Silent Carving | The Medieval Eating Spoon

[@Happyheart146]

Not a pencil line in sight. All by eye and in less than 20 minutes. My dad was the same. You sir, are a true craftsman and that spoon is beautiful. I enjoyed every minute of this video - thank you.

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

Nah, watch the cuts carefully, he replaces the work in his hands with something he prepared earlier, that's why he just hacks away with the axe and makes a lot of wood chips. It's all wood chips and mirrors. I am joking.... obviously

[@benvance3716]

You prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

[@bradvietjeastronomy2872]

Just fantastic, Barn. There is nothing simple about making a simple spoon with such grace and economy of movement. Well done.

[@ogi22]

Please good Sir! Moar silent carving!!! I love watching your work and it got me into spoon carving myself. I like going back to those silent carving clips to compare and revise my carving style. Please consider making more videos like this.

[@UrsulaMcCoy-b8h]

Loved this what a beautiful shape ,a master at work thankyou.

[@pondlife1952]

Mesmerising; zen and the art of watching a spoon appear from a lump of wood as if by magic.

[@markhalvorson4631]

Who needs a shaving horse or clamps when you have hands the size of catcher’s mitts? Phenomenal work, great videos!

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

so skilled and accurate with that hatchet! It looks like it's paper sharp too.

[@lindaaustin-morin7781]

This is by far my favorite spoon design and artisan

[@Traderjoe]

He is a master! Imagine the strength this guy has on his hands?

[@kittbenefield6134]

He's got some mits on him aye

[@Nana-xv6oo]

But the finesse is superb!

[@philw8049]

Hook-knife? That’s not a hook-knife... THIS is a hook-knife! 😂

[@laurendelune7618]

I watch these videos to fall asleep to, the sound of the carving and wood shaving is so calming to me

[@tomg.6881]

A Master for sure. I find this simple shape one of the hardest to get right. Three Cheers for Barn!

[@Tuturutu001]

So glad to see another episode of this. Please keep making these videos, it is really worth it :)

Looking like you have done this before . Most excellent work I have ever seen . Thank you for sharing this .

[@mikemeister458]

Every time I watch this, I pick up something new. Great job, Barnaby!

[@PetePPA]

Fantastic a true master, I could watch for hours a pleasure to see such skill.

[@alexander.krieger_4120]

Great work. It's just unbelievable in which short time you can carve so beautiful spoons. So impressive! Best wishes :)

[@jimlydle4170]

Amazing, I was sure during the axe faze it would break, what a craftsman

[@6bluestrings]

I'm proud to own one of these fine spoons. I feel medieval every time I use it. Thank you Barn!

[@ryanbailey112]

Wow thank you. You have some real talent mate.

[@SamEEE12]

Whew, those are sharp knives!

[@michaels.8663]

You are Truly Blessed with a Beautiful Talent!

[@ohjolt2]

Wow that's fast. That twca cam sure makes that bowl quick.

[@nickpaull2362]

Lovely work, what a craftsman!

[@AltoPretorius]

I could watch this aaaaaall day!

[@markedlington-booth24]

Absolutely beautiful to watch such a talented craftsman. I could watch this all day. Thanks Barn. Is that a specially commissioned crook knife? Where could I get one from?

[@JackRobin86]

You are TRULY a master craftsman, Barn. Could you tell me what kind of wood that you used for this one?

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

I would guess poplar, based on the coloring and grain pattern you can see in the video. Not too sure though.

[@felixthewoods8420]

@@jameshaulenbeek5931 its alder

[@lukejones8385]

Fantastic video, love the work, you make it look effortless, could you please let us know in the description what wood you use in up coming videos please 😎

[@doro5419]

It looks like white birch (Betula pendula). You can see the bark for a second in the beginning and the close-up shots at the end show the typical grain of birch wood.

[@mattp6355]

Well i would like to know what knife he is using to hog out that spoon. Its cutting across the grain like butter but could be his mad sharpening skills...what angle do you have on there man? And bam! Why didnt i think of using a hatchet to hog out the shape first....seems a no brainer...and man what a hook knife! Custom made? I wonder if pfiel/swiss made makes one like that

[@adityamuley87]

I have been seeing your videos. You must upload more often. This is very good work.

[@LucaCanali]

Oh my god ... you have an impressive manuality ... very very beautiful object

[@terrain-hardy]

That is some really awesome work ... truely a master piece ;-) I don't know if "spoon club" accepts wishes ??!, but if you do mine would be "silent carving - the soup spoon" many many thanks for showing and PLEASE keep up the good work, and let the video's come floating like a river ... ;-))

[@ogi22]

Be careful, i used to watch it myself... And now i'm carving spoons too ☺It's even more relaxing, only downside is you need to be careful with your fingers, hehehe

[@jakub1868]

Nice job. Very good.

[@peterellis5626]

That twca cam sure makes short work of the interior on the bowl! ;)

Hi Andy - thanks so much! The wood will always be green - in the case of this spoon, it's Birch

[@jazmine6462]

hi, I enjoyed to watch showing your wonderful skills. Can ou tell me where to get such a great hook knife?

[@ogi22]

Usually those are custom made knives. I'm planning on making a couple myself, because right now i'm using Mora and it's not the best one. It's ok as a starter knife, but gives my finger some bad blisters;) Try to google "hook knives" or "wood carving knives" and check for some local blacksmiths making them. I don't remember the website, but i know there were a few in UK making those tools.

[@Edcognito]

Look up "TWCA CAM" knives

[@jazmine6462]

@@Edcognito thanks a lot. These tools look amazing!

Geat to see you Ban...are you at the bushcraft show this year ?

Hi, very nice video, could you tell me what kind of axe do you used ?

[@piotroowinski4371]

Sorry for asking. I'm a newbie. Is the wood from which you make spoons freshly cut, wet or dry, seasoned? Happy new year 2024.

[@rusoeb666]

Gränsfors Small Hatchet 410 ?

[@wadidow5439]

wildlife hatchet i think

[@marr123n]

So I got a lot of birch for spooncarving. Today I split a log and when carving I noticed dark spots and streaks in the wood... some green or brownish... these spots are about as big as a nails head, anyone knows what this might be?

[@pvtpinecone762]

What finish would you use for a spoon like that? Something like linseed oil or beeswax?

[@SpoonClub]

Hi Timothy - Barn generally uses tung oil to finish his spoons - hope this helps!

[@piotrherman7884]

Beauityful work. I have a question. What wood you use?

[@doro5419]

It seems to be birch wood.

[@AdamDrew]

Every time I watch one of these I curse myself for jumping straight into working with reclaimed wood, and not spending more time on green wood carving... that said, the upside is that I've been forced to get a lot stronger than I might have been otherwise! (Not that wood quality is everything, but even with my tools blisteringly sharp I sometimes have to work so much harder to get clean cuts like these).

[@rusoeb666]

Шедевральная работа...

[@godstemplar46]

What treatment do you use to protect it?

[@Edcognito]

I want to know (as many others have asked) where did you get that honking huge spoon knife!?

[@SpoonClub]

Hi Ed - this is a Twca Cam made by Ben Orford

Generally Green, but I've seen him use seasoned firewood as well.
