Easily Decorate Your Wooden Spoon: Korlosing Made Simple
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 08. 2024
- This is a demonstration of how I kolrose my wooden spoons. For those who don’t know, kolrosing is a wood decorating technique which involves scratching a design onto wood, oiling it and rubbing a pigment in.
This demonstration was made purposefully simple, to encourage anybody to try it for themselves using items they may already have.
This video was recorded, edited and voiced over entirely with an iPhone 11, so it will be in portrait mode and will be in a different style than my other two videos.
The equipment used in this video:
- mechanical pencil
- mora 106 sloyd knife
- finely crushed coffee
- burnishing stone
- tung oil
- wooden spoon

Great video, love to see more!
Someday soon! Thank you for your comment!
Amazing!
Thanks for making this Carlos, I have never watched videos on how to kolros before, so I learned a lot!
Thanks for showing us. Take care.
I have a set of the tiniest micro-screwdrivers you EVER saw. Cost me almost diddly at the local Chinese shop. I sanded the tips into blades. The narrowest is about 1mm wide. They kolrose like a DREAM. The trick is to slide the 'blade' in at an angle. That cuts across the fibre and minimizes slippage. Goes in like butter and the narrowest tip takes the most minute and sharp curve. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Oh, and to make the wood softer? Spray your wood with a 50/50 solution of 91% alcohol and water.
Thanks for the nice and informative video. Excellent work
Another great video, cheers
Thanks so much for your demonstration.
Try a final polish with abrasive wood polish like Yorkshire Grit. That should remove any unwanted
staining from around the actual kolrosing without damaging the kolrosing.
Very helpful, thanks!
Thumbs up great video.
Linseed and Tung oil are safe on rags, it's the boiled linseed oil (BLO) that's not safe, as it had chemicals in it to aid the drying speed, this causes the potential heat/combustion.
I have a separate idea for withholding the unwanted stain from kolrosing, I will let you know how it goes.
A rather important note, tung oil is food safe (and very durable) once oxidized. But during the oxidization (15-30 days, depending on how many layers) it is actually toxic.
Edit, please please do your research before using oils, especially if you're planning in putting it in your mouth
Although 3 years ago, I'm guessing that you are still out there somewhere 🤔.
You use finely ground coffee for pigment, but, do you use jar coffee granuals crushed or is it filter coffee powder fresh or used ??.
Hope you can help me out.
Cheers Les.
I am still alive! I have been busy with family but I will be back someday soon. I use regular canned coffee, pre crushed and pre used.
No flammability worries with natural oils containing no solvents. Boiled linseed yes..walnut oil, real tuna oil, flax oil etc are not going to spontaneously combust.
