You can tell he is very observant and thoughtful all the way through the process. And this makes it clear how he has become such a skilled craftsman in such a short time. Thanks for bringing more amazing content to us, Zed! Stay well :)
Thank you kindly Thomas, i'm humbly trying to do my part in spreading the knowledge and am grateful to be able to spend the time with so many talented folk ~Peace~
Marvelous interview and teaching from Aaron. He shows his mastery with the axe and the other spoon carving tools apart from the proper technique to afford a spoon project starting from the log. Thanks both for such a great video.
I was already into woodworking, furniture and the like, and then I found your videos, Zed, and that got me into green woodworking. Thanks for making all this information available to us, and thanks to your guests and friends for sharing all their knowledge! Cheers!
A sincere thank you for your kind words Hugo and worth mentioning that I have all my tutorials listed on my blog for easier navigation - zedoutdoors.com/video-tutorials
This is the second of your videos that I started and could not stop watching. I am not a spoon carver but would love to try. Your videos make wanting to take this up irresistible. Excellent work here and excellent sense of process.
Lovely wood, great sharp knife and a lot of skill = beautiful result. Let's not forget the hard work of Zed in producing a catalogue of really useful and interesting videos. It's particularly useful when Zed asks his guests the sort of questions that a complete novice like me would want to ask. Some things are only obvious once explained. So thanks for that, and keep fighting the corner of us beginners. I've just made my first spoon. It looks like a stick that my dog's chewed. Early days though, I suppose. Thanks guys. Greetings from Scotland 👍🔪 Subscribed!
A sincere pleasure to be connected and super well done on your first spoon. It's all about practise and enjoying the process, happy carving my friend! ~Peace~
Really love your passion about it Zed. This is what makes humanity beautiful. Passion. And yours is contagious. Being fascinated by the beauty and simplicity of a spoon, thats what is meant to be, what could save us from chaos. This might look a bit too far from a strech but as scholar working on conflict this is my view of the world.
Hey Maryanne thank you so much for your kind words, it was a real joy to spnd the day with Aaron and to be able to introduce him to a wider audience. Hope you're well and we're long overdue a catch up ~Peace~
I'll note that down for a future potential video, worth mentioning that I have covered sharpening of these tools in quite a bit of detail already. If you scroll down this list on my blog you'll see a sharpening section - zedoutdoors.com/video-tutorials
Very nice job Aaron! I picked out a few steps and techniques that I missed prior and had questions about and it was good to see that you showed me just what I was looking for! Much of this was knife-handling as well as some priorities in the actual shaping of the spoon. Was good to study again. You are well-spoken and this was a treat to review!! Thanx much, Jeremy.
Really nice technique with brilliantly sharpened and well chosen tools. You are certainly a born teacher as well as an inspired carver. I too would appreciate it if you felt inspired to share your sharpening techniques. I missed this video 10 months ago.
You explaines really well going with the grain or against. I felt it directly and could wee it on video as well but now it s clear in my mind even without trying (or at least it will help).
I was very sad to see that video end what a great talent that man has in a short period of time thank you very much zed for doing the video as well I always thoroughly enjoy them keep up the good work from a very happy subscriber 😀
Another awesome spoon carving video. Just stellar! Aarons work is some of my favorite on Instagram. I cannot wait for the coffee scoop. I have always revered his scoops. I really like seeing him use the axe he did. It is not a $500 specialty custom axe. It looks like he could take that out bushcrafting, process wood, and still craft a thing of beauty. I think this really exemplifies bushcraft (I don't know what axe it is, just what it looks like to me). Thank you for doing these @zedoutdoors. I keep watching your spoon carving series over and over and will keep watching. I just wish I could thumb up every time I watch.
@@aarongarrett4184 Thanks for letting me know! Your control of that axe is something to be revered. I also love the crook knife sheath. That latch is awesome. Im going to have to update mine to something like that! Your work is astounding!
Sound quality is terrific, listening to this with headphones is a treat. Thanks for putting a microphone on Aaron for this. Is that new? Enjoying this series very much!
Thank you kindly, indeed I recently acquired a wireless microphone set up. Still lots to learn in terms of using it properly, getting the right audio settings, etc and as always a continuous learning curve ~Peace~
Aup zed just got some spare rime so going through all you old vidios again love them . Just wounded what brand of axe is he using if you can remember was 4 years ago lol😂
@Zedoutdoors Hi zed I'm good thank you how's you hope alls well . Thank you for getting in touch ' yerr I thought it was the axe I was thinking of . You take care of yourself buddy and keep up your fantastic vidios 👍
Zed, yet again another great video, Aaran certainly is a dab hand at this carving lark. Brilliant bit of work on his part expertly executed. His sraight knife is a beauty, hand forged. He does mention the makers name, I have checked his website but, yep you guessed it, out of stock :-(( I know there are other knives out there, but i think if I'm honest I definitely have a bit of a passion for the hand forged knife, they seem to be far superior to the sort of mass product. A nice long blade, something i am looking for as i am 6'6" with hands like shovels, and I think /feel that a blade that is that little bit longer gives you much greater scope in your knife work. Great film Sir thank you. Hoping to hear from the knife creator. Nice one Aaron. All the best Les.
Hi Leslie the knife maker is Adam Ashworth, if you contact him on his Instagram he can tell you when he's completed his next batch of knives - instagram.com/adamashworth97/?hl=en
Hi Benjamin thank you for watching and for your kind words. Apologise as I don't remember the size of Aarons knife, you can message him on Instagram and ask him there ~Peace~
Very nice video, thanks very much for this. His straight knife appears a bit longer than most. Is it actually longer or is that a trick of perspective from the camera angle?
@@aarongarrett4184 thanks very much fir the information. It appears that the extra length aids in sweeping cuts to level the bowl of the spoon. I am going to watch this again for other possible advantages.
Zed, will you also mention in the show notes the tools that are used, the brands that is. For someone starting and wanting to know what to buys :-). Thank you so much!
Hi Mike, the wood in this instance was pretty fresh. Ideally you want to carve with freshly cut wood, but the reality is that you carve with whatever it is you can get a hold of ~Peace~
So I have a little bit different question for you. I’m just setting up getting ready to start carving. I’ve ordered a carving axe recommended by Andreea Grad and a bunch of other tools I’ve seen used by folks on your site. I’m getting ready to set up a chopping block and am wondering what a good height might be. Im 5’7” and would like one that is comfortable and safe to use. Thanks
Generally the hieght of the chopping block should be around waist high when you're standing up. I hope to film a tutorial on making a chopping block moving forward as it is a topic I have not covered yet ~Peace~
I’ve watched this a few times now, or parts of, and a question I have is ‘how old is the wood that Aaron used in this video?’ I have started carving, mostly with very green wood, perhaps too green if that is possible. My axe cuts aren’t as good or precise but I understand that. My thinking is the wood perhaps needs a little ageing - months?
The wood being very green is no problem at all, in fact the greener it is the better. Getting precise axe cuts is really all about technique and the sharpness of the axe, so thats where I would suggest you work on. You don't want to let the wood age at all, the more you do the more it seasons and becomes harder to carve ~Peace~
Hi Jake, i'm afraid I don't remember as this video was filmed a while ago. I have put a link to Aarons Instagram where you can ask him directly ~Peace~
It's similar to burnishing leather where you use a pebble, antler, etc with a smooth edge and rub it along the surface of the spoon in short bursts so it creates heat and flattens the surface ~Peace~
wow u really have a skill there. beautiful. im a stroke survivpr limited use in left hand. its hard 4 me 2 do things now. would u b interested in masking me a hoimemade wooden spoon to send to me in nova scotia? it would b treasured 4ever. if not, thats ok i really adsmire ur work. thx 4 reading my note pardon typos im only able to use 2 fingers. have a fabulous day... fr karen in nova scotia.

What does burnishing mean and involve?
