LOL 7.5 minutes into it you finally get your fro in there! I was like, “Dude, where is that fro…ooh there it is!” Also, if you make yourself a couple of fatter wedges from scrap wood or branches you’re not using, when you lay the log down in its side they can REALLY help you drive separation. A couple of fatter wedges could definitely spare you a bit of effort. Unsolicited advice, take it or leave it :-). Thumbs on the vid!

Yeah this was by no means a master class on splitting a log by hand lol. This may have been the hardest log I’ve ever tired to split , very twisted. I have a few wooden wedges but I could definitely make more. Thanks for watching ❤️

You are a connoisseur of the beauty of wood but also of its whims. Will you leave the bottom of the ladle as it is as forged or will it be polished?

@modestgreenwoodcarving2899 3 ай бұрын

I don’t do any polishing, everything is finished with a sharp blade ,burnished and oiled. Those three things create a very smooth finish

Just curious....I am new at making spoons and was wondering if this was green wood? When I split my firewood in the winter I am always finding really pretty pieces and now wonder if I could have used them? Since I only heat with wood I always have a huge supply but it is seasoned about a year. Maybe it matters the kind of wood? most of mine is hard wood. Good for heating, but maybe not for carving? Being new I do not want to start with wood that is terribly hard to carve and get frustrated. Thank you.

@modestgreenwoodcarving2899 4 ай бұрын

This piece was stored as a log with the ends painted for 1.5 years or so. It loses moisture more slowly that way so it was simi green. Depending on the wood species and how dry it is will depend on how hard it to carve. I’m mostly carving hard woods but generally not anything super dry. If it’s too dry most hardwood are going to be a lot more work than it’s worth. You could always try carving something small and see how it feels.

Beautiful.. beautiful.. If you want a brojen heart, now try selling it and then work out your hourly rate. I always cut my own throat to make sales. Depending on a few different factors many markets can be hit and miss regards expected pricing. I found more purity and cathsrsis in gifting items to loved ones. I saw the wisdom in gifting items to the bitch mother in law and folk who might not "deserve" a spoon. When in fact they are the one's that "need" the love more eh

Been checking ye vids out buddy,, i subbed in too.. depending on when you decide to have a break/ rest,, using hand tools can be devastating to ones hands/ tendons/ wrists and elbows. And whilst my back is fucked ( tumour on my spine, nothing to do with green woodworking),, i believe that the Akido wrist and hand stretches that i did multiple times every day allowed them to withstand the punishment i used to give them without long lasting injuries. You might well know this, but green wood, ( fresh cut wet wood) carves a 1000% easier than seasoned wood. There's both pros n cons to carving wet wood vs seasoned wood . The block you are splitting here sounds super seasoned.
