Beautiful workmanship ❤

[@BoredRanter-oy9gg]

I'd honestly buy that spoon, beautifully carved.

[@Ecila-Samerberg]

I realy like to watch your hands doing the carving technic. And the spoon is great, especially the wood light in the front and dark in the back. Best wishes from Germany

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Thank you so much!

I'm subscribed absolutely love your attention too detail 👌🍻

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Thank you so much.

[@lesliecrowther7004]

Lovely bit of workmanship. It's amazing what some of us can do with small pieces of wood that other's might throw into a fire 🔥 and other's that would just throw it away. Satisfying 😌 therapeutic 😌 relaxing 😌 and pleasure when you admire your finished piece of work. Great job. Cheers Les.

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Thank you so much

На 02:04 - мята. Сразу запах представил, ммм. А ложка - огонь! И подписка сразу

[@samuelalexandershapes]

I love the smell of winter mint

[@timothycastillo5635]

Very nice work!

[@williamtyson9436]

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]

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.

[@miarosie]

I really read the title as a spoon to eat plums with - “plum eating spoon” rather than a plum wood eating spoon.

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Sorry for the confusion!!! It can be used for eating plums too 😂

[@crorolina]

I had to read your comment to realize

[@CookieCrumble27]

I did too. If you hadn't commented I never would have known lol

[@CookieCrumble27]

Me too. I wouldn't have known if you didn't comment

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Sorry everyone!!!

[@craighoover1495]

Beautiful! Subscribed :)

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Interesting how he picked out which sections to use!

[@LeonExcellence]

Nice 👍

[@DeanPilgrimPhotography]

Love it. Do you sell any of your carvings? If not you should!

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Thank you! I do indeed. I recently updated my online store. It can be found in the link on my YT page.

[@markbuten1728]

Do you always carve ‘green’ wood? Ever carve kiln dried wood? You have such skill, thanks for your videos.

[@samuelalexandershapes]

@ always green! I have tried kiln dry - mainly at the beginning of my journey (9 years ago). It wasn’t really fun for my body nor tools. I found myself hacking at blanks with a saw just to try and reduce material. It felt almost as if I was working against the wood. With green timber, it feels so organic and is (in my opinion) the purest sense of working with wood. 💚

[@May-h1t]

What a lovely spoon! Watching you carve with the axe at the beginning was intimidating, haha. Also, I have to ask, where did you get such a gorgeous coat?

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Thank you! Ahh I hope it wasn’t intimidating in a bad way!!! I wish to make carving as accessible as possible. Sorry if it was startling. The coat was an eBay find! I really treasure. It’s been amazing this winter. My baby daughter fits under it in her sling too. It’s been the saviour for our winter walks!

[@May-h1t]

Not in a bad way at all! Just incredibly impressive to someone that does not handle many sharp tools in their day to day life, you make it look easy

[@samuelalexandershapes]

@@May-h1t Ahh phew! Thank you so much

[@aubépine-coeur]

Hi Samuel, thanks for your video, nice job ! I was interested by your shoes... are they minimalist shoes with zero drop ? They look like so, and that's the kind of shoes I am looking for. If it is the case could you please give me their references ? I hope I am not annoying you with this request. Thanks ! 🌿

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Hello! Thank you! They are shoes from Vivo Barefoot. I really like how close I feel to the ground and the textures of the wood chips on the floor.

[@aubépine-coeur]

@@samuelalexandershapes Excellent, I feel the same with my two different pairs of Vivo shoes) ! I didn't know this model, and I find them very pretty, I will go and see. Thank you (KZbin is really a new place to talk 😄) Bye 👋

[@tazminiam5164]

Looks like it'd be great for a rustic soup or stew.

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Absolutely! They are handy little things

[@kos3742]

I was waiting for you to eat a plum with it :(

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Most of the summer plums are in the freezer! I can imagine that this spoon would be good for scooping out the stone

[@aumenjqutube]

So cool man! Where did you get that wool coat?

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Thank you! It was an eBay find a few years ago! Very lucky

[@johnking5730]

True craftsman, great finnish with just a knife and no sandpaper.

[@BobRenda-x8o]

The devil’s grit. Forbidden! 😂

[@samuelalexandershapes]

Thank youn

[@katimaboy]

@@BobRenda-x8o Don't tell me you're one of those ?! 😝

[@Амин-т4х]

Looks uncomfortable to eat with , but at the same time too small to be a ladle 🤔

[@samuelalexandershapes]

That’s the nature of a bent branch. The ergonomics are chosen already. I will make tutorials for both an eating spoon and a ladle in the future… I have perfect wood for it :)
