Carving the bowl in the middle of a longer stick, for easier access... 🤯 👍

An enjoyable quick project with practical value.

[@greencraft4783]

Thanks Lonnie. I think people will be needing more of these projects in the coming weeks (I have been looking at your little stool video and added it to my list). Scary times indeed, I hope you guys are well away from it all. Regards to you both.

@@greencraft4783 We are very rural here and so at a much reduced risk. Many of us locals consider "social distancing" a normal everyday way of life. :O) Hope you are fairing well also.

@@greencraft4783 very interesting I’m always up for a challenge I’m always carving blackthorn by hand it’s Britain’s hardest and heaviest wood making great walking and hiking sticks but to the point I made a few wedges from blackthorn they are fantastic start split with knife removed the knife then baton a homemade wedge in bit of Saxon technology but that is as technology I go I never use any modern electric tools in my carving besides it’s very hard to plug in electric tools in wild woods lol 😂 👍🦊🐾🇮🇹

Awesome spoon

[@davidroberts1816]

Thanks for yet another great film . I’ll do my best to stay safe but I work in an ICU so I’ll hope to be lucky All the best to yourself and your family

[@terryshrives8322]

Refreshing! Most guy's take forever starting out with a huge log to make a tiny spoon. Great video, I really enjoyed it 👍

[@greencraft4783]

Thank you Terry, I taught it for years and soon worked out that for folks just starting out, they don't have the muscle memory, so you get accidents. This is ideal for the beginners and those in a hurry.

Great little project. Stay well everyone. From California USA

[@manfredgroebel8257]

Great! Love your projects and accent. Takes a while for a German to get used to it, but lovely.

[@yoiyomismo]

Very well explained and a simple project for beginners. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@northwind9505]

Love it! I've seen too many spoon that should have been wall hangings because of the detail. Yours is bush craft ready. I'm going to move towards your style of soon. I'm not saying detail work is bad because that is super cool too. (maybe a mix of both) Thanks for the video.

[@OoavastoO]

Another great little video. Thanks for that Neil. Something I haven't tried yet but I did manage to cut myself a nice thumb stick out of beech wood last fall, just letting it dry out properly before doing a bit of wood carving on it. Hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy. Take care and ATB - Darby, Nova Scotia, Canada

Great little demo there Neil, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Paul.

[@petertje210]

Another great video, Neil! Hope you stay save and healthy too!

[@TNbubba1]

Lefties do it better. Good work on that spoon.

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Love it Neil. Great little spoon, good kids project.

[@richardoldham6756]

Thanks once again Neil. Love these little videos👍

[@deanpricepestboss]

Easy little video to follow. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼

[@matthewharvey8755]

Wow I'm early lol. I used my band saw to cut some thin fork blanks so when I'm out I can whittle before a meal. I already have several wood spoons. Love your channel, keep safe!

[@allenbishop9154]

Well done sir, one of the best spoon videos I have watched, thanks for sharing.

[@seanthomasdowd]

my kind of project very simple

[@manoftanithsforestpath9615]

Great stuff Neil. I'll give this a whirl

[@clarky4492]

nice job, I may christen my enzo elver kit knife on making a longer cooking spoon thanks for the video, I will have to use the swiss army knife too scoop out the bowl, I don't have the hooked knife

[@billyjoedenny]

fine little spoon my friend ..enjoyed. billy joe

[@8dsacco]

you should contact TA Outdoors and see if you would do a video collaboration with you. That would get your name out there... you have some amazing videos

[@greencraft4783]

A great suggestion - but I'm not great at self promotion!!

[@janewhitzend688]

Love it ❤ going to try this x

[@richardvince6711]

Great little project, will have a go, cheers Neil. ps, what knife is that?

[@greencraft4783]

It's a little puukko from Simon at Ashdown Forest Crafts.

[@richardvince6711]

Thanks

[@stevesbush-craft7033]

what wood are you using.?

[@frederickmerle6412]

Hey Neil, what spoon knife would you recommend for this type of project? Is there a cheap option that is still good?

[@greencraft4783]

Just a Mora one is fine.

[@frederickmerle6412]

Greencraft cheers. I see lots of complaints about those but I think they were recently redesigned etc but I guess they just need a bit of work out of the box etc which I am happy to do. I remember when Bushcraft wasn’t called bushcraft and it was all about getting by with next to nothing and what was to hand. Nowadays its become a designer world of crazy boutique overpriced bling. I am on a mission to find really good kit that is not too expensive 👍

[@greencraft4783]

We are of a similar mind set my friend. Have a look around my videos, there are lots of alternatives to the "brands" , that still perform well (sometimes they need a little work first), but don't cost the price of a ventilator!!

[@frederickmerle6412]

Greencraft brilliant! I don’t want a £400 jacket for sitting by the fire! I paid top dollar 15 years ago for a handmade bushcraft knife that has really ever been any better than a basic Mora! Keep the videos coming, I am a Cargo pilot flying still during the epidemic which means long periods sat isolated in hotels. Your videos are helping to keep me sane.

[@greencraft4783]

@@frederickmerle6412 I use a £25 one most of the time...or something homemade

Очередной диванный выживальщик ! Весело смотреть когда человек носит с собой в поход ложку ,а за одно ещё и ложкорез ,чтобы в условиях близких к экстремальным вдруг выстрогать себе ложечку без заноз . Не удивлюсь если в рюкзаке у него ещё и шуруповёрт ,молоток ,топор ,пила и рубанок-самые необходимые в походе вещи ,которые каждый пеший турист носит с собой и ещё кило гвоздей!
