HOW TO CARVE A SPOON

How I carve spoons. No axes, just a knife, crook knife & pruning saw. Its a simple, safe and easy to follow method, that I have used for years. Give it a try & let me know how you get on.

Fantastic video! I love how all of your techings are so simple and achievable. It's very refreshing in a world that feels full of bushcrafters who are more interested in who's initials are on the steel of their axe which costs as much as a month's rent. Keep up the good work 👍

Great tutorial Neil

[@davidleasure9138]

Awesome video Neil. Explained the process and gave very explicit instructions. First time I ever watched anyone explain the steps the way you did. Will give this a go when I can locate my crooked knife. Thanks again. What knife are you using for the shaping?

Newer thought Willow would be a good kind of wood for spoon. Thanks now i know its good wood for spoon. But is it also good wood for cucksa. Mebe my spelling is off i ment a coffee mug.

LOL i'll never forget the measure of the width of the branch for the spoon

[@AlanAlanAlanDave]

Interested to know which brand of crook knife you used and if it’s a Mora which one?

[@greencraft4783]

Hi Alan, it's one that was given to me many years ago by Duncan at Dorset Woodland Blades, it's a great tool, that has stood the test of time. He sent me another item a month or two back, which I haven't had a chance to play with yet, but you will all know when I do.

what are the best woods for carving utensils

[@greencraft4783]

I think birch is a nice wood to carve and its easy to identify too.

[@randomfox9970]

+Greencraft greetings from Essex I has depression and learning disability but found your videos uplifting and easy to follow I carved cherry and birch and sycamore for my projects you got a Twitter ? also what part of UK you in looks familiar👍🐺🐾

[@0z33y]

Willow is good as in the video, fruit is good if carved same day as cut , keep all the shavings, and put in freezer bag with carving , if you you are going back to it another time .... birch is great to carve....
