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!

[@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!

[@michaellionart4841]

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

[@joanneg7646]

You make it look so easy! I absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing

[@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 😁

Great camera work.

[@limpermeabile]

Bello! 😍👍

[@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.

[@luegott2067]

Wau sehr schöne Löffel in tollem dunklen Holz. LG Lue.

[@jiriburda4739]

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

[@cospittner3526]

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

[@TheMagicRonin]

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

[@marr123n]

it seems to be beech wood!

[@delgiu3536]

[@markluke8447]

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

[@drach762]

Cooool ;D

[@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.

[@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!

[@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. 👍

[@zanlehman5208]

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

[@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

[@grantsmith3193]

What hatchet are you using?

[@Jan290195]

What type of axe was that?

[@bohan3074]

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

[@zanlehman5208]

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

[@wildbushcraftcamping-5]

what is the tree you use

Hey buddy, where do you get your carving tools?

[@vikumlvi3248]

👍

[@davidhawley1132]

So skilled. But I kept on thinking, I wonder if he can whittle up some bandaids.

[@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 ,

[@JahNug]

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

[@esmithiii2003]

What kind of wood is that?

[@riripebby]

Who needs chisel sets when you have a supersharp handaxe?

[@muhammedadilyurtturk1122]

What type of wood do you use?

[@thisthat6268]

Cedar I think?

[@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!

[@boriserjavec6470]

beech wood?

[@marr123n]

looks like it indeed!

[@zwich]

Is it plum? No?

[@marr123n]

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

[@SingaporeUntold]

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

[@user-yt3qo7ij9m]

Привет 11:45- без крови дела не бывает !

[@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

[@Haasteublift]

I feel ashamed of my spoons haha

[@dylaniwakuni]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@chefr.g.j6508]

Was ist denn das für ne Axt

[@aKa55]

ok i give up...

[@AbsoluteAbsurd]

Almost triple 6 likes lets gooo \m/

[@davidhall8874]

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