreciate you watching ~Peace~
Parabéns !!! Estou aprendendo muito !!! Vou fazer uma colher amanhã
Isso é ótimo para ouvir e deixe-me saber como você se sai com sua colher ~Peace~
Bravo! This is one of the best instructional videos I have watched in a long time. Andreea - your explanations and clarifications were brilliant and much appreciated. I enjoyed watching and learning from your spoon carving technique immensely. My wife (non-carver)and I watched the entire three-hour video together which is a first for her since my own two-year journey with spoon carving. Zed, well done of the production of this type of instructional video. - Larry
Hi Larry, a sincere thank you for your kind words and that is high praise for Andreeas teaching. Wishing you and your wife a lovely year ahead my friend ~Peace~
Excellent presentation!
Appreciate your kind words and for watching Geoff thank you ~Peace~
Quite in line with my experience of Romanians so far in my life your command of the English language is a joy to behold! I have listened to your tutorial whilst working on a pair of chairs for a customer and have barely looked at the screen yet everything I've heard has made sense and I've understood what you're doing and where you are in the process; I'm not sure if you've ever been asked to give a lesson on the radio on how to do this but really I think you could. Not only that but your voice has kept me calm when I've been in a couple of more stressful moments in my own work. Bravo.xx
Just of the back of my comment here it occurs to me that this would be a fantastic activity and hobby for someone who is partially sighted or blind the close, cohesive (as most spoons are made in one piece) tactile and tangible nature of it is ideal I would have thought.
Hi Chris, I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching this video. Indeed Andreea is a natural in front of camera and it was a treat to capture her at work on video. Stay blessed my friend ~Peace~
Wow! This was well worth the time to watch! Andrea brought me to resonance; I think she reinforced some things that I should know by now and also gave good explanations for bits and pieces that have escaped me. Thank you so much for providing such excellent resources!
Thats a delight to hear David and wishing you the best in your carving journey my friend ~Peace~
I carve Spoon to but your carving stayl is really nice, Thanks for sharing, ı learnd lot of thiny things your video.

Andreea is really great at explaining symmetry. What a great video! I enjoyed it.

Thank you Zed for making this movie, please hurry up with the next two :) ;)
Thank you Andreea for sharing your process and promoting the romanian spoon!
Peace!
Hi Radu I sincerely appreciate your kind words and am really happy you enjoed this video. It feels great to put Romania on the map regarding videos, and it will definitely not be the last ...next videos out real soon :) ~Peace~

So real nice video guys. Nothing hurried, well narrated with excellent explanations. Lovely.
Really happy to hear you enjoed this video and we appreciate you watching ~Peace~
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you!
What a superb and comprehensive video you both!
Mr White thank you kindly, hope to get your good self in front of camera in the new year, stay blessed ~Peace~
Thank you David! ((hugs))
Thank you, Zed, for the intro to Andreea Grad, who's both an artist and a beautiful soul. Also -- thanks to your great content -- I finally scored one of Peter's #2 carving axes, and I can't wait to receive it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Peters axes and knives are hands down some of the best out there, so chuffed to hear you ordered yourself one of his axes! I have no doubt you will be ecstatic to hold it in the flesh as his work is some of the best out there! Appreciate your kind words and for watching my friend ~Peace~
fantastic Andreea, thanks for sharing Zed. I really like the design with the slim bowl
Me and you both! ~Peace~
Really happy you like it. Thank you!
Great looking spoon! A real piece of art. Andreea did an amazing job of explaining the whole spoon carving process. Another great video, Zed!
I couldn't agree more Ken, she was wonderful in front of camera and explained everything so well ~Peace~
I am so glad you enjoyed it Ken. Thank you!
I love this. You're talent is a truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing 😊
Indeed Andreea is very talented and we appreciate you watching Tammie thank you :) ~Peace~
Once again we find out how special Debra is by hosting Andersen for this video. Such a special friend Zeb.
Indeed Deborah is one of ther loveliest people you will ever meet ~Peace~
Очень подробная видеоинструкция👍 Делаешь полезный контент брат, спасибо! Коммент в поддержку.
Искренне ценю ваши добрые слова и за просмотр моего друга ~Peace~
Искренне ценю ваши добрые слова и за просмотр моего друга ~Peace~
Andreea is a real axe Genius plus tons of useful hints. Final axe touches made me a bit anxious because that billet was looking so fragile already!
Indeed it was fascinating to see how close she got with the axe, sincerely appreciate you watching and for the kind words ~Peace~
девочка Молодец многим мужикам пример как делать ложки действительно руками без станков.а качество и красота обработки высший класс.
Спасибо за просмотр ~Peace~
She is beautifull.....
A very talented carver indeed ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors she does it professionally and thoroughly
This video is by far The Best Ever Learning Video for spoon carving I have ever watched! Outstanding work from the detail the voice (I used CC for hearing) the video and camera work
Thankful for all you do!
Happy Carving
Sincerely appreciate your kind words Dave and to hear you enjoyed this video. All testament to Andreeas amazing teaching skills and presence on camera ~Peace~
That's very nice work and I learned a few things to better my carving but I wanted to just say that if anyone wants to have a cheap but sharp one just go to a farrier and buy a few hoof knives. They're virtually the same but cheaper for those that can't buy the more expensive knives that are hand made and usually very expensive.
Appreciate you watching and for the kind words, thank you ~Peace~
Outstanding video! I have admired Andreea's spoon carving for quite some time over on Instagram. She definitely has the gift of design, but I didn't realize she was such a talented instructor. Nice find, Zed. I enjoyed the whole video, start to finish -- and the spoon turned out awesome!
Considering this was her first time teaching in front of a camera I was equally impressed with just how good she was. Sincerely appreciate you watching and for the kind words my friend, stay blessed ~Peace~
Молодец Девочка, глазомер и вкус хороший,, Успехов и крепкого здоровья . П.С.Г.ГЕРМАНИЯ. Семейного счастья.
Спасибо за просмотр и за добрые слова ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors Молодец Девочка, Передовай Своё Мировоззрение Детям, Душу НУЖНО Передовать. П.С.Г.ГЕРМАНИЯ. ЗДОРОВЬЯ и Семейного счастья , желаю тебе ОТ всей души. Спасибо за общение. ЗДОРОВЬЯ.
Wow, thats really awesome. It is also very inspiring to see, what you can archive in only 2 years. Looking forward for the next videos!
Indeed she has had an incredible journey in such a short space of time! Many thanks for watching and the other videos will be out very soon ~Peace~
Many thanks.
Thank you too and stay blessed ~Peace~
Well since I first found this info and spoon design and figured "No sweat, nice design -- got it!!" I've had to come back and ref. a few key points that were unfamiliar to be me before! Kind of surprised me and told me just how much useful info. and demo's this entire video contained! Either that or just how slow a learner I really am!! Thanks again to both of you...I'm not satisfied with my efforts just yet but closing in on it...:)))
It all comes with practise and it's awesome to hear about your journey, happy carving my friend and take care ~Peace~
👏👏👏👏thanks!!!
Thank you kindly my friend ~Peace~
your Good at what Do
Amen to that Jim, she is a very talented carver ~Peace~
FABULOUS WORK! 😀😀😀😀😀
Appreciate you watching and indeed Andreea is a very talnted carver ~Peace~
Hey Zed, thanks for the bookmarks! I hope the links I was doing in the comments of past videos was helpful, rather than format-changing. I know it takes work, and I appreciate it.
Hi Andrew, I very much appreciate your bookmarks and welcome any and all input from everyone who watches. I try my best to put as much detailed chapters on the videos where it seems applicable, and I have videos without chapters I need to add them to. Sincerely appreciate your help and wishing you all the best for the year ahead my friend ~Peace~
A 3+ hour TH-cam video is totally crazy. And thank you so much for doing it! If you don’t have the patience to watch a long video, even in chunks, how can you have the patience for wood carving?
I watched the whole thing and learned so much. I will definitely be trying one of the Romanian spoons soon.
Sincerely appreciate the kind words Scott and indeed, videos like this are not everyones cup of tea. However, the goal of my channel is to document these skills in as much detail as possible, regardless of video length. Sincerley appreciate the kind words and happy carving my friend ~Peace~
Here in South Africa the Zulu culture have a traditional beer called "Umqombothi" brewed in an earthenware pot. The "African style" spoon with that lip is so you can hook it to the side of the earthen pot.
I think it has to do with cleanliness more than easy to access, but i really am not sure. Calabash scoops are mostly used and they float in the pot a carved spoon not so much?? 😂
Love the work you do and the content always learning something!!
Many blessing for the new year.
Really appreciate you sharing that as I learnt something new today! Make sense as to why it is the shape it is. Many thanks and take care my friend ~Peace~
💚💚💚
Thank you so much ~Peace~
Very nice spoons and a thumbs up to your videography skills. I’m a woodcarver of walking sticks so I enjoyed watching this episode.
Have a great day☀️
Sincerely appreciate your kind words and carving walking sticks is something i'm hoping to document on video this year! ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors you can see some of my walking sticks on TH-cam. ‘Wood Carving Video Featuring Amazing Canes.’

簡素で機能的な美しさ。 素晴らしい
見てくれて、そして優しい言葉をありがとう ~Peace~
I’m the wa-wa-wa-wa-waterboy durrr, I got a wooden spoon duuurrrr.
Many thanks for watching ~Peace~
Never thought to carve redbud we have it everywhere around here as we do with black walnut, hickory, cedar, and red oak. Although everyone knows how great walnut and hickory look.
I'm so envious of the Black Walnut you guys have as we don't have that here in the UK ~Peace~
Merci!
Merci beaucoup Frantz! 🙏 ~Peace~
Lovely to see your work, Andrea! Very inspirering. Thank you, and Zed ofcourse 🙏🏻
8-fingers/2-thumbs/palms scar free…a master.
She is indeed a very talented carver ~Peace~
i been searching for good sharp ax like that one.I have seen such nice sharp axes need also a single bevel.axe which is good british or European well priced good quality axes THANKS FOR YOUR HELP CUPLACERE Mulsum est?? Im fascinated vy your language many Romanians in South florida lovely interesting folks
Hi Charles, there are many options out there, if anything i'd recommend a Gransfors Carving Axe as you can get them with different grinds ~Peace~
after 15 stitches on my left thumb, i always wear a glove
Am sorry to hear that, hence why it's important to incorporate good technique and to pay attention to the piece you are working on and not need to wear a glove. Saying that you do what you feel safe and confortable ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors I always do and no matter how careful you are or how good your technique is, you're only human and some years down the road your grandchild will yell your name, you look up while making a cut and, alas, your thumb is just hanging on by a connective tissue. Perhaps you should let people know that responsible thing to do is to wear a glove. After all, some newbies are watching your yt clips and take example of how it's done your style
It was a mouthful, all i had to say is relying on good technique alone is irresponsible, while disregarding basic safety. But i did like your clip. You've become very skilled in such a short amount of time. Best of luck
Itsa great video one thing id like to ask why not use a jig saw instead of the axe so much quicker thank you lovely lady im 84 and started whittling two years ago and looking for a new chalenge all the time ill follow your lead and use small axe so i can compare with a saw, take care .
Using a jigsaw is absolutely fine if you have one, otherwise using an axe & saw derives a lot more pleasure. Many thanks for watching and take care ~Peace~
