It finds us all the better for finding your video in our feed, Andy!

Wonderful to hear 🙂

Thank you Mr. Andy, I always enjoy your videos and watching the process of making spoons. I hope to be carving spoons myself later on this year. Have a wonderful day sir.

[@andyspoons]

Thank you so much for watching!

Fantastic video. I'm thrilled that you decided to talk us through the process. I've watched most of your videos and you've been my primary education on spooncarving... so hearing you talk is invaluable. Thanks Andy!!

[@andyspoons]

Wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for letting me know 🙂

I’ve just started whittling and found your advice on the axe swing really useful, can’t wait to try it out!

[@andyspoons]

Happy to hear that, thank you for watching!

Thank you so much!

Amazing piece of wood and a very good tutorial! Thanks Andy. I recently made my first two spoons and this gives me a better idea on what to improve and how to think about it. Cheers!

Fantastic to hear, thanks for watching!

Another great video! Would you suggest the gransfors wildlife hatchet for spoon carving? I find the Swedish carver is just a bit to bulky for me so I was wondering your take on the wildlife hatchet.

[@andyspoons]

I have seen a lot of carvers use one, for sure! The lack of "toe" on the blade is something I would miss, but a great choice!

[@АлександрНеизвестный-я5н]

Спасибо за урок :)

[@andyspoons]

Thank you for watching!

[@susanp.collins7834]

Andy, how's going with your hands/wrists? You had inflammation... Are your hands healing a bit now?

[@andyspoons]

On the mend, thanks for asking!

[@darrengreaves3068]

Hi Andy another fantastic video I've been watching your vidios one at a time really clearly learning how to do carving in detail absolutely fantastic. Can I ask the gransfors bruks carving axe the left handed version or just the normal straight bevel as I am also left handed. Keep up the fantastic videos take care

[@andyspoons]

Hi Darren, thank you so much for being here! So this axe is an equal bevel, I recommend that for either hand if it's going to be your primary axe 🙂

[@darrengreaves3068]

@andyspoons Hi Andy thank you for letting me no about the Axe . Keep up those fantastic carving videos because they are just brilliant take care buddy 👍

[@DrChattan]

Great video but watching makes me nervous. You spent half the video cutting g toward your own hand. Very dangerous.

[@andyspoons]

I'm not sure you understand the mechanics of a pull cut enough. I can guarantee that after literally thousands of spoons, I have never cut myself during a pull cut. Not once. Feel free to check out some other videos where I cover the technique in more detail
