Another great video. I appreciate that you take the time to care for and consider some of these less-thought-of art forms. It appears to be one of those quiet meditation sort of hobbies, not much unlike the waiting period of fishing.
Thanks, I bought a bowel axe about six months ago, want to make a few seats. Glad I watched this. I can see now that I need a couple mallets to control how I chip the seats out. Your quit a inspiration to me. Thanks
That handmade adze worked amazingly well.... after watching this I can see it's value over even the Swiss made model. Night and day difference. Take Care.
David you are one of my absolute heroes ever since dual survival. Being disabled I can no longer get out and do the things I so loved to do. So watching your videos is a wonderful distraction. I do have one quick question. How do you stop the bowls from being so porous ?
You can also use mineral oil to close up the cell structure or you can burn harden the inside and outside to close the cell structure up. Dave is right though, using green wood is your first best defense at having a porous piece.
Dave...I would assume that hardwood would b the ideal wood to use but is there any wood n particular that's better than another?? Great video & keep up the great work!
Enjoyed your video. Does the guy who made the one you primarily used have a website to buy from. ? I like to do this in the old ways rather then with a lathe.
hey dave. what type of wood would u recomend me using as im trying this for my first time. i live in sweden and can get my hands on most local types of wood.
Thanks for sharing this technique with us! I have really gotten in to recreational woodcarving thanks to your video's I started making letteropeners, spinning tops and dice. I am trying to make a fork out of wood, do you have any tips for that?
You should cut the teeth first with a saw, while the materiel still have some mass and can handle saw cuts without splitting. Or you can make a "pin fork" thats simply just a woodhandle with 3-4 small tooth pick size holes for replaceable teeth.

Thanks for the tip on the mallet. Just getting started with carving, and this video has been really helpful...
thanks buddy. Just what I needed for my first adze carved bowl.
Always a pleasure to watch a craftsman at his work. Thanks for sharing Dave.
Great idea using the mallet for better control!

A master of your craft!!! You make it look so easy. What a great vid-I thoroughly enjoyed watching.
Hell im more relaxed just watching this.
Very soothing, peaceful. Hope to see more videos of you using the adze. Thanks.

Cool tool! I've seen people carving boats from logs with this! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you ,i was going to buy a combo adze & axe ,but you made a big point on control over hacking ,you changed my mind ,im buying axe separate
Great example how sharp tools cut like butter. Great video Dave..as usual, thanks.
Great video for making a bowl, thanks Dave.

Use green wood brother

Nice demo! Thanks for this as I am in the middle of adzing out a maple long bowl.

There is something so satisfying about this video! Love it
do you have Brad Holman's web link. How do you buy his tools.
man do i like these videos , thanks for sharing .
Nice action with Bead's adz! That thing carves!
Sure beats burning, great tool.
Dave, could you describe the difference between using the adze vs a gouge? I have much experience with gouges, almost none with an adze.
And thank you for, “Concavity”!
I gotta say. Love the shirt.
Nice ... like this better then the lathe
Good Job Artist
thanks for the tip helps a lot
Very interesting
Next up - dugout canoe :)
Same process bigger log
And a bigger adze. Actually I am sure you can make a canoe with a small adze...if you have a few months of time, ha.
Enjoyed your video. Does the guy who made the one you primarily used have a website to buy from. ? I like to do this in the old ways rather then with a lathe.
Nice work, regards from PL I'am Your fan from DS witch Cody L :)
Great work Dave. Are you going to stain it?
so satisfining to watch😄
Awesome
hey dave. what type of wood would u recomend me using as im trying this for my first time. i live in sweden and can get my hands on most local types of wood.
That "woodland vise/workbench" is called a 'clave'.
Is it more tiring to pound it versus to swing it?
Using the mallet turns it into a power tool.
would pre drilling holes with a auger help opening up the blank ?
Where does your buddy sell his tools?
Sir if you use a mallet on adze than why not to use just a large u gouge rather than adze?
Do you have a link to the adze's?
great

Thank you! I'll try both of those methods. I use a pretty soft wood though, would you advise a stronger wood for this, or does it not matter?
was this green or dry wood?
Green
+wildernessoutfitters how do you prevent cracking other than removing the pith
Let it dry outside in my shed where it is humid, I have only ever had one project crack and I took it into the house
I thought it was pronounced uh-daze don't make fun of me
