So tickled to have found this, as an older woman, I now don't feel so out of place wanting to carve. Thanks again Zed, you rock.
Hi Karen that is the beauty with this type of carving, it really is for folk of all ages. Sincerely appreciate you watching and for your kind words ~Peace~
I very much appreciate Jill’s detailed instructions. It’s inspiring to see a petite woman skillfully carving with an axe, it’s not about brute strength. No excuse for me to not master the craft.
Indeed it is all about technique and doing things safely ~Peace~
Zed keep the full length vids (on any subject) coming because to those of us who are new to wood carving in particular, we can sit, observe and follow the procedures and always have something to replay and refer to over again and again and are more educational than most.... so great as always, steve.
Sincerely appreciate the support and for watching Steve, I really mean that ~Peace~
I’m about 10 min into this video and it’s already one of the most comprehensive tutorials I’ve seen. Very helpful, thanks so much!
Appreciate you watching and for your kind words thank you ~Peace~
I can not express to you how much I have learned and how enjoyable I find this video. ... again and again. Thank you both!
You are very kind Teresa thank you ~Peace~
I found a great source of wood. At our local tip there's a big area where people bring their green waste. I asked if I could have a look and got some fantastic pieces of apple, casuarina and others i'm not sure about. It was all fresh and fantastic. Next time I'll take my little chainsaw though.. I processed it all into billets quickly and it's swimming in water but might put some into the freezer as well. Fab video - thanks Jill and Zed.
Oh wow nice! indeed the local council depots and tree surgeons are b far the best ways to source green wood for carving! ~Peace~
Thank Zed and Jill. This has answered a good number of lingering queries I've had whilst learning and encountering little issues like the fibres sticking up when carving the neck.
Great to hear this video in some way Jay and worth mentioning that I have all of my tutorials listed on my blog for easier navigation - zedoutdoors.com/video-tutorials
Zed, you’ve done an excellent job being very thorough to get us complete information on the complete process of carving a spoon. I love Jill, and have learned how to hold and use my knife from watching this video years ago. She is excellent! Thanks again for absolutely talking about every detail for us. 🙏
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching Linda thank you! ~Peace~
WOW! Double thumbs up. I must complement you and Jill most thoroughly: Jill for her patience talking and carving and instructing, all at the same time--and you, Zed, for your very skillful videography and reporting/narration; you knew the best questions to ask of Jill, and it really made the video worthwhile. As I have told other worthwhile videographers, I have a library on my drive called, "WOODSLORE"--and this video shall certainly take its place there; this is History.. Thank you, Jill and Zed, for a happy hour! :)
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching. Jill is one of the most talented and humble people I know. Take care my friend and thank you once again ~Peace~
StandsWithABeer I saved the video as well. It's useful and if I want to make a spoon yet, I can by going over what she is teaching.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video. Thank you very much. I wouldn't have minded seeing Jill complete the spoon to her liking. I could have watched much more. I love watching any type of wood working.
🙌
I love this video! I keep coming back to it. Jill's humor and the banter between the two of you is so much fun. I've learned so much. Thanks to you both.
That is very kind of you Wendy thank you! ~Peace~
What an excellent video Zed. Jill obviously knows her stuff. I liked the knife she used asnd could see the benfits of the narrow blade shape. I have made a few spoons but they were not that good, no having watched Jill at work I feel my next effort will be better.
Thankyou
Sandy
Thanks you for your kind words Sandy, yes Jill is a pro at what she does and very similar to your approach to knife making. Wishing you and your family a blessed week ahead my friend ~Peace~
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you Zed and Jill. I love Jill's teaching style. This was tremendously helpful. I live in the desert, so the rain was a like blessed music.
***** lol when I was at the Bushcraft show in the UK last year I met Cody Lundin who was the most happiest there as it was raining heavy ...so you too have that in common :) Thank you sincerely for your kind words and wishing you & your family a blessed year ahead ~Peace~
After carving dozens of spoons, I found it very useful, after the axe cutting phase, using an Old Hickory 7" butcher knife to shape my spoon before carving knife. Thx.
MrWaymanc Yes theres loads of ways to go about spoon carving so great to hear your experiences. Many thanks for watching ~Peace~
Really great tutorial from two people with a knack for teaching. You guys really did a great job of covering the important "how" and "why" questions all beginners will come across and just have to figure out on their own. I have carved quite a few spoons myself and still picked up some great tips and tricks from this lesson. Thanks Zed & Jill!
no name A pleasure my friend, yes when recording this video I was torn between making it very short and leaving lots of explanation out or doing what we did here. Jill is a very talented and lovely lady who's great at teaching. Many thanks for watching and for your kind words ~Peace~
You don't have to keep apologizing for the length of your videos - the detail is the extra value you offer.
I appreciate that Stephany thank you ~Peace~
Her casual, yet flawless use of the axe is incredible to watch. Such finesse.
+TheMoltenSoul Jill is a very delightful and talented lady and was grateful she took the time to record this with me, many thanks for watching my friend ~Peace~
Watched it again. Jill is very likeable and she teaches very well. I would love to buy one or some of her spoons. Might get a couple of tools and give it a go myself.
Hope Cliver Jill is a delightful teacher and yes please do give it a try as it's a great skill to do ~Peace~
This is the best explained and filmed spoon carving video ever. Well done Zed & Jill. Thanks for sharing. All the best from Scotland. Garry
I appreciate your kind words and for watching Garry thank you ~Peace~
awesome video Zed! I have watched many of your videos on the same or similar topic. Pure genius and informative. Facts are that I am running out of videos on spoon carving. I've recently started myself and have the basics in tools. A Ben Orford medium crook knife being my best tool thus far. Jill is a great teacher and she seems so friendly. I've learned everything I know about spoon carving from great people like Jill, Ben, Anna, Lee, and Barn. I'd like to start a collection from greats like these. keep the great videos coming and I'll keep watching. A pity there isn't more emphasis on bushcrafting where I live.
Cheers from across the pond
You've listed a fine collection of crafts people there and no doubt you'll learn lots from them as do I ~Peace~
I really enjoyed your video with Jill. I am just getting started with spoon carving. My other favorites are Jon Mac and Ben Orford. People can Google them if they are interested. I liked the length as it was not chopped up. I could see the length at the bottom of the screen by the play button. If you get negative comments on the length just put a note at the begining of the video that it is about an hour long. Then it is up to them. I would enjoy other carving videos if you were to make them. Once again thanks Jill and you for taking the time to make it. Oh yes enjoyed the rain. I live in Southern California USA near Disneyland and all we hear on the news is how bad the drought is. :-)
Ben Orford is amazing and I was honoured to record a video with him on Mora knife maintenance and sharpening in case you haven't seen it. Best of luck with your spoon carving journey and more carving related videos are definitely on the cards for the not to distant future my friend :) ~Peace~
That is a fab video mate, as you said I will keep coming back to this until I get the hang of it. Feel a bit spoontaneous will go out looking for wood tomorrow. Thanks Zed and Jill a great effort.
A pleasure Alwyn and as always thank you for your kind words my friend ~Peace~
Great video zed . I am new to spoon carving and enjoy every chance I have to carve. She is soo talented and so good at explaining the process. Again thank you zed
A sincere thank you for your kind words Erin and worth mentioning that I have all of my tutorials listed on a page on my blog for easier access - zedoutdoors.com/video-tutorials
This is a nicely produced and really informative video for curious wannabe or newbie spoon carvers like me. Lovely, patient teacher and really sensible interview questions throughout the process. Great job, both of you :-) The duration of the video is spot-on if you want to learn the additional wee tips and tricks that only experienced instructors can pass on and you have the patience required to make a finished spoon from a bare log.
Surfey-Liker I cant thank you enough for your kind words as they mean a lot :) Jills an amazing teacher and am still grateful she took the time out to record this video with me ...best of luck on your spoon carving journey my friend ~Peace~
Hi Zed and thanks for your reply..we have a few acres of flat pasture, a large growing area with Polytunnel and a small woodland which I have been working as it was abandoned when we took it on..it's a fantastic outdoor project area, I am presently building a pole lathe, making axe handles and spoon carving and have many projects I want to get into..when we bought the house 10 years ago, we wanted to try and be self sufficient and know where are food was coming from, we keep chickens for eggs ..
🙌
I love the respect she has for her tools. So important. Fantastically informative video, great teacher. Does anyone know if Jill has a channel? Would love to watch some more wood/camp craft videos
I appreciate your kind words and for watching Rich thank you, alas Jill doesnt have her own channel but posts stuff on Facebook ~Peace~
also the wood
So much learned from this video. Thanks Jill and Zed.
You are very kind Mike thank you ~Peace~
Thank you Zed. Jill is a most talented carver. You are correct Jill is an amazing teacher. Learned so much. ATB
Amen to that, very humble too and down to earth ~Peace~
Very helpful video. You asked the right questions and Jill is an excellent teacher. Thank you.
I appreciate you watching and for your kind words ~Peace~
A brilliant tutorial. Great to work along with. The best one I have ever seen.
Thank you so much Jill and Zen.
You are very kind Clare thank you ~Peace~
Jill is an amazing teacher. Fantastic tips and guidance.
I love what she says @ 54:30 bout not having a spoon knife.
I want a zombie Spoon!! ..lol
Just checked out her Facebook...and Jills ladle's are brilliant.
I am wondering if its possible to make a short stem spoon,
yet have an attaching extension handle to it for the deep
pots, that many hikers use with there dehydration camp/hike
meals....now that would be a big seller at the Bushcraft show.
Excellent Share Zed. Thank you and enjoy yer day . Cheers ;-))
A pleasure my friend and yes, those Zombie spoons are the next big thing didnt you know :) ~Peace~
Zed great video, Jill is amazing at her teaching andvseeing others carve is so nice to watch and with the rain as well it could have been two hours I would still have watched it all.
I only live twenty minutes away so intend to call Jill tomorrow and have a chat and see if I can do some carving with her also keep them coming you are doing great stuff.
***** Jill is awesome and I highly recommend connecting with her :) ~Peace~
I notice that all the wood spoon carving never mention what woods are Toxic and should never be used for eat utensils, Great Video Jill was great learned a lot. 🌲👍👍👍✌
Thats a good point and I have a future video planned covering exactly that topic ~Peace~
Jill was dumbing it down for you a bit, pal! She's great! Good ideas and advice. Thank you!
Many thanks for watching ~Peace~
Another excellent video. I've carved a spoon from dried wood and it's soo much harder than green. Thanks for sharing her talent and your time to do this for us. :)
Hey Louise a pleasure and thank you as always for your kind words. Oh carving from greenwood makes such a huge difference, mind you Jill does make it look too easy lol :) ~Peace~
Love watching and listening to this artist!
Jill is amazing and thank you much for watching ~Peace~
I am just getting into spoon carving, and of all the videos I have watched, this has been the most helpful. Thanks to you and Jill for filming this.
Thanks this is a great tutorial. I was glad to see I have ordered all of the same knives and ax and am excited to get going as soon as they arrive. Jill Swan has given me so much good information from types of wood to the way to use the knife and shaping...
🙌
That was very good Zed. Jill did a great job of explaining things and I'm certainly going to have another go at making a spoon again soon, likely at our camp out that's coming up. I've also just ordered a Mora 106 as well to go with my spoon knife that I've already got. Her tips were great, thank you to Jill as well as yourself.
Rob
A pleasure my Canadian stallion, those hook knives are worth getting too but a bugger to use, make sure not to splice off half your hand using them lol! :) ~Peace~
So much to learn that I'll have to view it several more times. Thanks for a great video!

#Phatoutdoors
My man you are very kind thank you! ~Peace~
Spoon carving Gransförs Bruks axe, mora knife, outdoor shop, rain, and life is good. Thanks for showing you do not necessarily need a boutique pricey spoon knife to carve a spoon even though I am saving pennies to buy one or two of them :-)
As wit everything you get what you pay for but that doesnt mean you have to spend lots of money to buy good gear ~Peace~
Hi Zed, a really great video. I for one am fairly new to carving so this vid was most helpful and Jill explained everything so all could understand. I have made one spoon in the woods and like Jill I used a gauge for the bowl, the handle was made quite flat but wide and I was most pleased with the end result. Thanks Zed for a great vid, I have now subd you. All the best Simon
Welcome aboard the starship ZedOutdoors Simon :) Jill is amazing at what she does and was very fortunate to have learned from her ~Peace~
Awesome axe action, followed by carving virtuosity. Simply inspiring!
***** Thank you sincerely my friend, carving is such a spiritual experience ~Peace~
Another great video and you asked all the questions I was thinking of. But the star of this video has got to be Jill. I know this video is a couple of years old now but I think you should talk her into having her own youtube channel she's brilliant.
Most definitely Jill is awesome and very humble too, hoping to do some videos with her in the new year ~Peace~
look forward to it and hopefully I will have caught up with all your videos by then take care mate.
@@Zedoutdoors Hi Zed hope your well and as you can see I have watched this video before but I'm re watching pluss watching other's as tomorrow I will be filming my first ever spoon carve on my other you tube channel. I've never attempted to carve a spoon before never even used a Axe before or my mora 106 so regretting saying to everyone that I will film it. I do apologise that I've fallen a year behind on your great channel but will start to catch up soon and I will start on your videos with the wooden way he is just down the road from me and would love to do a course with him sometime. Take care zed keep up the amazing content 😁👍
It's gone partly well and partly bad!! Found a knot or bit of rot right in the centre of my ash branch, handle ended up being half the size as I'd planned, but the bowl looks good!! It's now a child size spoon so one for the daughter to use haha!! :)
Great going though, it really does come with practise so kudos for throwing yourself into it ~Peace~
Hi Zed..come and have a look at my outdoor woodshop in gloucestshire and carve me a spoon and see everything I'm up to in the woods..2 man saws..shave horse, axe carving, basketry, willow work, homesteading, rocket stove etc etc..give me a shout and we can come up with a video idea or 2.. Keep up the good work..cheers..
Outdoor WoodShop Thank you for watching and for your kind words. You sound like you really have an established homestead going on which is fantastic, do you live there by yourself? ~Peace~
Thanks, great video! I am a beginner and appreciate some of her pointers.
mike d Really happy to hear this video helped Mike and wishing you well on your carving journey ~Peace~

Great video. Well explained and demonstrated. Thx!
Appreciate your kind words and for watching John ~Peace~
Zed! What a video, man. I loved this one. I saw a few hints that will change my own spoon carving. Also, after seeing your last video, I just had to go check out Jill's FB page. Her work is just lovely.
Jills work is absolutely sublime and she is very humble with her talents. Thank you for your kind words bro and wishing you and your family a blessed week ahead ~Peace~
great video, helped a lot. thanks to jill!
Thank you for watching and for your kind words ~Peace~
Absolutely amazing teacher!
Jill is amazing, thank you for your kind words and for watching ~Peace~
I come from a family of carpet / flooring installers. I was told from early on that you should always cut towards yourself. That way you do not cut the furniture. Skin heals and carpet is fixable, that oak or maple trim is expensive.
Jeremy Talbott Thank you for your insights and experience Jeremy ~Peace~
Great video Zed, It was a long one, but I still managed to pick up a few good tips there. Atb Glenn.
It was really difficult from the get go to trim down an entire days learning into a short-ish tutorial but didn't ant to leave out bits for people following it. Glad you found it useful Glen and a sincere thanks as always for watching my man ~Peace~
Brilliant informative video. Love that you care enough to make these vids
You are very kind Iain thank you ~Peace~
Great video Zed,and not too long at all...really enjoyed it and planning to start my first spoon tomorrow. Keep up the good work! :)
Thats awesome to hear Dean, do let me know how you get on with it ~Peace~
Thx Zed it‘s a very good tutorial.
You are very kind Sebastian thank you ~Peace~
Great video zed
A pleasure Tom and thank you for your kind words ~Peace~
I appreciate you not cutting anything out. great video
oxman0313 Yes I wanted to encapsulate as much of the process as possible as its the smaller details which count. Glad you found the video useful and a sincere thank you for watching, wishing you and your family a blessed week ahead ~Peace~

Zed Outdoors fantastic footage dude god bless you and Jill 💪🐾🐺👌😉💕
Another fantastic vid buddy I found out where I was going wrong in the first 5 minutes haha Gave me loads of new ideas Thanks for sharing the experience ATB Scotty
I found out in the first 5 seconds where I was going wrong lol! :) Amazing what a difference it makes to your technique being shown by someone who knows what theyre doing. Many thanks for your kind words Scott ~Peace~

what would be better to do spoons with a Mora 164 or the Mora 163???
Jill would be better equipped to answer that Kristynna,the link to her fanpage is in the description section ~Peace~
loved every minute of this video
You are very kind Shaine thank you ~Peace~
Thanks Zed & Jill
Thank you kindly Johnny ~Peace~
Great tutorial! Thanks for not leaving anything out.
James Winans An absolute pleasure James, Jill is a great teacher so big thanks to her for taking the time to record this video ~Peace~
If you put it in water will that help keep it from cracking if you decide to take a break for a while
You can do but you need to be careful how long you leave it in there for as otherwise it can soak up too much water and be difficult to carve with. Whats easier is to cover it with shavings and put in dark place ~Peace~
+Zed Outdoors thank you
Brilliant axe work, thanks for posting this!
Appreciate you watching my friend ~Peace~
i love rain!
Hitting the tarp sounds nice ~Peace~
Nicely done Zed, cheers brother..
Sean my man a pleasure brother ~Peace~
