spoon carving

[@jerrymichalski2161]

Craftsmanship at its finest. Thank you.

[@TheWizzkid67]

Everything I watch this I learn something new. Watched this when I first started carving spoons. But now when I watch it I pick up on so many things that I missed before. Lovely spoon lovely video.

[@jcamisa50]

As they say a picture is worth a thousand works but in this case a video is worth a thousand words. I like the no talking idea, just get to work nd watch. Thank you.

[@richardloren8833]

I just started carving. Learning the grain is interesting. Cuts smooth in one direction, then starts to snag. You have to go then in the opposite direction. Interesting to watch someone very experienced carving....

[@ossu.entertainment5761]

this video is amazing, shows another approach to spooncarving, a wider set of tools than just the minimal bushcraft stuff and is thought through and edited to its best! Great work of craftmanship! Biggest respect and appriation from Austria! Max

So good! I love your shop.

[@Tryshba]

Hey, there! I'm a quilter who stumbled into this by way of Pinterest. What an amazing art! I didn't even know this existed. I love seeing other craftsman doing their thing. This looks relaxing.

[@amosher5989]

What a artist!

[@claudiakinmonth2227]

It's really interesting to set this against what we know about spoons in Irish historical texts, art history and spoons in Irish museum collections, thank you.

[@greygoatQ]

Very nice! I'm new to carving and your video showed me some new techniques. Thanks!

[@hardcase1659]

That saw's ringing sounds like it's made out of really high quality steel

[@charlieplaza]

Those shavings come out like butter! I have such a hard time in comparison!! Sharper tools, softer wood, and LOTS more skill than me :) Great job!

[@stig92410]

Lovely video Jarrod, great to see you working from start to finish; lots of similarities and differences to how i work, just as it should be - will try the can-opener as at 5:34. Love the sections where you consider the shape, that's a great lesson for folk. Nice apron too :)

[@jarroddahl]

Thanks Steve.

Fantastic job. I learned a lot. Thanks so much!

[@johnnybear9400]

Hey man, i loved that this video so clearly shows the incredible level of skill that you have and your confidence in that. Magic stuff. Can you tell me the brand of hook knife that you're using in this video? Many thanks, Johnny

[@1611_KJB]

Just a question for my curiosity, after you rough out with the draw-knife, you do most of the shaving with a Sloyd-type carving knife, why not a spoke-shave? It seems like a lot of wood removal using your hands and thumb where, since you have a spoon mule, you could better use two hands on a spoke-shave to do the heavy shaving and then just trim up with the Sloyd. I understand it's just a choice, but I'm curious why you made your choice. I don't have a spoon mule (yet) so the spoke-shave would be an awkward choice for me, but you appear to be setup perfectly for it. In any event, nice video, I picked up a lot of little tips. Last question, how much time did you use to build the wigwam and are you using anything besides a wood stove to heat it?

[@robertjohnson9355]

Thank you for sharing this Learning a lot

[@Kallaste.]

Very nice. I love that mule. I would like to build one!

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrJonnabob]

I love your shop setup! I've been carving spoons for 35 years and have never seen a shaving horse for spoons like you have. Do you have plans available? Or just some good pictures? Thanks!

[@Rebelbodger]

Great Jarrod - Definitely going to make a spoon horse… Thanks for posting.

[@jarroddahl]

It's a great tool to have in use.

[@EugenManisor]

Hi Rebelbodger! If You have some plans, pictures, any ideas about "spoon horse", can yo share it? Thanks.

[@abdulhamidkose4169]

Everything happens with tools beautiful natural

[@craig9802]

Nice work, Jarrod. I really like that design - light where it can be, and robust where it needs to be. I'm curious if you ever have wood movement issues carving with quarter-sawn grain like that? It would seem to solve some of the movement / cracking issues with going strictly bark-up or bark-down, as I usually see. Oh, and your technique looked perfectly safe to me, for what it's worth. I trust the guy who's been doing it for a lot of years.

[@saman2169]

Very very nice 👍

[@TheRealtordude]

Nice to see the spoon mule in action, I also like the sneak under the bowl move

[@LorenErman]

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Such a great video on carving. Do you have one on how to construct a shave horse?

[@Goldsmithexile1960]

That saw dont mess about does it!

[@renatoalves5603]

[@Squirrelbslayer]

Ahh yes. The force the blade toward you technique...

[@bradsimpson8724]

I haven't tried spoon making yet, but I can already tell you made that look too easy. Very practiced. Curious to know what kind of wood that was. I can get my hands on some chunks of black walnut, which is supposed to be good(and really hard) spoon material, so maybe I'll give it a try. If I have any fingers left when I'm done, maybe I'll make a video too.

[@Tsarge22]

Its birch wood

[@foreman1946]

Thanks for sharing your awesome talent. I am new to carving with small hands. I am finding some of the tools are hard to use, being too large. Do you know anyone that makes them for women? or do you have a smaller spoon knife for sale. I appreciate any assistance. Lois

[@OldJesusFreak1958]

Excellent craftsmanship. What brand of knives are you using?

[@vbamburintools]

Отличные ложки. Удачи и успехов.

[@5quint1]

would like to know more about the spoon mule maybe some plans

[@amosher5989]

GREAT JOB. But I wonder how many times the knife has slipped in the past while cutting towards his thumb?

[@davetogo123]

Perfectly safe cut! Always cut away from yourself is what you tell children when they first start using a knife.

[@curiousgeorge555]

That is called a can opener grip. If you notice, his index finger is used as a stop (hits the wood). The knife cannot travel to the thumb. Of course it takes practice and should not be tried without full knowledge of how it works and awareness of what you are doing. Put sundquist mora into ytube search. He is a master and teaches how to do it.

[@emersonroni]

very good friend your video. I would like to see this bench to secure the wood to make the spoon. How is she? Its you show us?

[@soundcog]

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it a lot. Can you tell me what type of saw you were using and also what you call the "Shaving Horse" device you used to hold the spoon blank while you used your draw knife?

[@Goldsmithexile1960]

Are you using a derwent dark wash pencil there at 1.26? I use them way better than carpenters pencils, fantastic dark clear marks especially on fresh green wood...

[@machenry67]

Fantastico

What kind of wood do you use for your spoons?

[@danmottesheard5294]

great video. I have just ordered my first spoon carving set of knifes. I have carved a few with some rudimentary tools that turned out OK. can you recommend a brand or types of tools I should use as a beginner. any help would be a great help. love your work.

[@ogi22]

Mora is OK for beginners. Although i find their hook knife a bit too thin. I made myself a couple of straight knives from old files and they work really good.

[@suecollins3246]

Lordy, but is that a _yurt_ ?

[@clydewaltenbaugh563]

You do fantastic work. Wow, that was really cool to see that process. What was that tool you used to gouge/hollow out the spoon?

[@jarroddahl]

Hey Clyde, I used 3 tools. A large hook knife, a carving gouge and a small spoon hook knife.

[@clydewaltenbaugh563]

Cool thanks. Did you make the knives yourself?

[@okendo2609]

awesome skill, what knife you used there? (brand)

[@Robert.Stackhouse]

What's that tool you are using at about the two minute mark that looks like a draw knife with handles along the axis of the blade? Great video.

[@Robert.Stackhouse]

Got lucky with a Google search. Looks like it is called a Swedish push knife.

[@sergios.9009]

hi jarrod can you tel me, where did you get your hook knife? nice place, beautiful work. thanks for sharing

[@daud7385]

I'm curious as well!

[@robertarnsworth2464]

I missed how he made the under side round. That's the hardest part for me to do.

Did you find out its called a spoon mule?

[@snowrain4127]

What type of wood should I use for spoons ? Would like to make a couple for use

[@ogi22]

It's birch, very nice and soft wood for carving. The only downside it is pretty uniform in colour, but this can be an asset too :)

[@terranasunhas8962]

MUITO BOM!

[@popescupop3194]

I'like ☺

[@nikhilparanjape7890]

Can you please tell me what type of wood did you use? I need to do this for a school project.. Thank you.

[@billastell3753]

I can't say for certain what kind of wood the carver is using but I can tell you what I use for my spoons in Canada. First it is always fresh cut wet wood. It is much easier to carve than dry wood. I find sumac and pin cherry to be the easiest. I also use buckthorn. It has a nice tight grain and when done it is a lovely yellow / orange colour. Lilac is OK and walnut is also a decent wood. I will not use ash as it is very hard. Many folks use birch and black cherry. Both I understand are good but I have never used them for spoons. Best of luck with your school project.

[@nikhilparanjape7890]

@@billastell3753 Thanks Bill... That was very helpful.

[@nikhilparanjape7890]

@Dragon Of Dojima nope.. doesn't my question give enough hints about my naivety? 😁

[@roncannell4665]

Anybody new to carving, needs to be told of the danger in cutting towards yourself.

awsome tools maybe a bit too many for a spoon..

[@amosher5989]

K I am really bored...4th guy I watched carve spoons today! But yet I am waiting for one of them to slip with the knife!

[@toyzbg]

also not a bad idea to use some protection

[@mikenorman4001]

Never sand when you can cut, and never cut when you can saw. And never trust a hipster in a yurt to do anything right.

[@amosher5989]

Wonder if I can get $2 million to teach others how to do this. Canada needs jobs!

[@NativeEarthlingAI]

Cutting the rough shape with a band saw would save a bunch of time and be way safer. Is it a macho thing to use an axe? Not sure I understand the obsession with crude tools when there are better solutions available. How is it more noble to use Japanese hand tools than a Chinese power tool. Both are born from high technology and certainly not indigenous to an American workplace.

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

Hi tech chinese power tools? LOL now THEY are "crude".....if you would know a little about "American work places" you would know that elbow adzes and crook knives are indigenous American woodworking tools.... i tink you'll find those knives Jarrod is using are possibly hand made with finnish or swedish blades BTW have you ever used a band saw? the blades need replacing often, and they are expensive. You get 1 good axe it will last you a lifetime same with a good working knife.

[@hugoakerlund5114]

Zebulon B listen we dont care. Tradition is why we carve with axes and its a whole lot more fun than using a bandsaw in my opinion.
