Kolrosing a Letter on a Hand Carved Spoon. Traditional way of decorating wood. ASMR.

Hi Dane Thanks for your great Videos, i was looking for an kolrosing knife all around the internet and you showed me that i dont need it :) thats the magic of spoon carving no need for fancy equipment just two knifes and an axe love it!

[@danesspoons]

@@Mejumspoons Glad you like the videos. People get too fixated on the tools. I never felt the need to upgrade to a specialized kolrosing knife and pretty much all I saw is not something that wood be good for my kolrosing 🙂

Very nicely Done. Love the shape of the spoon. And a great idea with the use of the marble for burnishing. Keep up the great work. Tom B. in ND

Thank you my friend. Glad you liked it 🙂

beautiful spoon, thanks for sharing your techniques. Accessible knife, coffee grounds and a marble, love it. I’m going to give it a try on a wood box I’m making Cheers!

[@danesspoons]

Glad you liked it. Go for it. Start with straight lines designs, they are easier to start with. You can also practice on some scrap pieces of wood to get a hang of it. Be free to check out my other kolrosing videos. Have fun 👍🙂

Question/request... Are there any tricks/tips to doing the rounded section of a letter like D? for example I try to do a small D and the year to 'sign' my spoons but some times the round of the D seems 'fuzzy' from the changing grain? Loving your videos! my wife asks why it only takes you a few minutes to do a spoon when it takes me an hour, or so!! Regards, Dane

[@danesspoons]

For rounded parts I usually do more of stabbing than dragging the knife, like opening a tin can. See some of my other kolrosing videos. Speed comes with repetition. I do many of these each week 🙂 Glad you like the videos.

@@danesspoons thanks... I have used #8 or #9 carving gouges, but thought that was cheating

[@danesspoons]

@@danej7335 I use knife only for all kolrosing I just adapt the tehnique for different types of lines

[@susanp.collins7834]

Dane, do you think a nicely polished semi-precious stone would work as well as a marble and might it be easier to hold in your hand?

[@danesspoons]

Probably. Anything hard and smooth works. Burnishing is optional. If you want a bit smoother finish. I just lightly burnish for a few seconds. You can do without it, I sometimes don't do it 🙂

[@mansel500]

Do you sell these?

[@danesspoons]

I do. Please email me at [e-mail] if interested. Also be free to have a look at my Instagram page at instagram.com/dane.licina/ for all my work 🙂 Thank you
