One Hatchet, One Spoon - Hatchet Only Spoon Carving

In this video I share a simple spoon design that can be achieved with a regular knife. I decided to use my hatchet to carve the entire spoon to test my skills a bit, which was a fun little challenge.
I have carved many spoons in the past using this design. It's an effective way to carve a spoon without the use of a gouge or spoon knife.
Hatchet used - Marbles 700DB
I wouldn't recommend carving this elaborately with a hatchet unless you are very comfortable handling blades. Some of the shots in this video make it look like my carving techniques could be dangerous, but I assure you I was being safe and cautious with my carving.
Thanks to all who watch. More videos coming soon.

Hope everyone's staying safe! More videos coming soon. Thanks for watching.

Kusk Bushcraft keep them coming please, something to look forward too

[@wyrdwildman1689]

It is easy to see why carving, especially birch wood, is so loved by our people and is such a long standing tradition.

What a beautiful day for a Hatchet-Only-Spoon-Carving-Skills-Challenge. Everything you touch, from food, shelter, tools, equipment, etc. becomes a creative work of art! So fantastic Ryley. LAL

[@torstenbayer8173]

It is awsome to see you carving with only the Hatchet! The most of us even can't do this with a specialist curving knife!!! Great!!! Real Great!!!

[@TheScoundrel70]

The Hatchet Sniper! That was really impressive to do that much with a hatchet. Patience and consistency plus a good eye and steady hand. Great job!

[@clivecro4971]

The making of a new star! Unbelievable craftsmanship and dedication and all with a hatchet. Beautiful wilderness video collection thank you for sharing your life with those of us who appreciate real things. Stay safe brother.

[@zoltanvonsomogyi7272]

I love it! Looks like it would be perfectly functional. I love to carve spoons, and have always wondered how I could carve out the bowl without a hook knife if I had too. The geometric cuts are the solution! Thanks.

[@ShelleyRaskin]

Getting more and more tempted to buy one of those little hatchets, would be great to see a review of one...

[@oldwagon-pens]

I really like the shape/design of the spoon.Excellent work.

[@moorshound3243]

Now I really do believe anything is possible. Also green with envy over your axe, we just cannot get tools like that here in the UK. Great vid thanks for posting.

[@outdoorslifesurvivecraft5078]

Excellent work!! I'll never forget the first time I though I'll just carve my stuff when I get out there. Yeah, I wound up eating off of a spatula for 3 days.

[@dianevillemaire8286]

Fantastic job

[@michaeladams9807]

Relaxing 👍👍

[@ericstoever9577]

The best way to learn a new tool is to use a new tool. Your confidence in doing so on video says a lot! Be well and take good care.

[@gregoryhare7268]

I have to say that's a really nice skill to use a double hachette and thanks for sharing.

[@ThomasP27]

This is by far the most impressive display of carving skills I've seen from a bushcraft KZbinr. If you ever find the time to post some kind of spoon carving tutorial or add an audiocomment to this video, this would be awesome.

[@tomhendricks971]

Incredible. I gotta try this.

[@littlejohnny4470]

I was hoping you could create a video on how you maintain the edges on your cutting tools! Thank you!!

[@bunnykusk23]

You are an “ axe” master. Not many people could do this.

[@levkvarner9865]

Can you tell me what is the point of the double bit hatchet? You will have double edge available in terms of edge retention or what was the real function of this type of axe?

[@thumperstorm3056]

One edge is shaped thinner for fine carving, the other edge is a thicker wedge for splitting wood.

[@PetePPA]

Excellent work Riley I'm impressed that you did all with the axe. I got nervous when you were pushing the blade in the bowl for stop cuts, worked well though. ATB Pete

[@Sephiroth9611]

I don't know about this new hatchet. With your old one, it looked like you were shaving off strips like a hot knife in butter, but with this new one, it looks like you're having to hack pretty good. Are you using a different wood?

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

Sephiroth9611 I thought the same thing. It seems like it might be the weight

[@BodhiHorton]

Is there a reason you made this with dry wood? I would’ve thought green wood would be easier? Cheers for the video Bodhi

[@KuskBushcraft]

Green wood would have been easier to carve. I have a bunch of dead, dry birch that I use for my carvings. No sense in harvesting a live tree when I have all this good dead wood to use. Thanks for watching, happy trails!

[@georgedeedsnotwords2162]

Using a knife would have made the job a bit easier . A ax is for rough work , big jobs . The knife is for finishing and detail . Work smarter not harder . "Deeds not words " yes I can and do carve . You did a good job and have skills keep it going .

[@waltski4375]

I enjoyed this video, thank you. One question, do you use mineral oil (or the like) on your wooden utensils? Please stay safe.

[@KuskBushcraft]

I like to use walnut oil to finish my wooden utensils. Gives a very nice finish that eventually hardens and creates a beautiful patina. Thanks for watching! Take care.
