Well done Brett! I'm going to mention this video (and your channel) in the next episode of Wood Carving Weekly.
Hey, thanks so much! Very appreciated, my friend! More videos are dropping later this week! I'm on the wood hunt and looking for birch, more maple, and hopefully CHERRY!!
My pleasure Brett! Good luck with the wood hunt!@@bigbearwoodshack
Nice to see the angle between the bowl and the stem
It is tough trying to find a great angle to display how the carve goes. Viewing head-on is fine, but the camera angle, I found, let's you see my line of sight which is super important in creating a symmetrical spoon. Thanks so much!
Nice work roughing out that blank! It takes some skill to do that with an axe.
Cheers my friend! It sure does. It takes much practice. A quote from a famous spoon carver is that "You get the knack for carving spoons after about 300". 😂 I'm definitely over that number but in honesty not by much. Maybe 400 or 450 at this stage of the spoon journey.
Thanks. Good instructions. Take care😊
Thanks, you too!
Nice job! Just don't let your keel get too thin. ;-)
Keel is something that I used to struggle with. I leave "meat" on the blank to carve my keel out better with a straight knife until my desired thinness. Definitely had many fails leading up to developing a carving system. Cheers!
