if you treat the wood of the spoons with lemon juice and olive oil you can protect it from bacteria growth and keep it food safe.

[@NorthSurvival]

Nice.

[@wealthmindsetf]

Maybe

[@foox6101]

Or just use mineral oil

[@Barskor1]

Use a Bow drill normally used in fire starting with a tip as wide and curved as you want the bowl of the spoon to be if you don't have a spoon knife. Stones from a stream or river are good for sanding if you don't have modern sand paper. sealing it with beeswax can shield you from resinous flavors of the wood.

I think that was the best outro music anyone has ever picked. I danced through the whole thing.

[@HotKooks]

That bass line tho. That Victor Wooten? 😆

[@ericday604]

it does my heart good to see a young man like your self filling his time with useful memorable activities like this. great job and thank you for sharing the knowledge. I will be working on this with my sons. Thank you and God bless my friend.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you. I am glad you liked it, i agree.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you my friend. This was not any form of survival video, but a bushcraft video, so you bring the tools with you.

[@TheMrhycannon]

Now we need to know how to make a spoon using just a straight knife.. Many of us don't have the scoop knife..

[@NorthSurvival]

+Mrhycannon Burn it out with coal.

[@TheMrhycannon]

NorthSurvival Why didn't I think of that.. Thanx..

[@ben8509]

+Mrhycannon Or carve it with your knife... Not rocket science.

[@Thromper1984]

+Ben A. A straight knife would make the bowl a lot more crude, it could be done, but 10x more time, work and probably more sanding.

[@ben8509]

+Thromper1984 With respects, it's just as easy, requiring a different technique yes. I think people forget there's ALWAYS a level of sanding involved for final finish work. I've sat around many rendezvous fires and made spoons for people. It's just that simple... a spoon. Doesn't require a shop full of tools or special blades. If one is nervous about using your blade, burn out the bowl area of the spoon and finish from there.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you my friend. I am glad you liked it.

[@seoadvertising]

Wow hand carving a spoon is something I would never of thought of on my own. Thank you for sharing your skill with us.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you.

[@GoodSizeAndAll]

I was just looking at some of the comments, and every comment I saw you had replied to in someway. It's nice to see somebody who cares about their subscribers enough to devote their time to them. Thanks. :D

[@NorthSurvival]

Thanks a lot. I have replied to every comment i have ever gotten on this channel.

[@BushcraftPaolo]

Happy to watch your videos. You have a great talent to transmit your knowledge to the public. When I was younger (40 years ago) I lived in a village of shepherds closed to the Alps and we used to carve wood to build up everyday life tools but we used srones to file the excess of wood. I can say that you did a really a good job.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you my friend.

You've a wonderful approach to sharing your passion with others. There is something quite special about hand-made wooden spoons. Thanks.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you.

[@coopersayers5508]

Can you make a video about making a spoon or plate ? I know it sounds easy but it would be cool. If so please reply. Thx. Hålla upp bra vids

[@NorthSurvival]

Blazing Sloth I make a spoon in this video.

[@coopersayers5508]

+NorthSurvival k thanks so much

[@coopersayers5508]

+NorthSurvival I meant fork 😝😝😝

[@NorthSurvival]

Blazing Sloth hahah

[@10kegel]

More than 2 minutes of spoons with music...

[@NorthSurvival]

Yes, but it was some nice spoons, and they deserve 2 minutes of fame.

[@SteveB357]

My, it's good to see someone who knows how to use an axe. Thank you.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you my friend, i am glad you liked it.

[@fireballmalone1]

Wow, those spoons looked like they were machined they were so well made. I have to try this. How would you recommend seasoning the spoon to keep bacteria from setting in. I'm going straight to looking at tools now. Awesome video, thanks for posting.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you. Rub them with some olivoil.

[@fireballmalone1]

After watchin this again I ordered a mora hook knife and a classic #1 to give it a go. Really inspiring

[@NorthSurvival]

fireballmalone1 Thank you.

[@alessandroandrico100]

fireballmalone1 maybe because they are machined...

[@raymae60]

I use a deep gouge and red and incense cedar, which is abundant where I hike. If not in a hurry, I work little faces into them. One whittler to another: damn those Chinese factories. Let's make true art. Thanks for sharing

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you.

[@catnamedeaster5436]

The beginning of this video is great, I think it portrays the fun of the outdoors perfectly.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thanks a lot.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you. I am from Sweden.

[@toffiemonster8306]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY WATCHING A GUY CARVE A SPOON IS SO INTERESTING.

[@cjim2789]

Holy moley best one I've ever seen !!!

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you very much my friend. If you are new to carving i would recommend the 164. It is easy to use.

[@chucksmith4246]

I always wanted to be able to crave a spoon. The video made it easier for me to understand how to crave one. Thanks

[@nico699]

That looks proffessional

[@nico699]

Correct me if i spelt it wrong

[@NorthSurvival]

Thanks a lot.

[@LaughlinMovies]

Bro, that music! Lol 😂

[@NorthSurvival]

Haha, hope you liked it.

[@technikal270]

I could watch you carve a spoon for hours. Somehow it's very satisfying to watch

[@NorthSurvival]

+WatchMehDuThangs Thank you.

[@MichaelAllen22842]

Great video. The "always from the top to bottom" is not always necessarily true though if you have good stop cuts made with a saw at the top of the spoon. Helps with the splintering. Thanks for posting this.

[@lizburgess4398]

Amazing! Do you have to treat it with vegetable oil or something?

[@NorthSurvival]

+Liz Burgess Thanks, yes that will be good.

[@PeachyKeenTeen]

he didnt praise the sun god first

[@NorthSurvival]

Haha.

[@sandihester]

GREAT video - so helpful!!! I'm researching right now how to begin with wood carving and want to make a spoon for my first project and your video has been the best I've found so far - thank you!

[@francesarthur1829]

Beautiful spoons. Just like nature coming alive!

[@gilliantirado6076]

Great work! Keep it up, I enjoy your videos :D

[@abrahmbutts]

I love this music

[@NorthSurvival]

Good, thanks.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you my friend. I rub the spoons with some oil.

[@asiam7436]

Beautiful work! Thank you! You sound like my Swedish grandmother. I was born in U.S.

[@pernellkatchp66]

I made it with woodprix handbooks !

[@NorthSurvival]

Great.

[@pernellkatchp66]

Glad you like it friend

[@ope-aaron]

"They say he carved it himself from a bigger spoon"

[@NorthSurvival]

Haha.

[@theblissfullone]

This was awesome ... I have a new appreciation for the two wooden spoons that hung in my Grandmother's kitchen :-) I might even attempt this myself!

[@NorthSurvival]

+theblissfullone Thanks a lot. Try it, it´s much fun.

[@simonferrer]

Thank you for a very informative video. The spoons turned out amazing!

[@NorthSurvival]

Bak Draft, no i did not.

[@Messiahs]

Happy Wong Nono army! Just enjoy nature

[@keliweisgerber3896]

You can use woodprix instructions to build it yourself guys.

[@NorthSurvival]

Great.

[@jessithom9056]

Thanks

[@KaoV1983]

Thanks for that awesome vid. I'm gonna order a a spoon knife off Amazon! This would be a perfect pass time during the winter. Gonna make a spoon for each one of my little girls. Thanks again!

[@robgepford8515]

Thank you for shareing your talent. The spoons look great and your explanations were great. Thanks Rob

[@danroberts710]

Nice comment Rob. I really think you hit the nail on the head. Thanks Dan

[@NorthSurvival]

Thanks. Happy new year.

[@NorthSurvival]

Dan Roberts Thanks. Happy new year.

[@matthewlavergne5610]

I'll make it myself. Just got instructions from woodprix website and I'm ready to do it :D

[@NorthSurvival]

Great.

[@alexmcgregor7082]

I call bullshit on you using a special tool, instead place a glowing ember where you want the spoon to be hollowed and blow on it until the spoon head center is an ember too, let the hot coal do the work to hollow the space by blowing on it and smooth it out with a small stone when it is the desired depth, all "bushcraft" should be able to be accomplished with a knife, fire and elements of your surrounding environment. -Green Mountain Boys

[@lindabeebe7065]

Hmmm, interesting

[@NorthSurvival]

Sure, you can do that if you want. But i think this is a more "fun" way for people to carv a spoon. Thank you.

[@MrZombs123]

sweeeeet

[@lukeedwards8018]

sounds cools, but it's not carving

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you very much my friend. It was a custom made Helle knife that i got from the army.

[@CanadianOutdoorsmen]

Been watching a few spoon carving videos throughout the day because I hope to get a hook knife for christmas and I actually plan on making a large spoon for another Swedish youtuber that does video game content (not poopdiepie he bothers me) and I plan on dressing it up a bit so he can feel manlier in the kitchen :P This video so far has been the best instructional I have found.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thanks a lot.

[@TCFranklin1]

Lol poopdiepie

[@TherRevenantTiger]

I liked it but the spoon photoshoot was lame xD

[@dzini1956]

ahahahhaaha yeah

[@msikmpa]

+Parker “TheReveanantTiger” Campellone i liked the photoshoot lol

[@dabosspvp1217]

I love everything about you, no homo.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you. Haha.

[@gordman6432]

Damn no homo was a thing 4 years ago? I'm late to the party

[@notmefrfr]

@@gordman6432 it ain't gay if you say so no homo and dont make eye contact. Its also not gave if the balls dont touch.

[@Greywuylf]

I was watching this and thinking "That's too much work just for a spoon" and then I thought, "I am so going to try this!"

[@NorthSurvival]

These skills are okey to use, this is bushcraft, it is the survival skills that you never want to use.

[@madziorus]

Thank you for showing me the way of carving with usage of simple tools :)

[@Waleswales01]

Thank you for sharing I must get around to carving a spoon for myself. then I can teach my Scouts how to do this.

[@NorthSurvival]

This is not survival, this is bushcraft.

[@alwaysasweep9500]

my 8 year old just got her first carving knife and we loved watching this video...know what I will be doing for the next 10 hours

[@13ECHO20]

After watching your video, I decided to try this. I don't know what kind of wood I used, but the curved knife seem to cut easily. (I am no expert wood carver. My spoon reflects my level of knowledge. LOL! I did enjoy making it!) Thanks for making this video.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you.

[@itsandretv]

Thanks, I just discovered a new hobby!

[@AustinArto]

A useful skill; thank you for sharing. I have a thought - Would it be more useful as a spoon if the bowl were cranked up at an angle with respect to the handle? That way, you can dip the spoon in your pot and take the food without it spilling off the end of the bowl. You started with a thick piece of wood, and this would allow this modification.

[@codyshores1581]

The spoon looks like something you would buy from a store.nice work

[@NorthSurvival]

Thanks a lot.

[@L0STH1K3R]

This was a great video I've always wanted to know how you would crave a depression into wood to make a spoon, now I just need a spoon knife. Keep up the good work! I don't know why, but I started laughing uncontrollably when I realized the music being played during the slide show of the spoons was a techno version of "she'll be comin' around the mountain"

[@sparkplug2090]

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing your talent and giving me good run down on how to get this started. Thanks again.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you.

[@annwithaplan9766]

Thank you for the tutorial. I also liked the song choice at the end. We used to sing it a lot years ago.

[@lwm32eyesonyoubrother.69]

Very nice!! I'll make a couple . They will make for nice gifts plus light weight for all packing and outdoor adventures. Excellent craftsmanship! I think I'll soak them in some natural oil for preserving and keep . Perfect and keep the videos coming! Peace my friend to you and your family .

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you my friend.

[@TheBromptonBadger]

Great instructional video, I'll be starting my own spoons soon based on your video.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you. Yes try it.

[@Raging-Wolfy]

in my opinion the results at the end of the video was impressive

[@Raging-Wolfy]

also this is the first video ive seen from this channel and i believe this was a really good first impression. so im subscribing. keep at it dude!

[@Bkcommercialphotography]

Good job! Enjoyed that. Now to make some spoons...

[@cohiak]

your core score goes way up for doing this in the snow! awesome video!

[@NorthSurvival]

+tybo Thanks.

[@NorthSurvival]

You are welcome my friend, i am glad she liked it.

[@Gerggmeister]

Ah I love it! I made a fork once and found that if you soak it in olive oil it acts as a good fishing and keeps the wood from taking in water.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you. Cool.

[@louisemissouri4410]

These are very nice. I love the shape, the one I carved looks more like a shovel. lol I'm going to try this shape. Thanks for sharing!

[@HookedOnCNC]

Wow hand carving a spoon is something I would never of thought of on my own. I was watching my own video about cnc machine carving a redwood sign. What you do takes a lot more skill. As my way to return the favor I have added this video to my website list of favorite wood carving links. I subscribed to your channel because I like your work and want to see more of your videos. Thank you for sharing your skill with us.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you very much my friend.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you very much my friend. The crook knife is hard to sharpen, but try to use a round sharpener.

[@brianwilliams4395]

excellent tutorial. your right on with the patience. I personally leave a very fine tooled finish on my spoons I find that it will retain that finish where as with sandpaper you have to resand every now and then for it to stay smooth.

[@NorthSurvival]

brian williams Thank you very much.

[@rainbowhiker]

That was fun to watch. I'll have to try my hand at that as I haven't done it in a while and mine never turned out as nice as these two examples did. Thanks.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you my friend.

[@alukiian8148]

Nice spoons! These spoons look modern and expensive

It's a website where people can sell their handmade crafts. Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed your video and were really impressed by your skills. I know for a fact that people would buy your wares. They are incredible.

[@NorthSurvival]

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you very much my friend, happy new year.

[@iwantosavemoney]

nice work the spoon turned out great

[@annamuseet]

hey , beautiful to see the wood rings or veins on the final product you made, great!

[@gameragedad8953]

That's interesting, I've never seen a "spoon knife" tool before. I've always seen people carve wood with "chisels". This tool looks a little more laborious to use than a chisel, especially when you can use a hammer with a chisel, but it seems to have more uses. Thank you for sharing.

[@victortobar-herrera4686]

Best video I’ve seen so far and it’s 2021. It’s to the point, simple enough and it looks great 😎

[@natvalera]

Pretty nice! Last month I met a guy on a little island of Brazil doing the same but carving with pieces of glass! cause he didn't had money to buy tools... was interesting. Nice job! Cheers

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you, i think i am good at it but you can always get better.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you. I made these for myself but i have sold a few.

[@WP_Art2d2]

had my doubts for a moment, but it turned out really great. Awesome man! need to go find a soft wood tree.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thanks a lot.

[@miriamdopp6689]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial 😊 I really like the filming locations. Greetings from Finland 🤗

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you. It was a custom made Helle knife that i got from the army.

[@NorthSurvival]

A spoon knife is not a modern tool, and this is bushcraft!
