Knut Östgård täljer en sked med Kalthoff täljyxa

Renewed carver Knut Östgård, carves a spoon with a Kalthoff axe.
“I am very satisfied with it. The balance, weight, size, sharpness and handle length. I can easily carve with precise chops."
Knuts thoughts about slöjd:
”Saw, axe and knife are the main tools I use for slöjd. When working by hand, one uses all senses. Ones eyes see and register. Ones ears hear if the tool cuts well, and the fingers feel the shape. The cut surface gives the object a golden glow and the marks from the hand work is clearly visible. The interplay of hand and mind gets practiced in a easygoing and fun way.
