Great work. And what a stunning grain. 😍
Isn't it just, hope you've been keeping well Al ~Peace~
I'm laid up in bed at the moment, post surgery, and your videos give me a great deal of comfort. What better way to heal than continuously learning from fine craftsmen ? Thank you for all the videos you share
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and hoping your recovery goes well ~Peace~
Very nice achievement, beautiful dexterity, thank you to you
Isn't it just ~Peace~
Zed, I addressed Martin but maybe I should have addressed you, because (you are the man). Thank you so much for your videos, Allright-Allright-Allright.
You are very kind Ronnie thank you! ~Peace~
Very enjoyable -I'd love to spend a day or two with a guy like that -thx man
If ever you make it across the pond i'll take you there to meet him, you guys will get along great and he lives in a beautiful part of the country too ~Peace~
What a privilege it is to watch your videos Zed and to see a craftsman like Martin.
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching my friend ~Peace~
Wonderful video Zed. Thanks so much for taking the time. I learn so much from people like this and they are hard to find sometimes in the States.
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching, all being well i'll be seeing Martin again in the very near future ~Peace~
Well done Zed ! Greetings from Kentucky U.S.A.
Thank you kindly Steve ~Peace~
Great video. That Kuksa is beautiful
Appreciate you watching and for your kind words ~Peace~
this is my second full time thru the vid and the take away was the handling of the tools. Great advice for people who want to do this long term. "spread the load"
Yes I always rewatch videos like this to learn ~Peace~
Carved a few spoons before but never out of burr, thanks to you and Martin for showing this.
Carving with burr is very new to me too, appreciate you watching dude ~Peace~
I've got s bunch of cherry from my parents tree that fell and they had to cut the whole tree down...been needing this video! Thx Zed! .
Superloyal Jane I live in the US in WA state and cherry orchards are all around us. that was the last cherry tree my parents had left in their yard, out of nine original trees. But, yes I will try and do it justice.
Oh wow nice, Cherry is beautiful to carve with so do let me know how you get on ~Peace~
A true marvel to behold!
Love Martin and his subtle hilarious jokes, really good stand-up material.
Not to mention his skill with tools and incredible knowledge of wood.
Thank you so much for a really wonderful time 💗
Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching thank you! ~Peace~
Learning alot here thanks, was splitting some wood a week ago, And I remember watching a video of someone carving a spoon, and I just went on and tried to make a spoon, and was happy with my result. Ordering some propper gear soon and gonna try out this in a while. First im gonna make alot of spoons :)
Thats awesome to hear and best of luck my friend ~Peace~
Love the demo videos! I also like how this is such a simple example of how to carve these spoons. So mellow. No ultra tech or huge effort needed!
Thank you kindly my friend I appreciate your kind words ~Peace~
LOVE LOVE LOVE ... found i was mesmerized as great grandfather whittled long ago & i was i LOVE with him .... GREAT SHOW! burl Wood appreciation = LOVE
I bet your great grandfather was a great guy, thank you for your kind words ~Peace~
Thank you Zed for capturing and sharing. So important. Thank you Martin for sharing your knowledge. Cheers from Niagara Canada. 😊👍
I appreciate you watching and for your kind words Mike thank you ~Peace~
You're always putting out good content
You are very kind Shaine thank you ~Peace~
Redbud is a tree I have them in my yard, great video 👍👍👍✌
Oh nice! ~Peace~
17:05... I agree with Mr Hazell's suggestion....good one. 😎👍
Thank you kindly my friend ~Peace~
As the old saying goes, "I love work I do.... I could watch it all day!" "wink"... It seams that the sharp blades are more than half the battle but the skills are a joy to see, and these creations are truly beautiful.... Superb insight into these traditional crafting skills as always Zed.... Well done and thank-you for this brother. :-)
Indeed sharp tools is most definitely where it's at, makes carving a lot easier and a lot safer too. Take care my man ~Peace~
Cheers Zed - Blessings to you and yours
Nice work. Keep up the great work. Be blessed
Thank you kindly my man ~Peace~
Great information and teaching. Thank you for sharing Martin's skills with Zed and Martin. I have been wanting to find some burls and carve my own Kuksa and spoons. With the awesome video, I am confident that I could that now. I have carved a few spoons already and am ready to move on to new things. Btw, we have arrested Philip now. LOL I live the neighboring state of Ohio, next to Indiana. I think it is great that Philip was able to get ou some wood that is not native to your area.
Awesome to hear that this video helped in some way and wishing you the best of luck with your own attempts my friend ~Peace~
the varying knife grips were great! Thank you for this video.
Appreciate your kind words and for watching Michele ~Peace~
Zed I'm SO GLAD Martin let you film his wonderful work!! He is truly a master and also an excellent teacher. I picked up so many axe tips from him. One habit I have to break myself of is moving the axe in different directions, rather than keeping it vertical and moving the wood around). I've mostly just been practicing on wood scraps making spoons and believe me, most of them are little disasters!😆 I think that if I sent you a picture of them it would make you physically ill, haha...But Martin had such clearly-explained carving tips and also the common mistakes people make. I have always loved burled/burred wood but I've never actually seen it being carved. It really is surprising inside, and also I didn't know that it tends to change shape a bit as it dries out.
Thanks for a super video, Zed! You did an amazing job filming, and you also asked some really good questions! Cheers!
Stella
Kudos to you for at least giving it a go Stella regardless of how you feel your spoons come out, even for me it doesn't come naturally and have to work hard at it. I really appreciate your kind words and for watching ~Peace~
Thanks for sharing these amazing tips! Thanks to you and to the teacher Martin Hazell. Congrats!
Thank you kindly Rogerio ~Peace~
Superb Zed as always. Great to meet Martin and learning so much. I like the way you set the tone and kept Martin on his toes from the very start ;) Thank you for sharing. Paul :)
Appreciate your kind words Paul, Martin is an extremely talented yet humble guy. All being well i'll be visiting him again in the coming weeks ~Peace~
Enjoyed that, really nice to watch.
I appreciate that Steve thank you ~Peace~
"Hide the evidence" hehe! Love the videos Zed, and the humour. Going to start spoon making this month. Thanks for all the information and insights. Very inspirational. Peace :)
A sincere pleasure to be connected and happy spooning! ~Peace~

You are very kind Quinn thank you very much ~Peace~
Another great video Zed. Since Martin is an expert in carving from burls, I wonder if you and he would ever consider doing a video on the subject of preventing/repairing the inevitable cracks that come with the territory.
Thank you for your kind words, a recent video I did with Paul Adamson on how to carve a Kuksa covers the topic of cracks ~Peace~
Thanks
Really like this vid great work both Martin and Zed more please 👍🏻👍🏻
Appreciate you watching my friend ~Peace~
Really enjoyable vid and very interesting, thanks lots Zed. I do like watching people do their thing when they really know their stuff, hope you're keeping well, thanks again mate, cheers.
I'm with you on that James, it's not only educational watching others work but also therapeutic. Take it easy my good man ~Peace~
~Peace To You Bro~

Zed, what's up man??? Hope all is well.....great video, I missed this one somehow. Just moved and settled in the Chicago area...got to find some woods....take care.
Hoping the move is going well for you, thats one part of the US i've yet to visit ~Peace~
Lovely informative video again Zed and the end product is a vision of beauty. The woven baskets behind you at the end looked excellent too - you know some really good craftsmen and it is awesome to see their skills being brought to a wide audience.
Many thanks dude, you'll like Martin if you met him in person as he's a very talented yet humble guy ~Peace~
Talented and humble is a great mix.

I agree, alas Martins a very private guy hence Instagram is the most he'll do at the moment ~Peace~
nice. enjoyed this brother
I appreciate that my friend thank you ~Peace~
Amazing being able to create a bespoke work of art from what is little more than a tree wart. A lot of wood carvers would leave these, considering them waste. Atb.
Most definitely and like you said Martin utilises with great skill what most would consider waste ~Peace~
At 23:00 the sounds of the cuts are just wonderful.
Isn't it just, I could hear that on repeat for ages ~Peace~
loved this Zed…..kind regards Phil from OZ

Cracking video Zed, Martin seems like a bloke who I could listen to for days, great teacher.
Most definitely, Martin is one of the most talented yet humble people I know, hope to have more of him on my channel in the new year ~Peace~
I would be willing to bet that Martin has a handshake like a vise.
Oh yes, he's about 6'2" tall too ...and you know what they say about men with big hands.... ~Peace~
Next project in mind.
Nice! ~Peace~
Excellent!
Clark and Virgnia
Thank you kindly, hope summer was good to you guys ~Peace~
