Yes, great video, could you tell the approx size of your billet, width, thickness and length, also, it appears from your comments that it is worth investing in good quality carving axe, its just that in my country they are extremely expensive so I'm making do with one I put together myself, I can see that the thinner blade is an important factor, would you mind sharing which one your axe is, thankyou..

Juststarted working on building my spoon mule and you have given me some great ideas to think about. It's a great way to sharpen your drawkife safely.
@johnmutton7992 ай бұрын
I have the double bevel, and got a right hand bevel, but that is not good. It has hammer marks in the actual bevel. And to remove it would take to much metal away. They are not always good. Two have gone back both very poor.

why did he said that wood treated with polimerised oil turn into "food safe plastic" when there is no plastic involved? 7:00
@HuronSpoonCo3 ай бұрын
It’s obviously not plastic in a literal sense. Actual plastic is made from crude oil- which is why I made the reference that a polymerizing oil turns into something that feels like plastic.

Question for you sir.i have been carving black walnut spoons and have had people tell me you can't eat or cook with them because of the chemical make up.should I keep carving them or change wood.thank you.
@HuronSpoonCo3 ай бұрын
Hello! There is absolutely nothing wrong with Black Walnut for food contact nor is there one for eating directly from it. The likelihood of an allergic reaction is almost zero since people with “tree nut allergies” are allergic the protein in the nut itself- not the wood. Hope this helps!

For carving, it is better asymmetrical bevels?

I’m sanding mine, then oiling and then burnishing, but that’s cause I haven’t got your skill yet 😂
@HuronSpoonCo5 ай бұрын
Just a heads up- sanding will almost always leave a fuzzy finish. Burnishing will certainly compress the fibers and give a silkier feel, but once the spoon is moist again the fibers will undoubtedly raise up again.

The transition between the handle and the bowl gets me every time as does the bowl edge on one side or the other it will get real thin and be kinda flat or straight up and down and it loses the rounded look. The other thing is I carve a hole in the bottom of the bowl. Thanks for the video on the keel.
@HuronSpoonCo6 ай бұрын
I think we all struggle with those things until we gain enough experience. I carved hundreds of spoons before I produced one that I really liked and now that I’ve carved over 1,000 I still find something I don’t like about every single one. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Spoon carving has a steep learning curve.

I read that metal shapers used to soak their body hammers in antifreeze to keep the heads tight on the wooden handles. Maybe reintroducing moisture to the wood handle would have been enough.
