Thank you very much!

Thanks man, glad you like it!

Noted! I’m working on finding the right balance of not having over an hour of video but still being satisfying to watch. I appreciate your feedback ❤️

Ya I hear ya! The knife work and hook knife is the best in my opinion. The axe work is cool too but I didn't mind that being sped up!

Yeah this was by no means a master class on splitting a log by hand lol. This may have been the hardest log I’ve ever tired to split , very twisted. I have a few wooden wedges but I could definitely make more. Thanks for watching ❤️

Happy to help! I’ve done that many times myself, just give yourself some room and don’t get too close to your outline. It’s a fine balance

Well if it is toxic than I’m going down too

I will definitely carve a few eating spoons

I don’t do any polishing, everything is finished with a sharp blade ,burnished and oiled. Those three things create a very smooth finish

Thanks for the feedback ❤️

This piece was stored as a log with the ends painted for 1.5 years or so. It loses moisture more slowly that way so it was simi green. Depending on the wood species and how dry it is will depend on how hard it to carve. I’m mostly carving hard woods but generally not anything super dry. If it’s too dry most hardwood are going to be a lot more work than it’s worth. You could always try carving something small and see how it feels.

@@modestgreenwoodcarving2899 Thank you painting the ends is a good idea! and easy. I like your videos, spoon carving videos are a rabbit hole, so I only watch a couple of people.

I appreciate your support ❤️. It is quite the rabbit hole for sure but it’s a ton of fun and I love seeing new people try it out!

Thank you 🙏

Noted👍

@@modestgreenwoodcarving2899 Thx bro, i think it is more enjoyable and relaxing without music, the sounds of steel and wood is very beautiful :)

I agree and most of my videos are music free this is I think the second time I’ve used music. Just wanted to play around and try new stuff, but I appreciate the feedback. It’s easier to not deal with copyrights and whatnot 😂

@@modestgreenwoodcarving2899 ouh sorry, i didnt see the other ones until know, but i will begin soon :)

No worries, I appreciate your interest!

The adze and large bent gouge are from Jason a Lonon, a blacksmith in the US. The carving axe is from Robin Wood

Awesome, thank you!

Great video I to have a modest shop witch don't use any more because it's in my basement and now mainly in a wheelchair due to a bone diease in feet.now do it on front porch carving spoons and crochet hooks.you are an inspiration to me to keep going.thanks

@@rogerthomas738 Hi Roger, Sorry to hear about the bone disease, at least you can continue with your carvings. Stay positive my friend!

Interesujący film. Świetnie dobrana muzyka. Ja też, amatorsko, strugam łyżki z drewna. Właśnie jestem w trakcie robienia podobnej, jak na filmie. Tylko dużo mniejszej. Pozdrawiam z Polski.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yeah I’m probably not making minimum wage on this one 😂 haven’t fully decided if I want to sell it or not yet though.

Thank you🙏

It’s gotta be more than 20 at least maybe even 30. Rough shaping I did over 3 days putting several hours each day. Another few hours in the finishing cuts. Just put oil on it today though

Thank you!

I did sell these, I have a website modestgreenwoodcarving.com 😊

Yeah even when I really like something I’ve made, I’m happy to see it go to someone who will love it and use it for many years

Many thanks 😊

I don’t normally carve anything this dry, in this case I was just testing out the new mallet haha.

Thank you for your kind words🙏 I’m in the US

The adze is mostly ment for rough work but if you wanted to have that rough texture this would be a good way. You could achieve a similar texture with gouges, that would leave a much cleaner finish😊

@@modestgreenwoodcarving2899 see, the beautiful thing about wood in a bio active enclosure is that it decomposes and it’s perfect for growing vine type plants, mosses and lichens to grab onto And the the way you’re chipping the wood it’s almost like there’s little layers for all sorts of roots and stuff to hold on to

@@modestgreenwoodcarving2899 in my opinion if you’re looking for a long term tank you probably want wood as a backdrop instead of gorilla glue or expanding foam as most people in the hobby like to use

Oh I didn’t realize you ment to put it inside. In that case the rough finish would be perfect , plus the wood is green and still full of moisture. I don’t know much about terrariums but it this idea sounds interesting to me

@@modestgreenwoodcarving2899 well if you ever do want to get into terrariums or aquariums you have woodworking skills and that goes a long way. But I must warn you, it’s a super addictive hobby and I bet even more so for someone who already builds stuff lol

#4 does have some incredible grain!

Ya know I saw that I spelled quiet wrong and than apparently forgot to fix it 😂

Thats a creative idea!

The biggest nut bowl I’ve ever seen 😂

I’m honored you like it that much!
