How I Carve a Spoon from Start to Finish - Narrated Version

[@danielherndl7264]

This is the kind of video, KZbin was made for. You explain your hobby from start to finish, using a calm and beautiful way to explain everything well and the calming music and your adorable dog make the video perfect. No clickbait, no exciting boss music or hyped voices.

[@AdamiIAm]

Very! Nicely done...I'm feeling motivated to start carving again (as a novice); Thank you... More videos Please (New Subscriber) 😊

[@nadavartandwood]

thank you, this is a lot of work and your words help me to remember that this platform can be good for sharing my passion (:

Awesome video, thank you!

[@podden22]

First time on your channel! The light, the music, the narration, the company of a dog, and seeing the spoon brought out from the tree branch. So relaxing!

[@nadavartandwood]

I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed it😊🙏🏾 hope you will enjoy all that is about to come 😁

[@JustJonNoH406]

Me too!Literally couldn’t have said it better.

[@dowo111]

I agree

Totally agree as well! Thus was also my first video of yours I've seen and it was excellent.

Beautiful filming, narration and carving A beautiful spoon

[@valeriepepin7522]

I love the way you permit your dog to be on the table with you, the light and the view...and all the peace you give us. Thanks you❤

I hope he washed his hands every time he pet the dog then handled the spoon.

[@colinwood8812]

This video was created as beautifully as the spoon itself.

[@crescentwalker]

I've been carving spoons for 6 years and I still picked up a couple of tips from watching your technique. Thank you, that was a pleasure.

[@nadavartandwood]

Happy to hear😊😁

[@maccaster4454]

I almost fell asleep watching this video - not because it was boring, on the contrary, it was calming, yet useful. You should definitely keep doing so:)

Thank you☺️🙏🏽

Thank you for your kind words 😊🙏🏾 really happy you liked it(:

[@pjstamile4581]

I know you said in your video that you don’t consider yourself a teacher but this single video got me into spoon carving. Thank you so much for simplifying and making the hobby seem fun and explorative. I learned a lot for this video and I always come back to it when I need inspiration.

[@nadavartandwood]

😅😁

[@chakiranaynaymorris260]

i didn't expect to have enjoyed this video as much as i did. i have no interest in wood carving but it was a delight to watch you.

This man knows how important a good dog is for the wood carving process.

[@michealarwood7488]

I've watched this video at least 6 times all the way through. I'm carving my first spoon in 9 years, needing a place to start again, myself, without my grandpa. I keep finding myself back here for insight.

[@nadavartandwood]

I’m really happy to hear you come back here again and again 😁 hope to create more videos like these so you’ll have more variety to watch 😁😅

[@user-ku9jz9ml7c]

I’ve been stuck in a KZbin hole of beautiful DIY’s and even better is they all have a dog in the videos!!!!

[@Conan3145]

Excellent. More please.

Lucky man, enjoying your hobby with a good dog by your side.

[@rcl-crafter8]

This was a fantastic video! It had just the right amount of info to get started. Loved that you were inside and your dog was their to keep you company. I hope you do more talking videos as I learned a lot from you. Charming and lovely! Thank you!

[@nadavartandwood]

Thank you😊🙏🏾 planning on uploading another one this week(:

Thank you for this humble video. I am halfway through carving my first spoon for my mother's birthday next month, from a mandarin tree branch that fell in my yard after a storm. You gave me a lot of pointers, thanks again.

[@bdickinson6751]

Very nicely done and the finished spoon has a lot of character.

[@nadavartandwood]

Thank you!😁

I am an artist myself. My medium is pottery. I found you craft mesmerizing to watch. Your video shooting and editing is in itself an artform. I am impressed.

[@nadavartandwood]

Thank you 😁🙏🏾 pottery is a beautiful craft medium I made myself several pieces and I have a lot of respect and admiration to anyone who chooses it as their main medium of expression, hope to see you here again (:

[@АнтонМакаров-к4н]

this video contains everything you need. Interesting content, good camera performance, high-quality sound. But the main thing is your style of explanation. It’s very nice that you pay special attention to safety precautions, like a good teacher who teaches the topic more broadly. Keep going, I think your efforts will pay off. Hello from Ukraine.

[@nadavartandwood]

I appreciate your kind words 😊🙏🏾 happy to hear you enjoyed it (:

[@corriemorris8045]

Love carving spoons as well and I do everything exactly the way you showed. Sitting and carving a piece of wood is the most calming thing.

[@chefjasonperu]

Wow would you believe I watched every second of this video. Amazing work.

[@nadavartandwood]

Happy you enjoyed it so much😊🙏🏾

[@IsmaelBackes]

Very good video. As intelligently crafted as the spoon.

[@sebytro]

Haven't made my first spoon yet but I have the same knife that you use here! Now I'm motivated to finally spoon.

[@seanadamson257]

That was an awesome video. Maybe a video on how you sharpen your knifes. Especially the bowl spoon.

[@nadavartandwood]

Thank you! Yes this video will come at some point 🤔 at the moment I’m trying to make a sharpening station that will be accessible for anyone who will watch the video

Im new to wood carving and my first wood carving attempt will be a spoon. Thank you for calmly explaining how to safely carve a spoon. :)

[@nadavartandwood]

Happy to hear that 😁 stay safe!

[@stephenroman9015]

You can tell a lot about a person by the peace they project, his dog is so relaxed in his presence. The music was paired with this video perfectly. The carving of a simple spoon by thought; rendered by the hands. Soothing to the soul....

[@nadavartandwood]

😊🙏🏾

[@elwood212]

That was sublime. I love the camera perspectives, light and tempo of yr video. The content even BETTER. I have never carved…yet and now I feel more equipped to give it a go. 🙏🇦🇺

happy to hear you enjoyed the video(: she is also quite young one year and four months but she loves looking outside on the street, I think it calms her down (:

[@pollyannastyrene9009]

The spoon is absolutely gorgeous and I enjoyed your calm narration with soothing music. The dog is super cool too. I live in Alaska so we have lots of wood available. I am just a beginner but I would like to learn more about the different types of wood. Thank you.

[@ellafields9424]

❤ So many positive comments that says it ALL! Two summers spent in AK & a wood shop owner (Sterling, AK) taught me much about wood - especially Diamond Willow. I have a sauce pan carved that he did & it's one piece handle included! It's a treasure. Having arthritis I never carved a lot but have many treasures by others. Never saw spoon carving until recently- this video being a real treasure. I have a great deal of appreciation of this work but at 80+ yrs I'm limited to just enjoying the video- it has great therapeutic value + +.. ❤ ❤ The 🐕 New sub

[@rockreader4298]

I saw, liked and subbed your channel. Please do more gently narrated videos like this. It will be a big help as I start my journey into spoon carving. Your sweet lazing dog adds a restful element to your video. Thank you for being authentic.

[@nadavartandwood]

Thank you😊🙏🏾 and welcome to this journey (: I will make more of these videos but not all will be about spoons as I enjoy carving many different objects (:

[@nickvalcke]

Your voice overs are great! As a beginner its great to see you technique (would love a video on this) as well as your philosophy of when to take off wood as well as why. Inspiring, thank you.

[@kitchencarvings4621]

folks, if you suffer from stress, take up spooncarving.

[@dosso96]

I feel like I need to but I can’t rn, but i feel like it’s the right way to keep your brain busy and focus on other things, taking some time just for yourself

[@axtro8001]

But be careful not to cut yourself

[@kitchencarvings4621]

@@dosso96 I highly recommend you check out country workshops in North Carolina. Hopefully, they survived the hurricane's devastation. They are a school for traditional woodworking, spoon, and bowl carving, and chair making. I got my shaving horse from their shop, as well as some really fine-quality gouges handmade in Sweden.

[@kiranzorotechy]

I got inspired by these videos and I started carving and just completed the handle for my hand 🪓 axe.....that's amazing experience Thanks to all these videos ....I will continue and get the level to carve a spoon myself....soon I am figuring out how to make a homemade curve knife ....for spoon carving

[@kitchencarvings4621]

@@kiranzorotechy A curved cabinet scraper is very helpful in smoothing and final hollowing of the bow. They are easy to learn to sharpen and burnish, and they leave a fairly smooth surface. Have fun.

[@angelageorge1966]

This is the best spoon carving video I have seen. The close ups of the movement of the knife through the wood and how they react to each other is perfect and it's as if I was craving the spoon. Also the information on the carving tools is very helpful.

[@vldarden]

This is beautifully done.

[@zanlehman5208]

The way you describe your process, reminds me of how I experience carving. Letting the wood “lead.” Being mindful.

[@dakotaearthcloud]

This was amazing to watch, both to learn and to experience the spirituality of your art through your thoughtful insights. Thank you! More please..

[@nadavartandwood]

😁🙏🏾

[@tonysmith5713]

Hi Nadav , I like the way you calmly explained your art . Im new at carving to 1year or so , I find it fascinating how the grain runs, for me it's like a drug I can't stopas I enjoy it so much. Looking forward to your next videos

[@nadavartandwood]

Yes it can be quite addictive 😅

[@Thefullbeard]

That video was as much art as the caring! What an edit! Loved it.

[@nadavartandwood]

Happy you liked my editing, still learning 😅so hopefully will get even better 😁

This video was so well made. It was like I was there with you with a warm cuppa and you were an old friend teaching me. Thank you for sharing!

[@nadavartandwood]

Happy to hear you felt this way😊 art and creation should be full of love and coziness in my opinion (:

[@bluesideup007]

Enjoyed your video very much: the narration, lighting and process. I've been carving spoons for 5 years and each teaches me something. Likewise, each carver has a method of work which is informative.

[@nadavartandwood]

Happy to hear you enjoyed it😁 I agree also each piece of wood has a life of its own and it’s own way of teaching us how to work with it. The journey is still long and there’s still a lot more to learn!😁

[@josephfernandes8667]

Excellent work. You carve so well, yet so modest. I can actually feel how therapeutic carving is when I also listen to the music in the background.

Thank you! Stay tuned It might take some time but I believe a technique video will come eventually 😁

[@jay_the_dragon5896]

This was a wonderful video to watch. The way you explained things was clear and lovely and the sound of the knife slicing off shavings as you spoke was beautiful. I'll definately be watching more of your content 😊

[@Dextrolord]

It's both so soothing and also very inspiring. I've only just started spoon carving, but watching you carve makes me realise i should slowdown and make way smaller cuts towards the end. Thanks for the great video 😊

[@nadavartandwood]

That’s a great takeaway from my video 😁 slowing down will definitely make you enjoy the process more and improve your technique much better (:

[@mattsadventureswithart5764]

I've only carved one spoon so far, and that was a couple of years ago, but seeing this video reminded me of that and has made me want to do more of them. Thank you for reminding me of the joy it brought me, and for making sure I do more. Please DO make more videos on your technique. I know the technique I employed can be improved, because yours is so much better.

[@nadavartandwood]

Thank you😊🙏🏾 glad to hear you were motivated to get back to it, in the end getting better and having better techniques mainly improves with practice (:

[@briansparks2361]

Well done. I've been making spoons for a couple years and you have convinced me to seriously try a hook knife. I've been using gouges only for the bowl of the spoon. You have excellent controll with the knife and hook knife. I have taken a different direction and focussed on ways to hold the piece. I've built spoon mules and use a draw knife for all the rough carving. It impresses me to see the controll you have with your cuts.

[@nadavartandwood]

I also started with gouges, only bought the hook knife later on(:

[@thesentimentalsoul3683]

[@Subdood04]

Not nearly as accomplished as you are. When I started I tended to “force” the shape to conform to my will. Eventually, I (slowly) began to learn to let the wood tell me what shape it wants. Very beautiful and you are an excellent teacher.

[@nadavartandwood]

I would say just the fact that you bring yourself to create something especially a conversation with another material, is an accomplishment by itself (:

[@elise8116]
