I'm so glad you promoted your channel on Reddit few years ago, always brings a smile to my face! We're lucky that you're so patient to put this work into your hobby :)
i think you could seal the crack with some pine pitch, i use it when i want to remove imperfections or smoothen the wood without removing too much material, after sealing it you could grind the excess glue off
I tried that once, but got a nasty crack in the cup. What kind of wood did you use? Greenwood or dried? I suspect the crack in mine was due to the wood not having been dry enough, similar to my recent axe handle.
@@MakeItPrimitive I used "cajueiro" wood, a brazilian native tree, that gives caju, juicy and delicious fruits. The wood was still green, and had some cracks. But none of them was on the bowl part.
I made a clay spoon a while ago (it can be seen in my first pottery video), but I haven't really used it much yet. It works, of course, but is very prone to breaking due to its shape and material. A wooden spoon is the better choice when you're on the move. Concerning efficiency, don't forget one also has to gather and refine the clay, the firewood and start the fire; if you factor this in, there might not be that much of a difference.
I think you would achieve a better result not by gouging, but by drilling. I believe you can make pretty effective drill from beaver teeth. With which it would be possible to pick out and turn out the fibers from wood.
the spoons turned out quite well! Is it possible to make a circular bowl from a wide enough trunk cross section? Or is it the fact that it would be end grain make it not suitable for holding liquid?
they turned out to beautiful. great work man. the effort was worth it
Wonderful video. Great ending with the burnishing & closing the poors of the wood..👍
❤❤❤

Genialne!
Großartig.
Happy 2k subs!
I made some too, but i used fire to carve it, instead of tools. I worked pretty well.

Interesting stuff. Pottery would have been less calorie intensive. I'd be curious to see how well clay utensils hold up.

Nice spoon and bowl , great to see this done with your primitive tools , thanx for sharing
Show show obrigada
Love your videos. Can you show how to make a chisel in the next stone tools video? Thanks.

I haven't tried it yet, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work. People carve kuksas from birch wood all the time.
