A couple years back I went on a spoon carving "binge" - you have inspired me to pull out my hook knives. Great video, thanks!

Definitely enjoyed making my first spoons but I may lean towards Basswood or Butternut for the next ones. Thanks for your support my friend!

I have several beaver craft tools, good stuff. I bought their bird carving kit, lot of fun.

With that wood, you probably worked on some muscles too! Cool stuff.

Here, in Eastern Europe we use for making spoons basswood, birch, poplar or wilow. For fancy we use walnut, cherry and other hard wood, but when wood it is green. If the wood is not green you need to make it softer using water and rubbing alcohol ( 1/1). Hope it was helpfull. Have a nice day and fun carving spoon

Any good “food” grade wax works well on anything that will be used in the kitchen😀

Just found your channel and saw this video. I wanted to know what you thought about Beavercraft. I just started carving last winter and got my tools from them. They are great, I love the feel of the handles and the balance. I have smaller hands, so I had to modify the handles a little to get an easier grip, but it was fairly easy. Would be interested to see what you think of some of their other knives. Beavercraft has some good tutorial videos on KZbin also that helps. Can't wait to watch more of your content! Happy Carving!

Honestly I haven’t used their carving knives. They should be good quality. The spoon carving set is made pretty well with decent steel. Ukraine tools are usually good quality steel. Welcome to the community and Thanks for watching!
