In this tutorial, Greg takes us through the process of creating a beautiful Greenwood spoon while you are just sitting around. He explains the array of Mora knives he uses for each task along the way....

Very relaxed and peaceful way of going about spoon carving, I'll be re-watching this master piece time and again.

Nice video on carving greenwood and a display of Mora Knives. I love all of my Mora's. I have been whittling and carving for over 30 years and would rate the Mora's as some very fine tools and a fantastic value for the money.

Excellent demo. Thank you!

Glad you liked it!

Talk about a beautiful presentation done so in the most relaxed and calm manner, Greg! I can't help but notice your back drop is to die for too, generations of tools waiting to be used! Warmest regards, Tom

What a nice calming video, really great to watch a true craftsman at work. Many thanks

[@timbeconaus]

Working with Greg is a particularly calming experience in itself, Graham. And yes, he is a true craftsman. As we get time, we will be editing and uploading the plethora of footage we have of his tutorials. So there is more to come! Stay tuned.....😀

Just getting into greenwood in earnest. Love my moras. Those and a sharp axe, I need nothing more.

Thank you for the tutorial. Very informative. I saw another spoon carver who took an old wrench-the type that has for example 5/16" on one end and 3/8" on the other. You cut it in half and then grind down all the groves and then sharpen one side of the circle. Then makes a hanle for it and uses it for the bowl part of the spoon. Looks like a good one to make.

[@Cavycavecircus]

Thankyou for the tutorial. It was very interesting. Just wondering type of wood you would usually use for spoon carving or is any wood ok? Do you have a preference for where to get such timber from?

[@DG-mv6zw]

Wonderful tutorial Greg. I'm a complete novice to wood carving/whittling, and haven't purchased any knives yet. I've decided on Mora, but could you suggest 2 or 3 good all-rounder knives to get started? I plan on doing some spoons so one would have to be a hook knife. I'd love to buy the full set eventually but this would be pretty expensive for me to buy them all in one go. Many thanks. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Greetings from Scotland 👍

[@Michalis_Karakostas]

Nice tutorial sir! Could I skip mora 106 and use mora Companion instead of this? And buy only 120 for more detailed work?

[@timbeconaus]

Yes you can! The handle is different and might not be as comfortable with some techniques, but it will certainly cut 😀

[@Nanakiyami]

You can get the 164 in left handed as well.

[@darrylevans643]

Thanks Greg :) If I could buy 3 knifes to carve spoons with, what would they be? Please and thank you

[@oscarrush2254]

Darryl Evans sorry I’m not Greg, but I’m an advanced carver and this is what I would say. :: Straight knife-Mora 106 or possibly Mora 120 Bent knife - Woodtools - Hook knife -compound or open curve both £40 Or if you want to wait Karlsson tools hook is great. Then if you want an axe - probably best bet is to get Wood tools axe £40 Spokeshave and drawknife I would say buy 2nd hand and tune yourself. Generally amongst spoon carvers, people stay away from the Mora bent knife as it has an inside bevel that can be an issue.

[@darrylevans643]

Hey thanks a lot. I’m definitely getting the 120. The hook knife I can’t decide on.

[@gregmiller7997]

If I had one of the Mora Hook Knives, I would have the Mora 164. The most versatile of the three hook knives I find - though sometimes the ability to sweep either direction is handy with the double-sided hook knives. If I had one Sloyd Knife, it would be the Mora 106. The length is a real advantage, so long as you are aware of where that pointy end in in relation to your other hand! The Mora 120 is the one I use with kids a lot, as the shorter blade is really good with smaller hands - unless you are doing wide sweeping cuts or heavily skewed power cuts, when the longer blade is a real advantage. I hope that helps.

[@hotrodhog2170]

@@oscarrush2254 Mora has reconfigured the 164 and will be released at the end of March 2019. It is supposed to do away with the double bevel everyone has complained about. If you are proficient at sharpening then it is possible to regrind any old 164's to do away with the pesky bevels and have a splendid hook knife.

[@coryboyd7958]

I use a mora 120 as well but I have spent ALL DAY trying to get it razor sharp but can't! Every other knife I use I can but not this one. Is the steel that hard or what?

[@Nobody-11B]

Very hard. You have to go through the grits.

[@billastell3753]

The 106 is a fantastic knife. I can't imagine a better knife for spoon carving. After several sharpening the 106 becomes a 120. I have several spoon knives but I prefer a swiss made curved chisel for the bowl. I find it best to secure the spoon to use the chisel.

[@timbeconaus]

Thanks Bill. Much appreciated.

[@Osefune]

is this the bob ross of wood carving?

[@johnmutton799]

Bloody hell! They are expensive in Australia! Nice vid though!

[@hotrodhog2170]

Very nice video but the $209 for the knives is a tad steep! $130 on Amazon.

[@timbeconaus]

G'day from Down Under, Hotrod Hog. Please remember that we are an Australian company and therefore our prices are in Australian dollars. Being where we are in the world, and with a population less than one tenth of yours, pricing is always going to be different. Thanks for your comment, and for watching.

[@hotrodhog2170]

@@timbeconaus G'day back at you Sir! Sorry, I didn't think your dollars were so far away from ours. Carry on with your fantastic carving
