Excellent video! Perfect balance of being thorough without going on forever.

Excellent video. I’m just starting out wood carving, and your explanations and inspiration were spot on.

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

I really enjoyed this good sir! I tried it on a spoon carved from cotton wood bark, a little to soft for some of this detail but it’s alright for the first try. Thanks again cheers! 🤙🏻👊🏻

Bonjour, j’ai toujours beaucoup de plaisir à vous regarder pour sculpter de nouveaux hiboux dont je fais cadeau à mes amis. Vous sculptez avec ds gants anti coupures particulièrement intéressants vu que ceux que vous utilisez ne déteignent pas, contrairement à ceux que moi j’ai trouvé. Pouvez-vous me donner les références de ces gants svp ? C’est tellement rare de voir les sculpteurs utiliser de tels gants. Merci pour votre réponse. Michèle

Great job thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you!

@@SpoonsandSpirits excellent job but as for them gloves they are great stopping you doing surgery on your self but not of tip bites you I had random idea see if my air rifle would go through them answer was nope gloves stopped the air gun slug quite impressed 😂👍🦊🐾🇮🇹🇬🇧

[@michelegrand3921]

Encore un mot : vous êtes un des rares à employer des gants. Bravo ! Puis-je avoir les références des vôtres parce que les miens possèdent une paume noire qui déteint sur le bois blanc.

[@SoufianeTahiri]

Thanks for this cool project

[@kimshead]

I've just done this on the end of a walking stick, looks great, thank you!

Fantastic, I'd love to see it, please do share a pic! Thanks!

very good video ..good job young man

[@SpoonsandSpirits]

Thank you Gene, that means alot from you! Love your videos too!

[@andyvercruysse542]

thank you. This one is going on my soon to dolist.

[@dianajackson8359]

Thanks Dave, that was great fun. It would be very helpful if you could hold the carving completely still at each stage so we can pause the video and work till it looks like yours (ho ho I wish!)

[@SpoonsandSpirits]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll make sure I do on the next one, cheers!

[@cwaddell3953]

good job

[@michelegrand3921]

17:17 hello ! Merci pour cette vide instructive. Ce hibou est très mignon. Un peu délicat pour positionner ses ailes. Mais j’ai pensé qu’en délimitant discrètement quelques points à relier entre eux, la forme de l’aile deviendrait plus aisée à réaliser. J’ai utilisé du saule frais pour sa réalisation. Réalisez-vous d.autres oiseaux ? Merci pour votre réponse. Michèle 21:49 À quoi sert de noter cet horodatage ?

[@ottodraws3256]

those random talks u have while u carve, i like those small stuff u say, its comforting, like u said nothing is perfect, so the carve doesnt really HAVE to be perfect, a little defect is okay lol, it is something very minor but, like me, it could make someone feel a bit better about this

[@SpoonsandSpirits]

Thank you so much, lovely feedback ❤

[@anjcreative]

this is so cool! do you think wooden dowels, like from craft stores, would be a good wood for whittling? i'd be interested to see a video on that. they're so skinny....

[@SpoonsandSpirits]

Craft store wood works well as long as it's not balsa wood, but you have given me an idea for a video thanks! Watch this space ...

[@broken1394]

Great vid. Just whittled my first thing today - A Mushroom! Not great but it was fun to do. Is there a brand of U gouge you would recommend from Amazon? Thank you. 🦉

[@SpoonsandSpirits]

Thats awesome well done! As for gouges, if you're on a budget, most of the cheap unbranded sets will do you well for a while but the dont hold sharpeness well and are phones to chipping. If you want to spend a little more though, you can never go wrong with flexcut, go for the starter sk travel set to give you a feel.

[@broken1394]

@@SpoonsandSpirits thanks v much for the recommendations. I'll keep an eye out for them. I probably should make sure i'm into it before splurging for the flexcut set. Happy to be a dirt rider for a while. Starting out with a SAK and Opinel 4 and 5! Hope your well out there! 👋

[@cghhendrix2]

Do you happen to know the size and sweep of the U gouge?

[@SpoonsandSpirits]

I'm not sure as it was from a cheap set which has since broken but to hazard a guess I'd say it was a #9 approx 0.75 cm
