How To Carve A Spoon - Adam Hawker

[@curiousgeorge555]

Pencil tricks are good. Glad to see a spoon maker with a great sense of humor.

[@curiousgeorge555]

Birds are nice in the background

[@Zedoutdoors]

Indeed this location is one of the most beautiful i've ever filmed at ~Peace~

[@DrChattan]

Adam is obviously an experienced teacher. His way of explaining every step and process is very well thought out and has a certain level of explanation that only comes with hours of teaching.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Adam is one of the loveliest and most talented people you'll ever meet, appreciate you watching and for your kind words ~Peace~

[@brendenbohannon4022]

Adam is a spoon wizard, wow. Thank you for taking the time to share your skills with us. And thank you Zed for the efforts you put in to making these videos and sharing these Craftsmen with us.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thank you kindly Brenden, I was grateful Adam allowed me to document his process that he's taken many years to refine ~Peace~

[@rmojo23]

I never thought I would watch 2 hrs of a spoon making video....but I liked it very much and learned a lot! Thanks!

[@Zedoutdoors]

A very lengthy video I know but I was reluctant to edit out parts of Adams procedure, really appreciate you watching ~Peace~

[@WoodlandChaplain]

Brilliant. It's one thing to demonstrate a skill. It's quite another to be able to explain it in such a way that, with practice, it is transferable. Best carving video I've ever watched.

[@Zedoutdoors]

That is very kind of you to say so thank you, indeed the ability to teach is a talent in of itself ~Peace~

[@shillelaghslaw]

I have watched this video at least a dozen times since it has been posted. It very well may be the best spoon carving explanation video on youtube if not the internet. The clear and concise way he explains each step and the reasoning behind it is superb. Adam is clearly a master of his craft. Thank you zedoutdoors for posting this video and all of your spoon carving videos. The value of these are without equal.

[@Zedoutdoors]

I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching my friend thank you! ~Peace~

[@finebourbon]

This is the most informative, straightforward, and concise instructional video for spoon carving. Adam Hawker is no doubt a true craftsman and selfless in his willingness to share his thoughts and techniques. Yes, there can be many different approaches to carving spoons. None are any better at ending up with the finished product than this tutorial. Thanx to Adam for sharing. Zed this is the top of your video productions. Also, the laid back approach of you two characters, is entertaining to say the least. Both of you "Dun Good".

[@Zedoutdoors]

Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching my man ~Peace~

[@sek2293]

It was a blessing making my first spoon following Adam. Axe and a stockman pocket knife and I made a beautiful piece. Thank y'all.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thats awesome to hear! happy carving my friend ~Peace~

[@martinrollin3236]

I have watched this video over and over again got. Its got to be the best spoon carving video i have ever seen!

Hi Zed. Many thanks for posting the video and a big thanks to Adam for probably the best spoon carving instructional to date.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hi Gwynn I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching, thank you ~Peace~

[@kennewby01]

Your comment.... ‘always carve down the hill” so simple but super helpful and it’s stuck with me and saved me loads of issues! Thanks again 👍👍

[@Zedoutdoors]

I was told that advice a couple of years back and helped me immensely too ~Peace~

[@sueackerman2470]

The best instructional video on spoon carver that you'll find. Start to finish, step by step. Excellent instruction and explanation. Thanks so much for a great video.

[@Zedoutdoors]

You are very kind Sue thank you ~Peace~

[@eugeniosolari]

melting here while watching... listening birds singing, apreciating the whole setting and mastery in full activity, the beautiful tools and accuracy in dealing with them; great show and sharing of experience, could not be better in terms of spoon carving

[@Zedoutdoors]

I sincerely thank you for your kind words and all being well I shall be seeing Adam again later this year for more filming ~Peace~

[@larrymiller5253]

Thank you, not only for the accidental ASMR-kept nodding off from birds and bucolic scene, but for the detailed set of instructions. It answered many of my thoughts about oiling and stop cuts among other things.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching Larry thank you ~Peace~

[@elijahthompson3899]

I fell asleep to this video on my couch last night, fantastically informative and quite entertaining. Whilst being peaceful.

[@hoozleup]

Only half way through but what a goldmine of a video for beginner carvers - first class! Thanks very much (and Adams sense of humour and the birdsong in the background - an added bonus)

[@Zedoutdoors]

You are very kind Steve and indeed Adam is a real joy to be around ~Peace~

[@marcusmckenzie9528]

there are simply not enough hours in the day for me to comfortably and in good time view all of the amazing content on Zed Outdoors channel... How dare work get in the road of the good life!!! In all seriousness though, love your content Zed, and the people who live and breath bushcraft, whether it be for hobby or profession. Words simply can not express my heartfelt gratitude for the time and best efforts Zed and people like him offer up to viewers, simply amazing!

[@Zedoutdoors]

That is extremely kind of you to say so Marcus and I sincerely appreciate you watching ~Peace~

Just watched the video straight through. Great job! I have only started carving, only 3 spoons so far, and this is the best instruction I have seen. Tons of great information and a lot of detail.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Great to hear you've embarked on your spoon carving journey, Adam is by far one of the most talented guys out there so you are learning from the best ~Peace~

[@matthiasthulman4058]

Man, every video is like a Discovery channel special about some old world trade. I think this is better, because every step is documented with explanations and techniques and such. This is my new favorite thing to binge watch lol

[@Zedoutdoors]

You are very kind Matthias and once again I thank you for watching ~Peace~

[@Jerseyhighlander]

Easily one of the best videos I've ever watched on the tube. In Depth but easy to watch. Really love Adam's methodology & process from beginning to end, really easy to follow. And those knife cases are awesome! We need another video just for those. Thanks Adam for sharing the wisdom & Zed for taking the time to make a video for us all.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching, all being well will be doing a video in the future on how to make those wooden cases ~Peace~

[@lesliecrowther7004]

What an awesome master craftsman Adam is, nearly 2 hours of pure tutorial absolutely brilliant. At one point i was thinking that he might just go to deep in the bowl ?? Seeing daylight coming through, wonder why it is that you get carried away with hollowing out ? His spoon knives are something else, they look like nick westerman ?? All i have is a beaver craft open type blade and a hook knife from an unnamed set, about 13 quid on ebay, looks like beavercraft but is not !! Certainly learnt a lot, thank you Zed & Adam. Be lucky. Les.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Indeed his tools are from Nic Westermann, a sincere thank you for watching and for the kind words Leslie ~Peace~

[@gsdeardoff1]

Zed, Thank you for all your videos. I am a brand new spoon carver only just finished my second spoon. Your videos have taught me so much. I love your subtle humor, your silent commentary and your focus on the skill. I'm a fan and subscriber. You rock my friend, you rock indeed.

Hi Zed...thanks for the video. I ventured into spoon carving a couple years ago without any tutorials and with mixed success. I just finished an Alder spoon today using Mr. Hawker's advice and the result is fantastic! I feel I moved up a knotch in my carving today because of your video. Thanks again!

[@sarpsoykan]

I watched a lot of videos to see different techniques (many from your channel as well, so thanks for that), and try to select the ones that suits me as a beginner. Really amazed that Adam pinpointed exactly my struggles especially about the neck part. Also quite impressed with the axe work, especially for back of the bowl. This is quite the lesson for starters.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Indeed it's good to watch as many different carvers as spoosible to get different viewpoints and chuffed to hear that this particular video you found useful ~Peace~

[@DavidStovell-uk]

Thank you so much Adam and Zed for taking the time and effort to make such a wonderful video. I think it will be one of THE 'go to' videos for spoon carving and generally handling a knife and axe. Adam communicates the subject so well in a manner that it is very easy to follow and Zed, thanks for asking so many good questions. Loved it loved it loved it.

[@Zedoutdoors]

As always Mr Stovell you are very kind, i'm grateful Adam allowed me to document his process for others to learn from and ironically this video I refer to myself too for my own learning ~Peace~

@@Zedoutdoors it seems a common trait of bushcrafters. Birds of a feather :) Your channel is an abundance of knowledge - thank you. If I manage to make a spoon with my Mears knife (without too many injuries lol!) I'll send a link! Best wishes Zed, peace and happy days, Catrina.
