I've learned Lots!

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~

[@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~

Deborah is a fantastic craftsperson and her process is so organic and sympathetic to the wood. This was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for making this.

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!

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. Zed, thank you for what you do for all of us, thank you for your amazing kindness, and thank you for being my most valuable spoon carving resource

[@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]

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.

Fantastic video and great to finally match the face to the hand holding the spoon on Instagram! Deborah is an inspiration.

You should interview her more and you should do some more spooning videos with her. I really like that this is a long video. It gets a moment by moment perspective what goes on and I really like the idea that you haven’t been talking and you just let her make the one-sided conversation and this is a very good video Zed I really enjoy it

Thank you so much for this video to Deborah and you . Splendid spoons. I always marvel at how the internet connects us with people so distant and brings us closer to their work, their art, and what we can learn. Something that would have been very difficult 20 years ago. A big hug from Peru

[@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

[@woodywood8755]

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!

[@Zedoutdoors]

That is so awesome to hear, a sincere thank you for your kind words and happy carving my friend! ~Peace~

mah GAWD, i'm fairly certain that Deborah is my spirit animal; if i were British and female, i like to thing i'd be her unsettling doppelganger xD i was an art student/carpenter who decided to attend the Krenov School (formerly College of the Redwoods). she feels like the good people of the Krenov School, who i realize now literally reshaped my brain and redefined the facets on my raw life; she's of that ilk. i actually found myself completing her sentences or predicting her next thoughtful comment a bit. all that said, as an avid bushcrafter and woodworker who's debating becoming a KZbinr, i'm ashamed that i've never carved a spoon...now it's the very next thing i'll be doing poorly in the woods xD coincidentally, i took a random, word of mouth job opportunity restoring an old William Garden ketch (big wooden sailboat) for a well known film director in his 80's who's lovely and fiercly resourceful wife of many decades is Swiss. i grew close to them over some time and ended up briefly as caretaker on their vineyard. seeing Deborah's place, soaking in her demeanor, she and her place all felt very familiar..the warmth of good people who've mastered the craft of living in the present. thanks for the excellent videos, and thank you, Deborah Schneebeli Morrell!!!

Omg this video is excellent. Especially without using a spoon knife. I was wondering how to do that, but now I see I could simply start with a much larger shape, carve in the bowl while it's huge and it's easy to do without a spoon knife, then just pare down the whole spoon to a smaller size!

Hope the techniques help you out and many thanks for watching ~Peace~
