Do you use a spoon mule with drawknife sometimes ?
@samuelalexandershapes 2 күн бұрын
Good question! I have done. It’s definitely faster but I feel more connected to the material when I can hold it and rotate it if that makes sense..? I will be making some stools to practice chair making soon and that will require the use of the drawknife a lot more.

Does the same technique apply to the double-sided twca cam? You seem to handle the newer version much more gently!
@samuelalexandershapes 3 күн бұрын
Absolutely. The same applies. I’d say that having a double edge makes one a bit more present in the making process as you don’t need to pause to swap tools… the overall carving seems s bit more fluid and intuitive

At first, it really wasn’t sure. The beginning shot took hours for it to appear. The end shot took 10 minutes… I like to think it was the bowl… but I think it’s just becoming more brave

Most enjoyable videos I've seen for a while. I have a thing for wood at the moment. My farther was a joiner, so I grew up amongst shavings and dust. Unfortunately he was not a good teacher and I was not a good pupil! I lost my dad a couple of years ago, and not learning anything about woodwork is a big regret. Listening to your tools cutting so beautifully takes me back to the chisel and smell of timber. I really appreciate the work you're doing, you are a good teacher and highly skilled. Hard on the body though, so be careful. I was a bricklayer, now disabled through silly things and not looking after my back it's in a bad way now. Anyway, I think you have inspired me to try something with wood. By the way, top mallet and axe work!

This is a really lovely message, thank you. I am so happy that you can reconnect with your father through making. Craft really is a beautifully holistic way of being present and mindful. I am so happy you can feel inspired to work with wood again. Thank you for reaching out. 🙏

Lovely crook spoon! Thanks for putting the time into making both the spoon and video. Branches with cranks/crooks have fascinated me over the years and are the reason I got into green woodworking. I am happy to see someone share the process. It is always interesting to me to see how other people go about it. What are your plans with the other crooks? I admire how each shape is unique and communicates with you what it wants to be.
@samuelalexandershapes 12 күн бұрын
Thank you so much for sharing and for watching! Crooks are just a marvel and a beautiful collaboration between material and maker. Like plums, they are the fruit for spoon carvers! The others will be used for other spoons eventually.. They are in the freezer, being saved for a rainy day. Thanks for following along.

Thank you for making this video. I just wanted to ask… is it necessary to have both right-handed and left-handed Twca Cams? I use a wonderful tool maker in Kharkiv, Ukraine (Strongway Tools), and they only have one Twca Cam on their site (I’m assuming it’s a right-handed one).
@samuelalexandershapes Ай бұрын
Hello! Sorry for the late reply. I'd say it is necessary to be able to work the grain from both left and right into the bowl from the end grain. I know some makers are now developing double edge cams!
