- I was fortunate to spend time with the talented Owen Thomas at his woodland workshop in the county of Herefordshire in the West of England
Owen is a full time professional green woodworker who’s speciality is spoon carving and bowl turning
In this video Owen kindly teaches his entire process for carving a traditional Dolphin spoon which originates from neighbouring Wales

Huge thanks to both of you for this tutorial 🙏🙏🙏
You are very kind thank you ~Peace~
Wow, I just stumbled upon this vid. as a fairly new learner and it answered about 90% of some serious issues I"m having, all by explanation and demonstration! Thanks so much Zed and Owen, can't say just how much I appreciated this! Man, that boy can certainly carve....phew!
Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching thank you, best of luck on your carving journey too ~Peace~
Another Excellent video, as well as the one on the Cawl spoon. Owen mentioned several nice tips like widest part of the spoon should be the deepest and others. These are two videos I will watch again as they are very clear and concise teaching tools. Ordered a Cawl spoon from Owen to be a visual guide to aspire to in my carving.
Thank you Owen and Zed, and for the templates as well.
Cheers,

So nice of you to support Owens work by purchasing one of his spoons and indeed yes I learnt lots by filming Owen, he's learnt from some of the best teachers in the UK so is a body of knowledge. As always Michael I appreciate your kind words and for watching ~Peace~
Thanks again gentlemen for another great tutorial video!!! After the cawl spoon video, I was really waiting and anticipating this one. Thank you both for your time and effort. ✌
As always you are very kind Maurice thank you ~Peace~
Thanks Zed and Owen. I got a lot out of his explanations and watching his method of work. I'd swear that at around 39 min I felt some of those chips hit my right ear. ;-)
3D spoon carving ;) Sincerely appreciate the kind words and for watching ~Peace~
@@@Zedoutdoors - And, I forgot to mention, I am from Wisconsin too! (Took a class in April from Tom Bartlett of Silva Spoon in Madison.)
Ah nice both great folk! Tom is originally from my neck of the woods here in the UK :) ...you have some talented folk in your state ~Peace~
Thank Zed and Owen. I can see i need some more practicing with my twca cam. I have only used my ordinary spoon knife on dolphin spoons so far. Twca cam is not an easy tool to master. Keep up the fantastic work Zed.
I have yet to use a twca cam and like you said it takes time and practise to use it properly. As always appreciate the kind words my friend ~Peace~
Great to see the twca cam in use and used so skillfully - great vid 👍👍👍
Amen to that, it's a tool i've yet to use personally so learnt lots filming Owen putting it to use ~Peace~
These last two vids were really good. Good info and techniques.
Very kind of you to say so Joseph thank you ~Peace~
Excellent work the both of you, will be attempting that and hopefully won't end up with a Manatee...Thanks as ever.
Best of luck and many thanks for watching ~Peace~

Your work is very wonderful.
Indeed he is very talented ~Peace~
The area dolphin spoons come from is north wales, caernarvonshire in particular
Ah nice appreciate the heads up thank you ~Peace~
That wood seems to be very hard, to resist those blows that you apply to it with the tools, what type of wood is it? congratulations for your work; very beautiful.
Thank you for watching, the wood species is mentioned in the video my friend ~Peace~
Niiccceeee work mate.
G'day from Australia 🇦🇺
Lord Fewson thank you kindly my man! ~Peace~
welp it was bound to happen, got my first nasty cut on my thumb the other day from carving. time to heal and then get back to it
Sorry to hear that, hope it heals and take care moving forward ~Peace~
Twisting your knife reduces the cost of BANDAIDS.
Safe technique is always important ~Peace~
Love the carving videos. Dose anyone ever use a kukri instead of a hatchet?
Thank you kindly Tom, at a push you could use a Kukri but it may get dangerous using that for the finer axe type cuts ~Peace~
o0, Nice i d/l this pdf. I am going to give this a go.i have made a load of spo0ns & kuksas & bowls in the past shortly i will try this 1!
Very cool, yes hopefully the template will help you carving this style of spoon ~Peace~

Zed, Owen and spoon 😉 thanks
Thank you kindly! ~Peace~
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Please can you say what tools you used? I need to kit myself out as there are so many knives and axes to choose,
Hi John we did mention the names of the tools in the video, if you are starting out then the tools you choose all depends on your budget. As a general advise I would get a Mora 106 straight carving knife, Ben Orford spoon knife and a Robin Wood carving axe ...all these three are great tools for a budget ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors ok great thanks!! And if I want to get tools of mid to premium quality? Living and training in the forest is my life. It gives me tremendous peace especially when working away from home and missing my family. I want to buy this weekend so will be grateful for advice again.
What happened to your shelter build?
Back there soon Joe as been really busy with work ~Peace~
