    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 carving a spoon, something he has never shown outside of his private workshops and seminars before
    Yes this is a very lengthy video but Adam has a very meticulous process for carving spoons and I didn't want to leave any of his valuable teaching out
    His work is internationally renowned so an opportunity to learn and observe his entire process is captured here for you to see

    As always I appreciate you watching

      Zed Outdoors is there anywhere online you can recommend buying blanks/logs for carving?
      Been whittling and carving basswood/lime for a while, just bought a hook knife and mora 106
      Have started a small spoon in basswood. Was inspired by vids like this and Jojo Wood
      Would love to try other woods
      Thanks

    Brilliant. It's one thing to demonstrate a skill. It's quite another to be able to explain it in such a way that, with practice, it is transferable. Best carving video I've ever watched.

    What an awesome master craftsman Adam is, nearly 2 hours of pure tutorial absolutely brilliant.
    At one point i was thinking that he might just go to deep in the bowl ?? Seeing daylight coming through, wonder why it is that you get carried away with hollowing out ?
    His spoon knives are something else, they look like nick westerman ??
    All i have is a beaver craft open type blade and a hook knife from an unnamed set, about 13 quid on ebay, looks like beavercraft but is not !!
    Certainly learnt a lot, thank you Zed & Adam.
    Be lucky.

    This is the most informative, straightforward, and concise instructional video for spoon carving. Adam Hawker is no doubt a true craftsman and selfless in his willingness to share his thoughts and techniques. Yes, there can be many different approaches to carving spoons. None are any better at ending up with the finished product than this tutorial. Thanx to Adam for sharing. Zed this is the top of your video productions. Also, the laid back approach of you two characters, is entertaining to say the least. Both of you "Dun Good".

    Brilliant! A huge thank you to both of you for sharing both your time and knowledge. There are plenty of spoon carving videos around but this is the first one I've found that has gone into the depth that I've wanted. 2 hours of my life that have been really well spent and probably saved days of trying to work out the whole proces by myself....... totally not thinking about the years of practice it's going to take to get good at it. Thank you again 👍😁👍

    Amazing. Thanks for sharing your techniques and your birds singing. Glorious working environment.
    Just when I think the spoon is the best it can be, I see you're just getting started.
    You finish the amazing spoon and then you decorate to send it over the top.

    Great tutorial! Yaks & Unicorns ?
    I forge my own carving tools and only use the finest steel which comes from Lilliput.
    Hardening by quenching the red hot steel in the stale urine from the unicorn which resides in my cellar gives it great edge holding ability.
    Tempering is accomplished by baking the blades inside a loaf of bread kneaded one thousand times on a marble slab from Atlantis.
    After grinding and sharpening, the blades are finished by stropping on leather from the rump of a Tibetan Yak which has been blessed by the Dalai Lama.
    I have yet to re-sharpen any of my blades.
    Oh yeah, the birds singing in the background of the video were awesome! The birds over here don’t sing quite like that!

  • @crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230

    Very informative. I have seen spoons carved out with just knives to hog out the extra wood surrounding the spoon and the fastest way was using a band saw to carve out just about the entire spoon and then used a knife for finer details. I think I like this the best and most challenging out of the 3 ways I have seen. There is much more accuracy needed with the hatchet way than a band saw.

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  Před 5 lety

      Indeed yes this takes more time than using machinery however with this method you can carve anywhere and not be restricted with what you can and cannot do. Definitely give this format a try and sincerely wishing you the best of luck with it ~Peace~
