Carving a Wooden Spoon with Greenwood Forest Craft

[@d.l.barlow8724]

Hi there folks, this is Dustin, the carver in the vid. I've got a new channel up and thought maybe you would like to check it out! kzbin.info/door/jaua81tYnsbn20IESeR_Bg

[@kargo8]

Learning how to even begin spoon carving. This vid was so mesmerizing, I watched it with a migraine. The woods, the rain, the skills, and the miracle of working without incessant talking... Absolute perfection.

[@jarredpiri364]

I would like to see more video like this.. Carving another spoon from start to finish like this one🙂😉

[@Trafficaloco]

thx, i am really impressed with the hachet work. watched a survival video, where he used a hachet, the same way. I will never look at an axe/ hachet the same again.

[@BarlowBBQ]

I’m always worried about his fingers when he’s working with that axe lol! But you’re right Dustin sure knows how to use it and it’s awesome to watch. Glad you enjoyed it! ✌️

[@yellowcat1310]

This man is a master with that hatchet. His carving skills put Jed Clampett to shame.

[@BarlowBBQ]

It's pretty amazing to watch him use that axe! I'd be too afraid of my fingers!! ☝️☝️

[@SammaNoyobay]

Good idea 👍 good video 👍

[@BarlowBBQ]

Thanks for stopping by!

Have always loved woodworking and wood carving shows. Dustin did a great job. Will watch for the spoon in future cooks.

[@BarlowBBQ]

PHIL IN FLORENCE I'm thinking about doing a giveaway for this spoon as we already have a great spoon from Dustin. We've been using it a lot and you can spot it often in our videos whenever we're stirring. 😉 Hope you are well and a Happy New Year to you! ✌️

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Great spoon making. Thanks for showing us and take care.

[@allisonic7]

Those wood curls are so satisfying! Beautiful work

[@lignumvitae1494]

“Arrrrrrrrr” that is so beautiful that spoon! Great wood carving to watch! So relaxing to watch with a PERFECT FINISH. Cheers!👍😊🎄

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Nice video and good job adding some different type of content to your page. Your brother has a real skill and does nice work. Happy New Year my friend.

[@BarlowBBQ]

MeatHead ya know I just may rename the video in your honor lol! My bro is pretty awesome, and I'm glad I had an opportunity to showcase his work. I know he would appreciate your kind words. Thank you, my friend and may you have a blessed and happy New Year! ✌️✌️

[@BiggsHomeCookin]

Nice video Barlows... thanks for taking us on this carving adventure... a give away would be very nice (as seen in Phil's reply). Thanks Matthew for all your support and getting to know ya this past year... Happy New Year to all... Biggs : )

[@BarlowBBQ]

Biggs' Home Cookin' Chris it has been so nice connecting with you (and so many others) this year. Seriously it has been amazing and one of the most rewarding aspects of doing a channel. You have been an inspiration and I'm positive you will continue to inspire me in 2018. I wish you the best and many blessings in he New Year my friend! ✌️✌️

[@campmeatbbqcampmeatbbq7951]

Great video Mathew, Harkens me back to going out in the woods with my dad to get firewood. The whole time your bro is carving I am thinking homemade beans in the cast iron over the open fire with the Barlow family with every person adding their own single ingredient to make it a true family melting pot of beans. Good old fashioned craftsmanship and ingenuity. Thanks Barlow BBQ for keeping it interesting and different. Jay. Camp Meat BBQ

[@BarlowBBQ]

Jay Dalum your comments are always some of my favorites - thank you so so much. That spirit of family is at the heart of what this channel is all about, and I'm so glad I had an opportunity to spotlight my brother's amazing craft. Always appreciate you coming by and taking the time to comment - your support really means a lot. My best to you for the New Year! ✌️✌️

[@TheJohnnyMannion]

Man that was freakin spellbinding to watch! I love watching a craftsman ply his trade! Matthew your videos are getting better and better! D.L. You are amazing! I could literally spend an entire day watching videos of you doing this! I hope you will start mking videos of your work! I subbed to your channel! Dang I’m goin back to watch again!

[@BarlowBBQ]

Onion's Smoke Shack BBQ I was just as enthralled watching Dustin carving be as you were. He has put a lot of hours and hard work honing in his craft, and I'm so glad I had an opportunity to document what he does. I'm sure he will appreciate your kind words. Thank you! I wish you a blessed and happy New Year my friend! ✌️✌️

[@TheJohnnyMannion]

Barlow BBQ happy new year to you and Martha! May you both be in good health in the new year!

[@d.l.barlow8724]

I've got my own channel, so now you can watch more!

[@GoOutsideAndCook]

man, bubba's hatchet skills are ridiculous! I'm impressed. And the vision he has with the grain. I use to a lot of carving years ago but I would have had to do a lot more whittling than hom. No way I could be that accurate with a hatchet. Thumbs Up!

[@BarlowBBQ]

Go Outside And Cook yeah watching him use that axe was awesome and somewhat terrifying as he was chopping so close to his fingers! 😬 I'm glad you enjoyed this one, and thank you for your support. I wish you a blessed New Year, Orrie! ✌️✌️

[@elHobo]

I wish I had the patience and skill to make something like that. Great job Barlow brothers.

[@BarlowBBQ]

Hobo Nichol BBQ my brother has been carving spoons almost daily for several months now. It was so cool to see how quickly and precisely he works. I don't think I'd have the patience for it either lol. Happy New Year to you!! ✌️✌️

[@TexasStyleCuisine]

That was totally cool. I loved watching the craftsmanship.

[@BarlowBBQ]

Texas Style Cuisine I'm glad you enjoyed it and my brother would appreciate your kind words. Thank you Chef Johnny!! ✌️✌️

[@sullysullivan9320]

He's used that axe a couple of times before hasn't he haha. Beautiful work and such a beautiful place to work 👍

[@zoehancock]

Perfect post yoga viewing! I'm intrigued by the pebble burnishing: I've not seen that before. Might try that on my next spoon.

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

Good stuff my friend. I found your channel by this spoon. Glad I clicked on it. Thanks for sharing and I hope you both have a blessed week. PS we subbed your channel and following your brothers instagram as well. Thanks again and have a blessed week Dale

[@Stoney327]

Very good. Thank you for the video. Another Pa. boy. Columbia county....Berwick to be exact. Keep up the great carving. I'm thinking of trying this myself? I carved birds for 10 years, this might be a nice change? God bless: Stoney

[@ChristysCookingLifestyle]

So much talent!! How long from start to finish did it take? Best thing I've seen on KZbin in a long time. Thanks for sharing😃

[@BarlowBBQ]

Christy's Cooking Channel thank you so much! So we actual filmed this over two days just because of time constraints, but if we condensed it into one day I'd guess the whole process would only take a couple hours - not long. Dustin has been hard at work honing in his craft by carving spoons on an almost daily basis for the last several months. Thank you so much for your support and may you have a blessed New Year!! ✌️✌️

[@ImOutdoorzManTv]

Ok thanks

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Great video guys. Seriuosly envisble woodcarving skills! As you said - good beardgrowth runs in your family :)

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Barlow BBQ mm perhaps - but you will get there ;) Wishing you a great New Years as well. Stay safe!

[@basisten00]

Good job and thanks for sharing your knowledge. What type of wood is that?

[@bigal7092]

Hi, great video thanks for posting! Do you always burnish after oiling? Any advantage to doing it that way?

[@Igotknobblies]

Selecting fallen timber is very eco but made it hard work for you but also meant you didn't have to wait for it to dry and oil. No cracking problems. Well done! Personally, I prefer carving 'green', easier on the hands!

[@d.l.barlow8724]

The wood stays quite green while still in tree. Since I cut this piece from a fallen tree I assure you it was still quite wet. These days I mainly stick with carving cherry and sometimes I get to the logs I've cut while they're green 😅, but honestly cherry carved very nicely mostly dry as well!

[@FloSlowBBQ]

I have to settle for buying wooden spoons ... else I'd lose a digit or two on the first try. I admire the craftsmanship and also it's quite a special gift.

[@BarlowBBQ]

Flo & Slow BBQ yeah I hear ya - I'd be so timid with all those sharp tools lol! He has put in a lot of hard work and practice honing in his craft over the last several months and it was awesome seeing him at work. Thank you for coming by and I wish you a blessed New Year! ✌️✌️

[@KondrlasKitchen]

What an awesome job! Amazing skills! Already sent your brother a message for a order!

[@BarlowBBQ]

[@KondrlasKitchen]

[@DG-mv6zw]

Great, satisfying video to watch. Many thanks guys. I'm intrigued...why the exceptionally ling handle in tbe hook knife? Also, what oil did you use in the wood after carving? Thanks again. Greetings from Scotland 👍

[@jdk3127]

well, it ended up as a very "agreeable" spoon. i like the idea of finish/burnishing with the oil and pebble, going to have to try that.

[@BarlowBBQ]

My bro does some beautiful work, glad I was able to capture the process. Thanks for checking it out! ✌️✌️

[@CorbyQ]

Really bad ass

[@CliffManis]

ok, thanks, and I will watch it... to see....

[@Pahka463]

👍👍❤️

[@BarlowBBQ]

😁👍👍

[@stephensimpson3962]

What did he treat the spoon with

[@wubba_chicken]

I’m starting my first project soon may i please ask what the oil you used was thank you

[@BarlowBBQ]

I asked my brother and he said he used linseed oil. Enjoy carving and best to you! ✌️

[@abaddon2479]

Food grade linseed oil

[@d.l.barlow8724]

Hi, this is Dustin the guy who carved the spoon 😊. I recommend raw linseed oil (aka flax oil) or 100% pure tung oil. The former smells less but does not last very long, whereas the latter has a somewhat pungent smell but will last much longer as it dries hard similar to the way boiled linseed oil dries. Personally I use the tung oil.

[@MavTactics23]

Grind off that tip on the twca cam .

[@alexwadding]

What axe does he use to do the rough shaping of the ustensils? It has a very broad blade and a short handle and looks very handy.

[@d.l.barlow8724]

That was a hewing axe I used. It is traditionally used to create flat surfaces as it only has a bevel on one side. The other side of the ace is completely flat.

[@skippyjones2077]

Wow bro you REALLY now how to use that axe nice job great video you rock... Thank you..... ya smoke em if you got em....

[@BarlowBBQ]

Glad you enjoyed it! ✌️✌️

[@hsntrkmnturkiye5326]

[@rogerthomas738]

Great video,what kind of wood does anybody know?

[@katr.9902]

Newbie question: why do you need to get a wood branch at a certain angle if you could just get a straight branch and carve it to have the spoon angle?

[@yellowcat1310]

i think it's all about the grain of the wood.

[@HaythamMahmoud2010]

9:40 Drag voopoo it's my mod 👍👍

[@ImOutdoorzManTv]

Quick question do u have to heat it up for strength and no cracks or is it fine like that

[@d.l.barlow8724]

Hello, this is Dustin, the guy who did the carving in the video 👋. There is no need to heat it up, just leave it to dry in a window or something. Because you are getting rid of so much wood the chances of cracking due to drying are very slim. If you find cracks usually that is a result of an errant axe blow.

[@mikaelolsen971]

*surrounded by 1.000.000 trees* “THAT one tree looks promising”

[@BarlowBBQ]

Lol! 😁

[@maxboonkittypoison]

Hello that was just awesome i wonder wat kinda oil did your brother use to treat the spoon with. Greetings from the Netherlands,, Kitty.

[@BarlowBBQ]

Hi Kitty! My brother recommends flaxseed or linseed oil - he says either one will work. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for getting in touch! ✌️

[@BarlowBBQ]

Hi Kitty! My brother recommends flaxseed or linseed oil - he says either one will work. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for getting in touch! ✌️

[@teegotime]

Make sure you use raw linseed oil. Boiled linseed oil can be toxic. That said I've used walnut oil and have met it with good results.

[@mohamedabou-zaid1979]

What hapens when the green wood dry up?

[@teegotime]

Generally you need to dry them slowly to avoid warping and cracking. Depends on your climate but I've heard people going as far as putting the spoons in a Ziploc that's open with a paper towel inside and storing them in the closet for a day or two. Then, once dry, doing the finishing cuts to smooth out the surface and bowl. I've seen several methods of spoon carving (and have my own), it's really fun to see how others do it, and try their techniques out to see if it fits you or increases your efficiency.

[@santiagopenaloza9401]

Es un hacha Collins?

[@jlouobv947]

Is coconut oil or flaxseed oil enough to coat the spoon with fo eating or maybe beeswax? I've read about issues with linseed oil.

[@d.l.barlow8724]

Hi, this is Dustin the guy who carved the spoon 😊. I recommend raw linseed oil (aka flax oil) or 100% pure tung oil. The former smells less but does not last very long, whereas the latter has a somewhat pungent smell but will last much longer as it dries hard similar to the way boiled linseed oil dries. Personally I use the tung oil. The smell will dissipate as it dries completely. The issues with linseed oil are really only with BOILED linseed oil which has chemicals added to it which can be harmful to health.

[@markirish7599]

Mineral oil is food safe on spoons cutting boards and bowls .hope this helps

[@kittykat999a]

What kind of an ax is that?

[@BarlowBBQ]

It's a hewing hatchet. Typically used for making flat surfaces in logs. The one my brother is using is slightly modified for carving. Thanks for coming by! ✌️

[@Jerseyhighlander]

Just looked through the website and instagram. Really nice work Dustin but you are seriously under pricing your product.

[@Jerseyhighlander]

@Greenwood Forest Craft I can appreciate the sentiment if nothing else but... I'd suggest that "affordable for anyone" is Walmart (I gagged a bit when I typed that word) or Ikea, not handmade, one of a kind. You could probably sell the raw piece of wood for more than you are getting for something you labor over. The cost of the wood, the tools to do it, the wearing out and replacement of the tools, sharpening stones, chainsaws, gas for the chainsaws, the space it takes up in your house...you could rent out that room for storage and make more. I'd guess you're making about $0.50/hour. Cut your finger really bad and see if the ER Doctor will work for you for that little. Then add in the fact that you are severely undercutting everyone else who is trying to make a living doing this. Don't construe any of this to be nasty or insulting. I've just seen a lot of good people, with good intentions but no clue how to price their work, go down in flames.

[@dpl2617]

Spoon carving and cigarettes... strange combo

[@BarlowBBQ]
