I spent a few days in beautiful Dorset in the South West of England with a very talented friend and full time craftsman Adam Hawker
In this video he shows his technique for Kolrosing which is a form of embellishment made famous by the indigenous people of Scandinavia and a skill Adam is internationally renowned for
Adam has never shown his Kolrosing technique outside of his private workshops and seminars so I am honoured that he has decided to share this with you the viewer

As ALWAYS another rock star video Zed! Love the detail and the focus of all the appropriate steps to the design. God bless you dear brother
Wes long time! hope all is well with you and the family ~Peace~
It's great when a master of their craft is happy to share their knowledge.
Amen my friend amen, I am always grateful for them to allow me to document their process so that others may learn ~Peace~
Great film Zed and Adam thanks very much for sharing.
Appreciate your kind words Harry thank you ~Peace~
Another great video, Zed! Thank you for the work you do in showing such great tutorials. I did as suggested and followed Adam on IG.
That is great to hear and I sincerely appreciate your kind words thank you ~Peace~
Excellent demonstration. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and for your kind words ~Peace~
I like your humor, Zed! You are a cool guy. Adam must have some great eyes for that kind of work.
Adam is a super cool and humble guy, appreciate your kind words and for watching my man ~Peace~
Adam is always so great
Amen to that ~Peace~
Thank you for sharing your creativity, skill, and knowledge. Beautiful work. A very interesting technique that may find its way into something I do in the not-too-distant future. Again, thank you!
Appreciate your kind words and indeed it is a technique you should most definitely give a try ~Peace~
Kolrosing is wonderful. A few years ago I was a horrible spoon maker and I would make spoons that looked very clumsy and I would end up throwing it out. Then I realized that taking your time to make something look nice is a very valuable skill. It makes you want to keep it and use it instead of tossing it away. It ultimately saves you time, it is pleasing and you can make it last. kolrosing is an amazing way to help make you work look wonderful.
Amen to everything you said, for a long time I rushed the carving aspect too and have only recently learnt to slow right down and enjoy the process without any pressure ~Peace~
Another awesome tutorial. Thanks.
You are very kind thank you ~Peace~
Its so cool and exciting to watch an artist at work . Cheers to you sir . My Dad used to say a good carpenter is not a carpenter who never makes mistakes but rather the carpenter who is best able to hide them. This must also apply to artisans .Listening to you recount how you changed the whole pattern on your spoon because of one slip brought this to mind . - Thank you so much for your time you spent on this awesome video !
Beautiful words and thank you so much for watching ~Peace~
Wonderfully done!
Thank you kindly Josh ~Peace~
Awesome video loved the spoon video with Adam can’t wait to start using kolrosing on my spoons
Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching thank you and best of luck with your kolrosing ~Peace~
Very well sculpted, delicate and beautiful... the spoons are ok too ;)
Big up again mate, I love the carving videos!
You the man bro, Adams gonna be at Spoonfest so you can get aroused over his work in person #anotherusefortherawlinseedoil ~Peace~
Brilliant craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing another inspiring video :)
- Martin
Thank you kindly as always Martin ~Peace~
Adam's shirt is awesome. Resist the institutionalized fear of tools.
Adams tshirt rocks ~Peace~
Would love to get one for my son but looks like it's only available in England or some black hole somewhere. Non-existent on the net...
I get excited everytime I here sloýd!
This is really interesting, thank you!
You are very kind thank you ~Peace~
Awesome tutorial! I'll definitely give it a try.
Best of luck dude and let us know how you get on ~Peace~
From the Netherlands, tnx (again) for a truely beautifull inside look in the art of spoon making. Wish we he those craftsmen overhere! :)
Thank you kindly, indeed you have some great craftsmen in Holland too ~Peace~
You do!

Hey Peter, thanks for pointing this out! It just so happens that I stumbled upon this guy a few days after
I watched Zed video here. But tnx anyway :-)
Excellent Tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you kindly Mike ~Peace~
Great video guys. And i love the shirt. I grew up carving with my grandfather (except we called it whittling in the Southern U.S.) it is a wonderful hobby. I can't wait to try out kolrosing. Thanks
Thank you for watching ~Peace~
Wild stuff.
Thank you kindly Mike! ~Peace~

Another great vid pal. Keep them coming. Leon
You the man Leon thank you ~Peace~
Thanks Zed and Adam ! Hey you guys , I just started spoon carving ! I've been getting my knives together , just acquired a kolrolsing knive from a guy in Germany ! Can't wait to see pt.2 ! will b using your techniques ,Adam ! Thank a to both of y'all !!
Thank you kindly Jay, hoping your new knives serve you well my friend ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors , Thanks Zed , gotcha back !
Thanks what an awesome video
Thank you kindly Bruce ~Peace~
Another awesome video gusy!
You the man Vince thank you ~Peace~
So interesting mate. Had to watch these again. Atb, Tom.
Thank you my man, if ever you get the chance to learn from Adam then it is a must, one of the most talented guys out there ~Peace~
Beautiful work. Thanks Zed. Have to give this a try.
Let us know how you get on Joe and hope you and the family are keeping well ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors Much thanks Zed. Best wishes for you and your family. I'll definitely let you know how I mess this first one up.
Did a simple pattern while following the video. Thanks for another awesome tutorial. Really enjoy learning from y'all.
Awesome going dude, and great work it was too ~Peace~
I had to go back and re-do some parts on the one I made; after making it and thinking I was just cutting a cool design on it, I noticed some symbols I did not intend to represent. All good now though
Your "videos" are very nice. Very informative with the hands on.
Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching thank you ~Peace~
excellent video, just what I was looking for after discovering kolrosing recently. Finally an explanation of how Sami get such intricate antler carvings on their knives and sheaths as well, as I am guessing that is essentially kolrosing also.
Indeed yes, I believe that particular technique is called Scrimshaw which works on the same principle as Kolrosing ~Peace~
If your using a mortar and pestle the pestle is a good burnisher. Mine has a sort of knob end on the handle which has a nice curve for getting edges.
Indeed a pestle is a good option too ~Peace~
Great tutorial Zed ! Hope one day soon when I get better at spoon carving I'll decorate it like this.
I always wanted to decorate a spoon.
Take care mate
Nick
With your dedication no doubt you'll get good like this, then you come to Spoonfest gathering in 2018 and carve with us ~Peace~
Hm that's a damn good idea you know Zed !
Excellent video, thanks for sharing it. The shaft of many cheap screwdrivers are chromed which makes a good smooth polished surface for burnishing with. Uh, turnscrews.
Ah yes good pointer no doubt they will be great for burnishing too and appreciate your kind words, thank you ~Peace~
thanks for sharing - really enjoyed this!
Appreciate your kind words Sandi thank you ~Peace~
Great Video Zed looking forward to giving this ago great work
Thank you kindly and let me know how you get on ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors will do keep up the good work
Drillbit would be awesome for burnishing,the bit that goes into the drill that is pure round. Thanks again Zed & Adam awesome work.
Indeed yes thats a great idea, appreciate your kind words Al thank you ~Peace~
I've made my burnishing tools from bone.
Great vidio zed adam is awsome😎👍🏼
Thank you kindly Dan, indeed he is and very humble too ~Peace~
Another great video. I can't wait to try it. Zed, you sure have found a niche with your interview style vids.
That is very kind of you to say so thank you, the interview style has evolved over time and is still evolving, i'm just grateful folk I film with allow me to document their processes that they have refined over many years ~Peace~
awesome
Thank you kindly Phyllis ~Peace~
First Like. Great video as usual Zed!
Thank you kindly Loris! ~Peace~
Great video! I would love for you to do a video on how he made his "holders" for his various knives that I saw in the "How to carve a spoon" video.
Thank you kindly Russell, indeed I am planning to do a video on that very topic in the near future so stay tuned ~Peace~
I was thinking the 'well received video' comment was a bit preemptive but why wouldn't a video like these do anything but great. Thanks again Zed and Adam. Share the knowledge!
You the man dude, you coming Spoonfest this year? ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors Yah! Thought you said you didn't have a ticket?!
I know you can do it... be the guy to interview/collaborate with Primitive Technology. 😀
I think if Zed can get him on skype or some video chat, it would be a great interview to see. Do it Zed. I'm sure the guy would do it. He puts a ton of energy into learning the nature of the first nations people. He might would welcome giving others the chance to understand some of what he's learned and what his journey's about?
Scrambled O just checked in! LOL
Thats gonna be a tough one ...but challenge accepted :) ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors Looking forward to it.
Zed Outdoors please name and brand, of the knife you use? Thank
A bone folder- used for book binding- is a great tool for burnishing. Has the hard rounded edge you look for and no risk of cutting yourself.
Appreciate the heads up Geoffry thank you ~Peace~
Great video, Zed. Adam is a talented craftsman and a natural teacher. Haven't seen the "promised" video on design, so allow me to direct others to a series of tutorials by David Nicholls on drawing Celtic patterns (among others). I suspect Adam uses something similar in his design process. Cheers.
Thank you kindly Peter, yes it's all down to logistics and time as we live quite far apart and we both work full time, but still plan to film the more advanced side of things when circumstances permit ~Peace~
Awesome decorating technique!
Thank you for sharing this interesting inteview/tutorial
Gracias dude ~Peace~
thank you
Thank you kindly ~Peace~
Hi! Good presentation. Thanks!
Thank you Pawel! ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors - Yes! Peace!
Most enjoyable
I too love the tee shirt
You are very kind Tom thank you ~Peace~
Beautiful work! I enjoyed your video very much. I've tried doing chip carving on spoons, but this Kulrosing technique would seem to allow for a lot finer detail. I'll try it out! Thank you. John, Wasilla, Alaska
Appreciate your kind words John and wishing you the best on trying out the Kolrosing technique ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors , good choices for burnishing could be an intaglio burnishing tool (used to fix areas of copper/zinc printing plates you screwed up) or a bone-folder (used to crease/score paper for book binding). In the US I've been able to find them at Dick Blick Art Supplies and a few smaller local fine art shops.
Appreciate the heads up Andrew, always good to know of alternatives ~Peace~
Brilliant! A follow up would indeed be most valuable.
Than you kindly and I hope to be seeing Adam in the new year for more filming ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors awesome
Awesome m8t. Atb.
Thank you kindly dude ~Peace~
Awesome videos bro by the way bushcraft hero's recommended your channel.
It's a pleasure to be connected and sincerely appreciate your kind words dude ~Peace~
The man's a genius! peace
Amen to that, and very humble too ~Peace~
Top vid Zed...
You are very kind thank you ~Peace~
You should tell Adam that a Hawaiian Guitar Steel is perfect for burnishing. It's small, smooth, steel and cylindrical, and it fits perfectly in the hand.
Appreciate the heads up on that thank you ~Peace~
This guy is sooooooo stoned. Isn't he? In love you guys!
Alas no just a very chilled guy, appreciate your kind words my friend :) ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors Peace❤️
Man, Adam is the savant of the green wood guys ... his work is really something else. I have been experimenting with the coffee technique to darken the pattern, but usually end up just making the overall wood dark instead. Hhmmm ... must be doing something wrong?! Thanks Zed, for posting these great videos and keep up the good work!
Once again I do appreciate your kind words, indeed Adam is one of the most talented yet humble guys I know ~Peace~
Boozoo Chavis No promises, but try rubbing off the staining after that step. Lots of jewelers polish off "staining", intending the engraving to keep the burnished coloring. You could try a very fine grit sandpaper and stop as soon as it gets just a bit lighter...?
I use a shot glass for burnishing spoons. It's especially great for the bowl.
Oh nice I appreciate the heads up Mr Roberts ~Peace~
I just recently discovered this as the origins of my last name. German names were often derived from occupations.
Thats cool to hear and indeed, names were associated with trades back in the day ~Peace~
Awesome shirt Zed! The video ain't bad either :)
Allow the video it's all about the attire bruv ~Peace~
Adam makes it look so simple to create these wonderful embellishments. When will we see some work from you attempting such intricate carving, Zed?
Indeed Adam is incredibly talented yet very humble, gosh gonna be a while before i'm able to pull off the same level of carving as Adam ~Peace~
Not expecting a Michelangelo or DaVinci masterpiece, just wanting to see how you've progressed in the interim.
I want that t shirt! I off to the workshop to make myself a kolrosing knife😉
Thats awesome Robert, let me know how yo get on with making the knife! ~Peace~
I'm so doing this. Cinnamon kolrosed spoon for cinnamon!
Sounds like a plan! ~Peace~
That's some amazing work. I wish I had the patience to do that.
Could always go for something much simpler in terms of design ~Peace~
I would love a knife like the one he uses for his designs. I wish I knew how to get one.
Speak to my buddy Lee who makes these knives, it's the same one I use - covertcraft.com/
Great video. I'm very interested in kolrossing as an ornamentation method. Any videos that I have seen on kolrossing show a different method whereby the powder is added to the wood before oiling and then the spoon is oiled and sanded. I would really welcome a discussion on this.
Many techniques for doing this as with most things, for Adam it's a formula he's developed over time that serves him well ~Peace~
Yo Zed, nice videos, man!
Nice pants u're wearing, too!
Gotta say something about the cameras though.
Buy a second 1, use both on a statif, and use the best 1 for zooming in like u did on the kolrosing.
Keep the camera fixed to 1 point and don't make it move.
I believe this will significantly improve your vids, which are already ACE though!
Keep up the good work!
Blessings, Robby
Thanks for your kind words Robby, yes reg camera work mine isn't the greatest but all being well i'm investing in a brand new set up in the very near future so hoping to significantly ramp up the quality of my video ~Peace~
Hi Zed, love your series of videos. Been doing some kolrosing over the last year or two with my Mora Sloyd (106 I think), but would like a blade that is thicker and shorter like the one Adam was using. Do you know which knife he was using?
Hi Bill, Adam was using a knife made by a French maker. If you're looking to get one then may I suggest purchasing one from this maker: belzeboocrafts.blogspot.com
How did you travel back in time and get a young Eric Clapton, thanks for the two videos you two. :)
Ha! comes to think of it he does like him ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors Sounds more like a young Pete Townsend to me.
I thought that was Robert Deniro, lol:)
"You talkin to me?"
Hehe many thanks for watching Peter :) ~Peace~
Scandi ground with a crowned spine got it...
Thank you for watching Charlie ~Peace~
Hey Zed nice video. I use an old engine valve, and/or a polished bone to burnish. Have you ever burnished the entire spoon ? ATB
Check out a friend of mine on Instagram called 'Klipnocky Woods' he's an extremely talented spoon carver and burnishes all his spoons with antler ~Peace~
looks like a marking knife, especially the single edge japanese style. "kiridashi"
If it has a wide bevel then it should work ~Peace~
I love your videos Zeb,
Do you know where Adam got his preferred kolrosing knife? I've been looking for one like it but. can't find one. Thanks, peace.
Hi Andrew thank you for your kind words, yes if you speak to Lee Stoffer he does some fantastic Kolrosing knives. Feel free to message him on his website - covertcraft.com/
There's enough oil there for few spoons,nice work
Many thanks for watching Wayne ~Peace~
Hi guys, great video! A few quick questions:
1. Can you make the lines look larger/slimmer or darker/lighter by changing your technique? I.e. Making the cuts either deeper or shallower or thicker/thinner in certain spots for accenting?
2. Does kolrosing work on all types of wood - fresh or dried?
3. Can you guys keep on making awesome videos?
Thanks!
Hi Morgan, regarding your questions (1) Indeed yes, use a test piece of wood to try different pressures, angles, etc (2) Yes it does but the darker the wood the more difficult it will be to see the lines (3) We hope so!! :) ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors Perfect, thank you! I appreciate the timely reply
mr zed outdoors thats an interesting gusset on your jeans.
I like to think of myself as attempting to be fashionable ...still got work to do on that I think ~Peace~
So it's tattooing for wood then?!
Damn Zed looks like that shirt is going to cut your head off!! 😉
Got to love your unique style!
Their is only one Zed Outdoors!!
You the man Tim thank you ~Peace~
I'm only playing Zed 😉
I love your style of video packed full of quality information,
Looking forward to the next episode.
Also on a side note, you should come down to north Devon mate, Westward Ho! Look it up only place in the country maybe the world with an exclamation point in the name 👍 We camp right on the coast in the summer catch Bass, Cod, pollock and swim down on the rocks and find lobster and large eating crabs it's awesome, you will need a tent though no trees but we find plenty of drift wood for a fire 🔥 all weekend! Anyhoo great stuff ✌️All the best Tim 😎
nice video. If I like my coffee white should I use milk instead of linseed oil?
Only if its semi skimmed ~Peace~
You oiled first then added coffee. All other videos I watched cut and then directly applied coffee, burnish, sand, and then oil or finish (I plan to use tong oil on basswood). Is it important to oil first to get stain to take better?
People have their own preferences, this is what happens to work for Adam ~Peace
My design has wide portions that are not just simple lines (perhaps 2mm wide). Is there a way to Korose these sections as well?
You are only limited by your own imagination with designs during kolrosing, best of luck ~Peace~
👍👍🤠🤠🎯🎯
Appreciate you watching ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors thank you sir, excellent show I am a carver! I will be watching👍👍🤠🤠
is the process the same if you were to use charcoal instead of coffee grinds? would charcoal work or would it stain the entire surface?
Yes the same process for charcoal, as long as you have made good enough incisions then it should not stain but also make sure that the charcoal is ground up properly ~Peace~
beautiful art work i would love to eat ice cream with it ,
Ice cream tastes better when eaten with a wooden spoon ~Peace~
I would have some thick leather over my thigh if I was doing that on my leg safety first ...great vid
Thank you kindly, Adam is a professional / full time carver so knows what he's doing and as demonstrated in the video you brace your whole body & implements the whole time ~Peace~
where do you find these people Zed! do you have some sort of who's who of obscure crafts?
Give it time and they're gonna start getting even more obscure ;) ~Peace~
Great video! But is the kolrosing done when the spoon is still green, or do you have to let it dry first?
Hi Paul it's best to let the spoon dry a little as that will help get cleaner lines when kolrosing, best of luck and many thanks for watching! ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors thanks a lot! That’s really helpful. 😁
Thought we'd found a use for decaffeinated coffee, I was wrong
Coffee is king ~Peace~
Hey, should I be doing this green or dried?
I've been waiting until its dried but to save time is it possible green?
Ideally when it's dried so you can a cleaner finish ~Peace~
So, my understanding is the traditional colourant is ground inner birchbark. That orangey brown stuff, dry it, and grind to powder.
Hi Leigh many different colourings have been used over time and is fascinating to explore ~Peace~
riot
I predict a... ~Peace~
