[@tolbaszy8067]

I have carved spoons from radially split wood for over forty years. I don't use patterns except when I carve a book matched salad set (spoon and fork) from sequential sections. This is particularly effective when the billets are curved and the two utensils nest together. I use the first carved utensil as a pattern for its mate.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Appreciate your insights and to hear how you approach the process ~Peace~

Nice work. Quick and useful. Will last more than a generation if it has reasonable care. Often here in Virginia, it's the kids who hang around to watch me demonstrate.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thats very cool to hear and at the very least they are introduced to thje craft. Keep up the great work my friend and many thanks for watching ~Peace~

[@boooshes]

@@Zedoutdoors if you are interested in a spoon from Virginia, let me know a shipping address.

[@pauladamson9191]

I love the types of crowd I get. Its such a buzz. The kids are always the most attentive either quietly or full on vocal excited, but sometimes the mothers are properly won over while the dads just want out of there. Or you get a dad or older fella thats been really fustrated trying to work out how a spoon is made in there back yard driving them mad for months. In a few mins they are at peace with a bit of info. Love it.

[@boooshes]

@@pauladamson9191 same here with the watchers, I love interested kids. If you'd like a Virginia made spoon, send me a shipping address.

[@pauladamson9191]

Good man!

[@curiousgeorge555]

Great stuff! One question; do patrons ever ask what kind of paint it is and if it is safe in hot tea or coffee? Thanks.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Indeed it's important to state what paint is used, sam with what oil is used ~Peace~

[@ElwoodPDowd-nz2si]

I am 56 and about to start this hobby.

[@Zedoutdoors]

That's wonderful to hear and I have lots of videos on my channel that should hopefully help you on your journey, happy carving my friend ~Peace~

@@Zedoutdoors would you care to comment on the company Stubai? I am looking at their 400g hatchet to begin with.

[@Bill-hw1iq]

Hi Zed, I have a suggestion for a video. Carving salad serving utensils can be very innovative and creativity is wide open. I have a photo I pulled from facebook that was submitted by another carver that shows an example of a finely crafted set of tongs. One of them has a cut out that I'm particularly interested in learning how one might go about making the proper cuts. I wish I could post it here

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hi Bill I have noted down salad servers and tongs as future tutorial videos buddy ~Peace~

[@lukehall3914]

Absolutely loved these videos. Maybe we (you) could get a ladle video out of Paul in the near future. Thanks as always for your hard work for our enjoyment.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thank you kindly Luke and indeed a Ladle tutorial is on my list of videos to film when circumstances permit ~Peace~

[@lottawatahland4188]

What do you seal the paint with ?

[@Zedoutdoors]

You don't, it's milk paint so is left to be ~Peace~

This is a spoon I'll try with my new starter kit. It'll be quite small, as the pieces of in the kit are 4x1 inch only. I'm not sure if I'll stick to carving after my first attempts, as I'm too terrified to use an axe. We shall see.

[@Zedoutdoors]

It will all come with practise so don;t feel too worried about the axe. Worth mentioning that I have all of my tutorials listed on my website for easier navigation - zedoutdoors.com/video-tutorials
