Spoon Carving - You don't need an expensive axe!

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

I use a Stijl woodcutters camp forester ax. Something like that works great 😊 I have others also. Thanks for sharing 😊

Have you ever used one of the vintage carving hatchets with the offset type blade? I enjoyed you videos.

Side axes are still a great option for a lot of things, and used a lot even today for hewing projects! They excel at straight lines, though do suffer a little when it comes to tight corners, so not ideal for spoon carving

@andyspoons thanks that would have been a problem. I used a small Norlund hatchet with a tomahawk shaped head to carve out my first spoon from a fallen black cherry tree. I had a Becker bushcraft Kephart knife and couple of rough rider slip joints to do the knife carving. One of the RRs was especially good for the bowl carving. It is called a cotton sampler pattern with one fairly large blade with a lot of belly out toward the tip with a good edge.

So the carving ax is not needed from Julia. Can be done as normal

"Need" isn't always why you buy incredible tools 😉
