Wow, I just stumbled upon this vid. as a fairly new learner and it answered about 90% of some serious issues I"m having, all by explanation and demonstration! Thanks so much Zed and Owen, can't say just how much I appreciated this! Man, that boy can certainly carve....phew!

[@Zedoutdoors]

Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching thank you, best of luck on your carving journey too ~Peace~

[@bluesideup007]

Thanks Zed and Owen. I got a lot out of his explanations and watching his method of work. I'd swear that at around 39 min I felt some of those chips hit my right ear. ;-)

3D spoon carving ;) Sincerely appreciate the kind words and for watching ~Peace~

@@@Zedoutdoors - And, I forgot to mention, I am from Wisconsin too! (Took a class in April from Tom Bartlett of Silva Spoon in Madison.)

[@Zedoutdoors]

Ah nice both great folk! Tom is originally from my neck of the woods here in the UK :) ...you have some talented folk in your state ~Peace~

Another Excellent video, as well as the one on the Cawl spoon. Owen mentioned several nice tips like widest part of the spoon should be the deepest and others. These are two videos I will watch again as they are very clear and concise teaching tools. Ordered a Cawl spoon from Owen to be a visual guide to aspire to in my carving. Thank you Owen and Zed, and for the templates as well. Cheers, Michael O’Brien Alabama, USA

[@Zedoutdoors]

So nice of you to support Owens work by purchasing one of his spoons and indeed yes I learnt lots by filming Owen, he's learnt from some of the best teachers in the UK so is a body of knowledge. As always Michael I appreciate your kind words and for watching ~Peace~

[@user-uw8qo7gs2r]

Excellent work the both of you, will be attempting that and hopefully won't end up with a Manatee...Thanks as ever.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Best of luck and many thanks for watching ~Peace~

[@nigelwylie01]

Manatee! 😂

[@roberts6219]

Wow excellent video what a craftsman

[@Zedoutdoors]

Amen to that Rob ~Peace~

[@LordDragor]

Thank Zed and Owen. I can see i need some more practicing with my twca cam. I have only used my ordinary spoon knife on dolphin spoons so far. Twca cam is not an easy tool to master. Keep up the fantastic work Zed.

[@Zedoutdoors]

I have yet to use a twca cam and like you said it takes time and practise to use it properly. As always appreciate the kind words my friend ~Peace~

[@gorazdicak]

great filming great teacher just great

[@Zedoutdoors]

You are very kind thank you ~Peace~

[@stuhaysman135]

Great to see the twca cam in use and used so skillfully - great vid 👍👍👍

[@Zedoutdoors]

Amen to that, it's a tool i've yet to use personally so learnt lots filming Owen putting it to use ~Peace~

Thank you kindly Hassan ~Peace~

[@4563582]

That wood seems to be very hard, to resist those blows that you apply to it with the tools, what type of wood is it? congratulations for your work; very beautiful.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thank you for watching, the wood species is mentioned in the video my friend ~Peace~

[@TheTimblob]

The area dolphin spoons come from is north wales, caernarvonshire in particular

[@Zedoutdoors]

Ah nice appreciate the heads up thank you ~Peace~

[@TommyBoy11]

Love the carving videos. Dose anyone ever use a kukri instead of a hatchet?

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thank you kindly Tom, at a push you could use a Kukri but it may get dangerous using that for the finer axe type cuts ~Peace~

[@johnwealthy6821]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Please can you say what tools you used? I need to kit myself out as there are so many knives and axes to choose,

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hi John we did mention the names of the tools in the video, if you are starting out then the tools you choose all depends on your budget. As a general advise I would get a Mora 106 straight carving knife, Ben Orford spoon knife and a Robin Wood carving axe ...all these three are great tools for a budget ~Peace~

[@johnwealthy6821]

Zed Outdoors ok great thanks!! And if I want to get tools of mid to premium quality? Living and training in the forest is my life. It gives me tremendous peace especially when working away from home and missing my family. I want to buy this weekend so will be grateful for advice again.
