Best spoon carving tutorial I've ever watched on KZbin! Deborah is very talented and her ability to adjust to difficult portions of the wood and grain is truly remarkable. Thanks for posting this video.

[@frankkatusa6855]

Finally a spoon carving video that instructs, gives insights into the maker's mind and experiences and shares her years of experience. This video can be extremely helpful for beginners and experienced "spooners" alike. Much much better than the mile a minute, time lapse videos that show, yet teach nothing. Thank you very much for the time, effort and dedication to your art.

[@Zedoutdoors]

I sincerely appreciate you watching and for your kind words Frank. Indeed these longer format videos are not to everybodies liking but I strive to include as much information as possible ~Peace~

[@conradyork2178]

"oh dear" :) This was terribly inspiring. Thank you for sharing Deborah. A heartfelt thank you to you Zed, for your selfless showcasing of otherwise inaccessible craftworkers. No Patrion link, no call to subscribe, just pure promotion of creative pursuit. *Of others creative pursuits* You are very generous with your time, thank you for helping to teach me. I've learned Lots!

[@Zedoutdoors]

That is very kind of you to say so Stephen thank you ~Peace~

[@ronstudd3788]

You’re right, she is so respectful of the tree and wood. Her view to foresee the billet and then the spoon to be discovered and crafted awaiting inside the split of wood - so lovely and humble, yet so clever!

[@mikeevans3766]

Such a lovely video on the subject. Thank you Zed and thank you Deborah for allowing us to come into your home and shop to admire your craft. You are a lovely lady and you make me long to revisit London and the UK, one of my favorite places on the planet. You have inspired me to sharpen up my axes and take to the woods to harvest some spoon stock. Never underestimate a kindly lady with an axe.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Amen to that Mike and thank you for the kind words ~Peace~

He is the perfect link between those great craftspeople and the rest of the community. He really makes it possible for these carvers to share their techniques and methods to us.

[@Invinciwill]

Another great video, Zed, thanks for introducing us to Deborah! About that crack that had developed, you can see the errant axe blow that caused it at about 38.35. In my experience, 99.99% of cracks in that area of the spoon are caused by the axe rather than any drying issues!

[@Zedoutdoors]

Indeed it's all a constant learning process and thank you for watching Phil ~Peace~

[@bossamood6536]

Absolutely fascinating, watched the video all the way and saved for future reference. I am an oudoors person, have been since age of 16 (now 63), fisherman, shooter, walker/hiker, camping and bushcraft skills, also as an archaeologist interested in ancient ways, from which a lot of these skills developed and so on. I hope to begin wood carving soon, it is new to me and have been studying the equipt needed and quality of the equipt which is paramount. So far I have the smaller Mora 106 wood carving knife, and will also buy the 120, then check out good quality spoon knives from there. As a fly fisherman I would love to have a special porridge spoon with a special fly/trout fishing character! But this has been a wonderful educational experience, my thanks to Deborah for showing us and you for putting it on....steve

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hi Steve it's been fascinating reading about your background and no doubt you have a lifetime of experience behind you. I have many spoon carving / green woodworking videos on ym channel that will help you on your journey. Stay well my friend ~Peace~

I am a metal artist/woodworker and find any hand craft/art fascinating. I stumbled upon this video because my wife asked me to make her some spoons. I thought, I’ve never thought of attempting to make a spoon. Well, I was absolutely mesmerized watching Deborahs hands flow in what seemed to be effortless manipulation of tools and wood. I hated to see the video end.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Deborah is an absolute joy to spend time with and we're already planning a second series of videos when circumstances permit ~Peace~

[@ronstudd3788]

Deborah’s work is absolutely mesmerizing! I could enjoy watching this all day. I’m hooked and now anxious to give it a real go. Her cuts are so skilled, yet I do tense with nearly every stroke expecting a slip resulting in a severe injury. What a world to discover! Thank you!

Thanks Zed and Deborah for a great insight I honestly didn't know that spoon carving was a "thing". I was recently in my garden doing some winter tidying involving a fire. While feeding the fire I randomly carved a spoon from cherry using my pocket knife, never done it before and can't really explain why I did it. I liked Deborahs mention of thumb cuts! Consequently I have ordered a few specialist knives as I want to create a few more. I didn't even consider an axe though. I'm just off out to give my old hand axe a good sharpen. Skills!

Nice job. I think my surprise favorite wood for spoons has been lilac. Hard, buttery, and takes a burnished or fine sanding (up to 3000 grit or finer) like nobody's business.
