Beautiful work. Nice control with some pretty heavy cuts. I'm definitely jealous of your hand axe. It's a beauty.

[@michaellionart4841]

That is a work of art in the shape of a spoon 🤩

[@basstoune1843]

Merci pour cette vidéo, elle m’a permis d’énormément progresser. Magnifique cuillère!

[@peterribolli8300]

No abrasive paper =master at work. Great demonstration of technique.

[@MrDancingBishop]

He's a fecking master. Those angles are so fecking hard to control

[@dragosbalasoiu2384]

Not a how-to, but for someone looking to learn the craft past the basic knowledge you captured some great knife strokes. I found it super useful 😁

[@dylaniwakuni]

That's great to hear! 😃

[@AnthonyFlueallen]

Pretty amazing - one min he’s cutting small tiny pieces to shape one section, and then the next he’s cutting huge chunks of wood off the handle 😮 - truly an expert at the craft!

[@joeschang28]

Max’s awesome as usual!

[@NathanMaingard]

Such a pleasure to watch this process, a huge reminder of how far I have to go and the inspiration to keep on keeping on!

[@dylaniwakuni]

Great to hear that! All the best to you! 👍

[@bartonjackson2726]

Absolutely beautiful spoon. Thank you!

[@Hutch5321]

Amazing! All I did was watch the video and my fingers started bleeding.

[@soulkitchen1979]

I have several of Max's spoons. They are incredible!

[@dylaniwakuni]

Yes, they are incredible indeed! 😊🙌

[@joanneg7646]

[@FreakingRandomName]

At some point i was thinking "that's it, this guy is finishing the whole spoon with that axe"

[@zanlehman5208]

😀I know, I thought the same. Axe carving skills-exceptional!

[@dangolfishin]

Mind blowing skill

[@bigdragon261]

Omg, with my 6th spoon done. I have a long way to go. That and actually working with green wood would help. That way so beautiful.

[@arendvandecasteele7375]

Beautiful

[@kimpetersen4118]

Unbelievable- woow

[@Lou.B]

[@Cloudstrife112233]

What wood are you using? It's absolutely gorgeous. And i love the lines on your spoon.

[@bluesky5542]

Hallo Gruesse aus Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan Canada Gute Arbeit. Ich mag Dein Messer , Axt und das Loeffel carving Messer. Alles Scharf und das ist die halbe Arbeit. Der Loeffel sieht sehr gut aus mein Respekt. 👍

[@osmanhoca-ali7893]

Good job

[@MarceloPaste]

I make this seems so easy hehehe nice job! By the way, what kind of wood was that? It seems so soft and good to carving

[@TheMagicRonin]

Thank you. Nice work. What wood have you used? Gracias. Bonito trabajo. ¿Qué madera ha usado?

[@marr123n]

it seems to be beech wood!

[@zanlehman5208]

If you have a link for any of your tools, I’d appreciate it!

[@delgiu3536]

me encanta que en el buzo diga "patagonia" visitaste argentina?

[@zanlehman5208]

What kind of hook knife are you using for the “bowl” of the spoon?

[@limpermeabile]

Bello! 😍👍

[@chippypete9036]

That’s a sexy looking spoon right there. Can I say that? 👏

[@riripebby]

Who needs chisel sets when you have a supersharp handaxe?

[@boriserjavec6470]

beech wood?

[@marr123n]

looks like it indeed!

Hey buddy, where do you get your carving tools?

[@bubuolinbubuolin5787]

Je to nádherná práce 😉👍 Jen by mě zajímalo kde se dá koupit opravdu kvalitní lžícový nůž! Protože koukal jsem na vaše a ty budou hodně dobrý. Dík Oli

[@harrymason1053]

At 1:59, I like this technique but I would pull my elbows in, feet spread, and lean my body on it, rather than use feeble and possibly tired arm muscles.

[@jiriburda4739]

Ooooo...it's beatiful work...Do you work with undried wood from the forest?

[@esmithiii2003]

What kind of wood is that?

[@markluke8447]

I like the axe your using. Which axe is that?

[@drach762]

Cooool ;D

[@wildbushcraftcamping-5]

what is the tree you use

[@Efficiency1234]

I learnt a lot.Thank you.By the way what tree did you used here?

[@marr123n]

It looks to be European beech (Fagus sylvatica)

[@grantsmith3193]

What hatchet are you using?

[@muhammedadilyurtturk1122]

What type of wood do you use?

[@thisthat6268]

Cedar I think?

[@zwich]

Is it plum? No?

[@marr123n]

no, it seems to be beech wood, spalted which makes it so dark

[@Jan290195]

What type of axe was that?

[@LoAtamosConAlambre]

I follow You on Instagram, I love your work! I'll try to make one like that on futere. Regards from Argentina!

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thank you! Have fun making one!

[@АлександрНеизвестный-я5н]

Привет 11:45- без крови дела не бывает !

[@vikumlvi3248]

👍

[@SingaporeUntold]

Buys a 2 dollar wood spoon at the store. Starts cutting into it. We are the same.

[@Haasteublift]

I feel ashamed of my spoons haha

[@dylaniwakuni]

It's all progress! It can only get better!

[@robertcesena6329]

Great video. Very relaxing, thank you for posting. Was that the Journeyman you were using or the Wayfarer?

[@dylaniwakuni]

Great to hear you enjoyed it. If I remember correctly, Max was using the Journeyman.

[@robertcesena6329]

Thanks. I thought so too, they both have a similar shape.

[@ShimodaLife]

Great video, of an artistic endeavor. What a coincidence to find this one day after I ordered a “spoon-carving for idiots” and two days after subscribing to Dylan’s channel! What type of wood was it? Here in Shimoda I have a lot of beech and citrus (orange) which seem like they would be great for this pastime.

[@dylaniwakuni]

Thanks for your comment! This wood is spalted beech. Have fun carving your spoon! I'm working on one right now as well!

[@MorrowSind]

What kind of wood did you use to carve in this video? And, don't lie either. :)

[@marr123n]

It looks to me that it is beech

[@MorrowSind]

@@marr123n We'll never know for sure though. I need to put "beech" on my to-carve list.

[@marr123n]

@@MorrowSind definitely! It’s my absolute favourite to use! Lovely wood for sure

[@khoatran-pc6tb]

Not a single movement that wasn’t needed. It’s as if he knew exactly what wasn’t the spoon and how to remove it

[@RubenGorceaJr]

Was ist denn das für ne Axt

[@liavanson8687]

Missing the subtitles… deaf people can’t understand it like this 😢

[@aKa55]

ok i give up...

[@AbsoluteAbsurd]

Almost triple 6 likes lets gooo \m/

[@davidhall8874]

Big deal. Everybody carves spoons. How about carving a fork?

[@andrewearl6721]

Work of art, entering your competition as @murraforge

[@sergiyradukh_lviv]

Ще такої красивої ложки не бачив. Молодець.

[@cospittner3526]

I’d love to see his sharpening process/method.

Поки варив суп, зробив ложку. І так кожного дня. Дуже гарна робота.

[@brianbecher5781]

[@JahNug]

Nice. What a beast of a sloyd knife too, it looks massive and sharp as fook

[@Ashysand]

I love this shape.

[@moonbug1963]

Stunning.

[@antoinetpastoor608]

You make it seem so easy. Im butchering a piece of wood and finally ready to dig out the bowl and its way to hard. I cant get the knife in.. is my wood to old?

[@ljcd1197]

what wood are you using?

[@andrewanderson3472]

You should be carving green wood ,

[@hasanfrat2407]

Very nice 👏🏻
