Carving firewood into spoon - (SILENT)

ASMR
Carved a spoon out of a dry birch log using an axe, a sloyd knife, and a hook knife. The log was so dry it would have been a good firewood.
I still have a lot to learn and need a lot more practice. I learned by watching TH-cam videos from ‪@Zedoutdoors‬ and ‪@andyspoons‬
Video has no talking; just sounds of carving. My little dog (poodle) joined me in the garage while carving.
Axe: Kalthoff Small Carver
Knife: Morakniv 106 ‪@MoraknivOfficial‬

Appreciate the kind mention and you have a lovely looking set up there ~Peace~

Thanks for the videos. I still go back and rewatch them when I'm struggling with specific areas.

Excellent work. 👍👍👍
Word of warning to anyone doing the same.. *Don’t use ‘Kiln Dried Wood’.*
During the forced drying process the wood develops internal cracks and splits inside that you cannot see,
you get 3/4 of the way through your carving project and suddenly come across the internal cracks as you carve, [I’ve done this and ended up with spoons where I have had to fill the cracks up with resin glue or even abandon the project. Extremely annoying.

Good to know. Thanks!

Btw, this birch log was felled by my neighbor last summer. I meant to carve it while it was still green but didn’t get around to it until recently. Didn’t want to waste the piece so I attempted it anyway. I’m glad it didn’t crack during the process. I agree, that would be really annoying!

Not too shabby! Very relaxing. 👍👍

[@frozen_toes_ak]

Thanks! The carving process is very relaxing for me.

@@frozen_toes_ak Same. On youtube, I mainly throw shuriken; in reality, I'm nearly as passionate about spoon carving. Looks like you got a nice, thin bowl to that one; should be very comfortable to use, aye? 👍👍

[@frozen_toes_ak]

@@TheShurikenZone nice! Just saw your kolrossing short. I need to learn how to that one of these days.

[@TheShurikenZone]

@frozen_toes_ak Kolrosing is a lot of fun. Laying out the grid with pencil is the hardest part, I think. That, and knowing that mistakes can't be corrected, and an over-cut of half a millimeter will be an eyesore. hah I just try to put that part out of my mind.

Excellent video

Thanks @DaveCollierCamping

At the beginning of your video I thought your dog was going to either introduce you or give some sort of tool use warnings by the way it was looking at the camera and sat up when you started recording.

[@frozen_toes_ak]

I see what you mean. Lol
