Wooden Spoon Carving with Gränsfors Bruks Axes
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 05. 2019
- In this video I am carving out a wooden spoon from European Aspen in the woods of Sweden.
I am using some fine Gränsfors Bruks axes to chop off the most of the wood to form the spoon/ladle. Then using some mora knifes for the fine work.
Tools used in this video:
Gränsfors Bruks small forest axe
Gränsfors Bruks mini hatchet
morakniv 120
Mora Classic No1, carbon
Mora 164 Hook knife
Pencil

Erik grankvist . nice job youngen greeting from UK England near London 🐾🐺👍
@@jamiejarrett4054 In Sweden it's called Asp. I think it is called Aspen in English.
Hi Erik
This may sound like a daft (that is a Scottish word which means "silly"! ) question, but do you still make them, and do you sell them?
Much more beautiful than the machine made ones, and I would certainly be interested in buying one.
I'm a 73 year old great grandma in America and I can't tell you how much I am enjoying your videos. I'm amazed at your skill. Was wondering what the digging under your cabin would create. I don't want your videos to ever end. Keep it up Erik👍
Lovely spoon! I've watched all your videos in the last couple of weeks. I skipped this one and now appreciate the level of skill you had before tackling the cabin. The way you make videos encourages mindfulness practice. I was washing dishes last night, after watching the latest cabin video. There was pleasure in attending closely to what my hands were doing. Making your mindful craftsmanship available for others to slow down into shows a generosity of spirit and also optimism in your belief in the attention span of your viewers.
"that's a pretty spoon" is a sentence I never expected to say. Great videos
Vilken yxa skulle du rekommendera? Gränsfors lilla eller den på 600g
Those Mora Knifes are the best. No wonder, why those traditional knifes still are produced/used/loved.
I just discovered your channel hand have only watched 3 videos, but I really like the way you do it. No unnessesary talking, no hectic cuts, no drama. Just chill and "If you want, you can watch what I do".
Very, very nice. Beautiful piece of work. You are very talented. Best of luck on your log cabin.
Thanks Sue! Glad you liked it.
Best of...log...I"ll show myself the door.
@@ErikGrankvist really, it's so beautifull. I'm from uzbek🇺🇿 I like your life
I just got my first Gransfors Bruks and I am very happy with it. I got the small forrest axe and I want to get one of their smaller ones but couldnt decide which one I wanted...you just helped me decide what other one I want. Great vid
Thank you, glad I could help. If you want to see other Gränsfors Bruks axes in play you could check out my log building series. 👍
Enjoyed watching you make the spoons. Think that I have seen all of your videos now. Looking forward to more especially as you work on your cabin.
Thank you Richard. There will be more videos soon. 👍
Beautiful wood spoon. You made that look so easy. Thank You for sharing your many talents with the world. Mary In Molalla, Oregon
Time well spent, it's a keeper! I enjoy watching your projects. I have the Gransfors Bruks large carving hatchet, it is heavy and i'm almost afraid I'm going to injure myself or lose a thumb.

Erik, you are the most awesome person around. I wish you well, happy, safe and healthy. LOVE YA! And YES I am a Patreon supporter. Glad to help.
This was therapeutic! Great work 👌
It’s my desire to carve my first spoon, thank you so much for this video. Great help 😊
Found your channel last night.young man and your abilities are quite impressive. That spoon is lovely. It is nice when something that is so basic to our lives means more simply because you made it.
Rock on.
🙂😤
Beautiful !!!an inspiration ...
Thank you for sharing, nice work too.
Es una cuchara súper! Tu paciencia no tiene limites.
Beautiful work!
Very nice, thanks for showing us. Take care.
What an Awesome job mate. I wish I had your talent. Cheers
This is wonderful. I really enjoyed watching it. I've made a few. Gransfors Bruks are the best, I fell in love with those tools since the moment I got my first Small Forest axe into my hands. I started carving with the SFA, but have since changed to the mini hatchet for most things, especially spoons. And the Mora knives as well. And your pants...It's really nice to see someone else doing this!
Very nice job carving a beautiful and functonal large spoon! It isn't so large as to not be an eating spoon and yet is large enough to be a good stirring spoon for stews and batters!
Great job!
That's a beautiful spoon!
Thank you👍
Wow, that's really amazing! I just stumbled across your channel a few hours ago and I don't know what to say. You are living my dream. you are really talented and I take my bow that you still cling on to your dream and still are working in the woods. Thumbs up! I had to subscribe immediatly
Du har ett underbart konto. Tack!
Amazing!
WOW ,MISTER YOUR AMAZINGLY TALENTED
Impressive! 👍🏻
Amazing skills ❤️✌️
Världens bästa yxsmeder..!

it's simple. You have to cut everything from a log that doesn't look like a spoon 😄 seriously, good work. I envy you👍
Thanks for the interesting video.
MAD SKILLS DUDE!

Erik Grankvist many lakes in that area?
Beatutiful!!
Me encantan tus videos
Desearía pasar unas vacaciones ahí
Gracias
Nıce jod, great axes
Hehe, love Mora knifes! Got some with handmade grips made of apple. Got the blades from the knivfabric utsalg in summer 1992. ;o)
Aw, pretty spoon. Let me cook for you 😍
Amazing! Wish I could do the same.
Gostei de seus videos.
For convex wooden objects as far as sanding is concerned, it is better to make a stick "in your hand" 8x6 cm nicely smooth and straight and square square.Wrap glass paper in it to sand the wood and sand it like this. Better than on your knees. Faster and easier work. Glue felt with wood glue. For luxury sanding
Ok now I need a baby axe
I fell in love with a stranger? definitely yes
Didn’t think that you could whittle with an axe, and I don’t know what I was expecting
Watching this, I see myself carving spoons and turning wood in 4th grade school:o)
Hah! I didn't know granforse Bruk made axes that small! Hilariously tiny!
I’m watching some more of your videos, and I think if I tried to make a spoon like that I’d end up with a spatula that has a 4 inch handle and no shaping to it all because of one missed cut with an axe,
It took me three spoons until I got something that I liked. I believe you can do it to, you just have to believe and don't be afraid to make mistakes.
You are a very very talented fellow! I have watched all your videos and loved them. But... do you ever make errors? I can't believe you've never goofed.
👍👍
Mãos abençoadas

Looks like you studied Dick Proenneke, Alone in the Wilderness, before you started this project. Great job your doing.
COOL
👌

Mükemmel 😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you! ;)
So amazing to watch you make this beautiful spoon ... You have many talents. So enjoyable to follow your channel. Did you make this before you started your cabin build?
I’m gonna get me one of those badboys!

Mas que faquinha é essa, boa demais! (But what a knife it is, too good!)
Se chama goiva ou formão curvo
@@mainsupp6853 Agradeço, mas não me referia a goiva/formão curvo, mas sim a faquinha mesmo.
@@ubiratanoliveira692 Ah kkkk. me desculpa irmão! a gente quer tentar dar uma de entendido e acaba quebrando a cara...
@@mainsupp6853 Tranquilo, relaxa. Precisamos é mais desse tipo de ferramenta por aqui por um preço dentro da nossa realidade.
Wonderful and detail work you do, this a wildlife hatchet you're using ?
Thanks.
Tem pessoas que lapidao pedra preciosas, ele estupi ou lapida a madeira e fazer escultura com madeira , e planta novas árvores isto e pensar no futuro e no hoje
Now you have a spoon for cooking. Lol.
Imagine if you mixed up the nearly-done wooden spoon with the firewood.
Great job. Hard to see the hours and hours of sanding it takes to finish a spoon, fork or spatula....I do one a week.
They say he carved it from a bigger spoon...... El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer
Love your spoon and where can I buy a pair of your pants your wearing.
I like your pants, what brand are they?
Great job on the spoon! What sand paper grits did you use? And do you soak your spoons in water, allow to dry, then sand again? Thanks!
I am no expert in the art of spoon carving. But I work my way up to 500 grit sandpaper and soak the spoon in different oils. Then often with time I have to sandpaper it a little and oil it again. I just test my way forward and it works. Thank you.
@@ErikGrankvist Awesome, thanks for the info. Enjoying your vids.
@@XxBlackPathxX thank you! 👍
Very nice job. Congratulations on this! What does the rune-like sign at the end of the ladle mean?
It is my sign. It's a spruce tree with four branches representing the "Grankvistar" that are alive today in our family. Our last name Grankvist means Spruce branch.
Erik Grankvist Thank you very much for your explanation. So this really is a very good and meaningful symbol for you. It could be your trademark sign at some time in the future.
@@markr.h.2574 yes true :)
I want a buy this spoon~!
The sides of the spoon by the carving are thinner than the rest. How or where do you dry this so it doesn’t split?
How did you make the fire? (With a match or stones i couldn't see)
Nice spoon btw. I will release a video like this as well in some time :-)
Holy F*CK
Snyggt! Varför valde du asp?
First spoon carving video from someone who isn't a spoon carver. You don't need to be a pro to do it!
Hello, nice video! What wood type do you used?
Skjea ble nydelig :D
Please just be very careful with some of those techniques. The spoon knife with pressure on your thigh made me nervous. There's a couple pretty important arteries not far from there.
Anyhow, pretty work...I enjoyed seeing the Grunsfors in action carving!
Blaklader trousers?
Did you seal it with anything? I'd love to try making my own wooden spoon!
Normal linseed oil works well, dont use modern boiled linseed as alot of those products contain toxic chemicals.
Butcher block oil is sold at most hardware stores. It's food safe.
How long did it take?
I think it took me the hole afternoon. I am much faster today.
👏👏👏👏👌😊🙏🚩🚩🚩
Was the wood green?
Hur lång tid tar det för dig att göra en sån sked 😊?
Be really careful dear..
You work on a piece of stone ⁉️

Mora Sloyd yes. Mora hook knife NO. Well done for managing to make anything whatsoever with that appalling tool 👍
I must agree about Mora curved/hook/spoon knives. I find them aggravating.
