Carving A Cawl Spoon

A 'silent carving' video of how I carve my signature Cawl Spoon.
Apart from splitting out the blank, this is a FULL LENGTH video of me carving a spoon, by which i mean, this is just me working at my normal speed, not missing out anything.

Ta Fred. I appreciate the kindness 👍

[@thebodgingbigfoot4014]

Another great video dude!!!! I want to carve something now lol

[@OwenThomaswoodcraft]

Thanks buddy 👍 Get them damn tools out!

[@DouglasTuret]

I’m impressed, Owen! As a fellow master craftsman just now beginning to work with wood, your control of your tools was nothing short of inspirational. Thank you so much, man! Great stuff!!

[@OwenThomaswoodcraft]

Thank you Douglas. I appreciate the kind words. I hope you enjoy my future videos as much 👍

What is it he is listening to ? It sounds like an old movie in the background !!! This is the second KZbin video I've noticed this week . Very strong cordless microphone maybe ?

[@shaileshmd71]

Beautiful work! I have watched your videos to learn carving techniques at least 10 times. Each view adds a little more information in my “ hard disk”. Would you be kind enough to demonstrate your sharpening techniques for the knives, axes and the adze? I think keeping the carving tools sharp is fundamental. As a pro you must be sharpening them on daily basis. We as amateurs could certainly benefit by watching.

[@OwenThomaswoodcraft]

Thanks Shailesh. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Your suggestion is on my list of planned videos, I just haven't got to it yet 👍

[@dalefalgate2716]

May I ask what do you use as a template as I have used card and broke very quickly

[@lindaaustin-morin7781]

hi owen, I truly enjoy your work. can you tell us about your tools? such as what size twc acam and how long is the handle?

[@OwenThomaswoodcraft]

Thanks Linda. I'll probably do a video on it at some point, but for now, I can say the twca cam is a 65mm made by Nic Westerman. The handle is about 12"

[@AirstripBum]

@@OwenThomaswoodcraft I love that tool. I have to get one sometime when the ships can dock and I can actually get it. Let's go Brandon!

[@riverrowanphoenix1876]

Beautiful work! For curiosity's sake, what types of wood do you like to use for your green wood working?

[@OwenThomaswoodcraft]

I mostly work with sycamore and birch. Beech is great too and ash is fantastic for chairs. I'm using birch in this video

[@andyperry7884]

yn cymraeg what do you call the curvy knife..arrg cant remember...i have a collection of them...nice vid....

[@mickwall8]

Twca Cam (Might be câm)

[@markbaigent8373]

That is real skill, especially those long planing cuts. I have not seen a cawl spoon out in the wild. How wide is that bowl?

[@OwenThomaswoodcraft]

Is about 2" across. Think of it like a soup spoon. Some of the old ones are larger than this but I make these to be a bit more modern

Is it just me or is someone sending Morse code messages thru this video? (Really nice work, btw.)

[@OwenThomaswoodcraft]

Thanks 🙏 the Morse code is probably some sort of interference with my mic. They are real sensitive
