Fantastic video. Don's a wealth of knowledge, and I really appreciate that he shares it so openly.
I'm pretty new to the world of spoons--really happy to find this awesome video.
Carved my first spoon and doing my best to oil it properly, this was Immensely helpful, thank you.
What an interesting talk. Thanks lee for the effort, well worth it.
+David Stovell Cheers David, glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing. Learnt loads.
awsome info... dont worry about it, since the audio is still decent.... thank you very much dude! its a bit like being back in Uni , so my brain instantly tried to shut down but I fought myself through in two sessions.
+Woodsmans Finest glad you managed to push through it mate, valuable information.
thanks kindly for sharing this. Great info, a bit technical but useful :)
Cheers for posting this up loads of information. Wish I could have got to spoon fest this year but could not get time off work. Maybe next year.
+TheWizzkid67 You're welcome, hopefully see you at the fest next year.
Great job on documenting Dons talk, will be referencing this when I get round to testing out oiling of my spoons. Gutted your footage got corrupted as have had that happen to me before and it's not nice ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors Cheers mate, looking forward to seeing what footage you got.
Thanks for sharing this Lee, lots of interesting information! I wish I smart enough to understand all of the things he explains. LOL It's all very interesting though and I'll be trying out some of these methods and ideas for sure.
Thanks again bro,

How often do you use wax or mix wax with your oils before applying them which should stop the oil from eking out of the pores I'm new to your community look forward to hearing from you by 4 now Ken
At 3.23 in the video Don mentions linseed oil as a conjugated oil. But isn't this a NON-conjugated oil?
What is the difference between the oil curing and it setting
Just terminology I guess. It will soak into timber and feel dry to the touch quite quickly but over time it polymerises which basically means in turns from a liquid into a solid.
Hi Lee, I don’t suppose you have a particular brand of raw linseed oil you recommend for eating spoons? In the clip he mentions Swedish cold pressed raw linseed oil
I'm a total novice. I just carved my first wooden spoon a few weeks ago. I was wondering, can I reuse the oily rags of walnut oil that I used on my spoon. I know that walnut oil does not go rancid on wood. Is there any difference when it comes to a an old cotton t-shirt? Just wondering.
+Cynthia Esquivel , I apply using my bare hands and very thin coats, but I do buff the extra oil off with a rag. I just throw these in the laundry with my other rags (or my working duds that I don't generally wear in public) and continue reusing them after they've been washed
It's very unlikely, but it is possible that many rags stored in an enclosed space could auto-ignite. I hang mine up on a clothesline to ensure there's little risk of this happening.
Don Nalezyty is correct that the material & oils can ignite. If you launder them, don't put them in the dryer. The additional heat can contribute to that ignition. I have investigated a fire that was caused this way. Natural oils that were in dishtowels, that were dried and then folded and put right into the cabinet...all contributed to enough heat to ignite.
