Carving a wooden spoon | old beechwood
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- This time I am making a wooden spoon from old beech wood.
Tools I used - Japanese saw, flat chisel, spoon gouge, carving knife, some sand papers, pencil and a clamp.
Finishing with olive oil to be fully usable.
It was supposed to be one evening project but with the filming and "directing" it turned into one night project - still good enough.
Wish you to enjoy the video and thanks for waching/commenting/subscribing/whatever :-)

Looks like something Bilbo Baggins would pack in his satchel!
Thank you for doing this and doing it with hand tools. I don’t have all the higher end power tools but want to get into woodworking. This is perfect
Carving a spoon out of dry beech is hard work. Turned out nice though.
Awesome from many perspectives. A+ video, no talking, no barfy music, no 72 min. of someone's face and 2 min. of the object. It is not easy to carve something so simple as a spoon, especially with just hand tools, I know, I've made some, and I've never had a spoon gouge. Nice design, nice sequential work, and nice finished product.
Was nice to see this done with no power tools. Very inspiring.
Thank you very much, I'm happy you find it inspiring.
7:35 I can't watch :o
As someone who has injured my hand with a chisel by doing EXACTLY that, I would advise everyone to not be as stupid as me... Always cut away from yourself and if you cant, use some form of protection on your hand!
A really fine spoon carving video A good use of your tools..
Looks great!
Carving spoons are always fun but take me forever to complete!
Just beautiful, and respect for doing it with minimal hand tools and no vice. I like it when people are adaptable. Such a nice lustre to the spoon in the end, was it just olive oil? One thing I would do prior to sanding is wetting the wood to raise the grain then sand off the raised fibres. All in all great work and great video!
You make it look so easy!
So calming and beautiful. I reaaally want to carve a spoon myself but I don't have electric tools so I will definitely try your way. Thank you very much!!
S. L. A hook knife and a sloyd. 25$ on Amazon. Means to sharpen and strop. And a hatchet. All ya need bud. Just make sure you’re good an sharp or it’s no fun at all. Not to mention, a sharp blade is a safe blade.
So, get a piece of hardwood, and take away everything that doesn’t look like a spoon? OK...I Got it!
I have carved dry wood so I know how much work this had to be - nice job, although there were some scary sections when you had your gouge pointing at your supporting hand - accident waiting to happen. Also, olive oil will go rancid over time so not best choice.
Prove it , I don't see any videos all talk 🙄
What oil do you recommend as a better option?
@@passionatefruit164 drying oils: raw linseed, walnut, poppy seed, tung oil. All food safe and won't go rancid over time. Olive oil goes rancid, spoiled some of my earlier pieces. Live and learn
S87WOOD
@@somika87 i raccommend all type of mineral oil and if you dont want to spend too much you can also use baby oli!
Baby oil? That is not a food-safe oil. It has added fragrance added to it. Stay away from anything with added fragrances unless it is an essential oil, but even that I wouldn't use. Mineral oil or hemp oil and bees wax blended together works beautifully. I can send you a sample of mine that I make if you like.
This is the first vid of yours that I watched, Subscribed !!! Please keep up the good work.
音が心地よいし、素敵なスプーン
Jimmy Hendrix played a right-handed guitar left-handed and towards the end of his career, he wouldn't even tune it. Any way you can get there is a good way. Love the spoon.
Tim Allsup Fender also made a lefthanded guitar to Jimmy didn't they?
Beautiful work!
I'm a simple man, I see a butterfly joint, I press like.

Very nice work, I would have used a coping saw instead of all that chisel work, but to each his own!
Probably the best example of how not to use basic hand tools.
European red beech I believe? Nice close dense grain with the tell tale small red streaks through the wood. Holds great detail. Got any more?
It is from Europe but I am not sure if it is red beech, although it has slight red "stains" in it. The grain is beautiful with the coloring in it but unfortunately the piece you see in the video is the last one I have.
nice work!..and nice color..
Lovely! Thanks for sharing.
Well,that was different!!!!!!!! Very nyce.
Sawing dry wood on a flat and slick surface covered with saw dust, especially beech, with no means to keep the work piece steady, like a vice or a bench hook, is a good recipe for cutting your self.
Rick Schuman he seems to have pulled it off! LOL
I'm just trying to figure out what he has against a coping saw
Are u fucking serious it’s a hand saw what is he going to do slip then just keep sawing give me a break nobody has ever cut themselves with a hand saw
Beautiful.
Verry nice work ! 👏🏻👏🏻👍
Stunning
Amazing. Very good.
Very nice, when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a fancy smoking pipe
Good job 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice ..amazing what is that? That u pour on the spoon
My best guess would be linseed oil. One of the easiest foodsafe woodfinishes out there.
from the top of the bottle, it looks like olive oil .... and in the desc it says olive oil was used to finish the spoon.
cl west I was thinking that too. I just started spoon carving and have been using almond oil. If olive will work it’s way cheaper.
@@heriberthuber54 linseed oil is not entirely food safe, neither is olive oil both of those go rancid over time. Just to step ahead of your answer: flaxseed oil what is basically non boiled linseed oil is food safe but it is much darker
güzel bir çalışma. güzel bir işçilik. elinize sağlık
Good Work~
Please NEVER point a chisel toward your other hand. One slip or successful chiseling away of the wood and you lose a LOT of blood, and maybe some/all of a finger or two. This is one of the many reasons bench vises were invented!
You should go hang out with the guy in the comments that thinks you can cut yourself with a hand say the way he is using that chisel is by no means dangerous there was almost no lateral pressure on the chisel it was pretty much all rotational torque it would be very hard to cut yourself like that. bunch of fucking pussies in this comment section scared of hand tools
@@Amplefii and one, who assumes every person knows how to properly handle hand tools. i will agree with you on the chisel but the pull saw on the other hand if someone doesn't know how to handle any saw really could have it jump, and rake across a finger or two resulting in tiny cuts across them. it may not be deadly or extremely painful but can be discouraging for someone new to hand tools, which is why it's always nice, and the smart thing to do by educating in a proper, and non-hostile way that you've obviously failed to do. hand tools can be just as dangerous if not more so than any power tool because they depend purely on human error, and judgment, and if you've never used a hand tool there will be a right way to handle, and use them properly to make sure you're safe and you have a good end product.
nice job mate keep on moving we will suport y :)
like the dutchman patch
The flat chisels look like aldi chisels. I know cause I have some, best 9 bucks I ever spent
The long way round...
Way too long but you know... practice makes perfect :)
That wood is dry as a dry bar
Nice video, really different to how I carve a spoon (and must be said yours is much, much better!) please could you tell me what oil you applied at the end? Thanks for sharing.
He used olive oil, it's in the description =)
@@Runa_idk thanks, missed that :-)
Feral Grandad do not use vegetable or coconut oils as they go rancid in high heat etc, and are considered ‘wet cures’ that need reapplications often. And DO NOT used boiled linseed oil, it is made with heavy metals that are toxic if you are using the spoon in the kitchen, but RAW linseed oil/flaxseed oil is great, and is considered a dry cure that fills the gaps and dries to eliminate the chance of water or food getting soaked into the spoon and effecting it. I make and sell spoons and use flaxseed oil on them all so they age well.
Feral Grandad I too carve much different than this. With hatchets, gouges and knife finish
Laura Undem I was thinking about that I’ll delete my comment
do you only make them by hand
Lovely !! 👍
Thanks.
Realy good work can i ask you how long its take?
Jan Pelka about two hours, skilled could do it in half an hour but there should never be rushing in wood carving!
@@tommy-talks wow it's great time for me it would take mayby 2 days or more
Jan Pelka noo, you just have to be brave and cut bigger pieces 👍🏻
Tommi Pihlajamäki Enjoy the process, and as you learn, you will get better and faster. Even then, if you can’t enjoy the process, why bother. Have fun with it.
beautiful
Ладно, решил без фрезы сделать... Но буржуины не знают что такое топор? LOL
Ohhhhh BEECH.
good job :)
is the spoon ready for use after oiling?
Alyssa Summers yes but make sure it is dry then hand wash it to remove any left over saw dust or bacteria
It was like you were making love to this spoon in creating it ! So Whouah
Go on you are talented
Rule 1 of photography, make your subject as big as possible in the field of view. This is a good video that could have been excellent, but the actual activity is about 5% of the frame. I love the spoon though.
Janet Holmes also take time to do multiple point of views. Great video and great spoon. Close ups and other interesting view make i top notch!
@Janet Holmes.. It’s fine, stop being a snob. There is no “number one rule of photography” that says you need to make your subject “as big as possible in the field of view.” I like the wider field of view showing what was subtracted from the block of wood to make the spoon, the various tools used, and the work put into it all. This video is more about the process than the spoon itself. “Rules” in photography can make for dull photos, and dull videos.
Its a woodworker. And i liked the vid a lot. So why so bothered?
That’s the most incorrect thing I have ever heard about photography or videography
🇧🇷 algum?
Nice
Can I carve an ice spoon?
i love it
Nice spoon but there are easier ways to make them. Green wood!
Thank you! Sure there are easier ways, I just want to show it can be done with those few tools but I believe there could be even easier way with these.
What would you sell this for, please also quote currency
I'm working almost the same
What kind of saw is that in the video?
It's a japanese saw. There's a lot of different types of Japanese saws, but they all cut when pulling while western saws cut then pushing. That's the main difference. I think Japanese saws are a tool that every woodworker should own
@@andreazttr4757 I think they are far easier to use and learn for a newbie as well, so if someone starts on woodworking and debating on what saw to buy first,
i always tell them to get a Japanese saw, a double sided Ryoba for rip and crosscut
legal
Are your methods dependent on whether the wood is seasoned or not ?
Also where to you pick up such varied tools as you have? I've not seen them in any shops been looking for ages

What camera do you use??

nice spoon . that wood was very dry and hard im sure . had to be patient . i thought you had a really good spoon until you fucked it up with sandpaper and oil .
Nico Noname sandpaper makes spoons furry over time and can trap food particles in it. A smooth cut is better.
He’s not wrong a good slice aalmost seals the wood. I’ll rough some of my pieces up with a sand block after hand plane passes or the stain won’t take. A good edge leaves wood like glass.
Tracker Jacker Never having made any wooden utensil, can you advise me, does sandpaper fuzz up the grain even when using the super fine grit? Hmmm, this may explain why most spoon carving videos end with lovely shaping with sharp knife.
horrible accelerated vides
Looks like you need to sharpen those chisels , it shouldn’t be that hard to carve through wood even if it’s hard wood & I know your taking your time to avoid any & all mistakes but If you sharpen them you can make the chisel work for you & not the other way around . A easier way to do this is use green wood cuts way easier it softer .
Easier yes, but where's the fun in that. We can't always get fresh-cut wood, so the only choice is precut. You are spot on about his chisels. I was thinking the same thing when I heard a couple of grunts, lol. I just bought a huge load of maple, ash, and hickory from a guy off FB Market place that is on average 2-3" thick by 10-12" wide & vary in length, but nothing longer than 3ft. It is beautiful stuff that are offcuts from a big build he did. He was going to burn them but lucky for me he listed the entire load for $20! Hard as a rock, well-seasoned boards. They will be a challenge, but I enjoy that. This hobby is something I get lost in. It's so relaxing!
It's amazing to see how every carver has their own style. I've not seen two videos with the same approach. And one learns something every time. Thank you!
No offense but I recommend sharpening your tools and maybe investing in a vice since you seem to be exerting a lot of unnecessary energy
Blows my mind that theres over 200 dislikes. Job well sir. Keep up with the briliant artistry.
Oh my God! Thank you so much for sharing my eyes are so happy to watch this😍,....and I love that there was less wood waste and less extreme cutting with the axe which would require it to be outdoor and I would be afraid to hurt myself
although I understand this might be required to carve bigger things/objects... anyways so far I'm still watching but I would like to try carving a spoon very soon and your video was very instructional with all the drawing, providing more precision ❤️❤️❤️😍
I eat soup every day if you give me that spoon!
2KDSurvival I need one too, to go with my favorite soup/cereal/whatever wooden bowl. But I want to try making my own spoon now.
Wood carving asmr
Wow. That is one pretty spoon. Great work on a nice design
Nice. Watching this lowered my blood pressure several points for sure. Keep up the good work!
Awesome spoon. I really like the shape, I haven’t made one like that yet. I think I’ll do a similar shape for my next one. I’ve got close to forty of them now. I carve spoons to relax after work every day. It’s an odd way to relax considering I work as a wood carver. Lol
Great video and keep up the awesome work.
Might I suggest finishing with a mineral oil or beeswax, or a mix of both. Any oil with fat like vegetable or olive oil will go rancid eventually.
I like the sound when you cut the wooden spoon with the chisel.
Cute spoon! And I like that you did all work without any big electric noisy tools. Just hands and instruments, very good
Thank you! Thats the way i prefer - using those quiet sharp hand tools where you can really see how well these work.
Absolute masterpiece end to end. The background music and talking were all done by the tools and the wood; perfect.
Whilst there is nothing wrong with a bandsaw, watching this done with an Hassunme and chisel was very refreshing. I had my heart in my mouth when you made those cross-cuts and broke out the waste! Just shows how hard and seasoned that beech really was.
Fabulous video, and a lesson to us all in every way - an absolute joy to watch. I will be back to watch it again many times.
Well done on a great looking video and a nice looking spoon. I’m also a beginner woodworker who is interested in learning to do things the old fashioned way, so I admire you showing us your process as you learn. I highly recommend checking out the videos of Paul Sellers, who teaches really good woodworking technique. After cutting myself badly several times, my biggest areas of learning have been general safety and how to sharpen tools. All the best on your adventures.
Joel Roberts Thank you. I would like to start wood carving. I hear the best tools are quite important. Would you kindly post a link to some of the basic good tools to start with? I would appreciate it very much. Thanks again 🙏
Great video! I would recommend using and axe and the knife more. Its safer, like really
Hi! What are the sizes the 2 gouges you used for making the bowl?
Coping saw. $8.89 all day long at Home Depot.
Very neat and elegant piece. Nice job, sir.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it.
Somebody get this guy a vice before he slices a tendon or two. Lots of unsafe techniques in this video. Beginners take note! Never chisel toward your hands.
Maybe you can make a video showing proper technique?
I think he's doing good. You yourself better never chisel towards your hand :)
yeah, 2:30 is scary
7:29, too
9:40, 9:55
Wow man, so beautiful work! Greetings from Brazil!
Nice to see it done by hand
Great video! Thank you for making it and for showing us how it is done.
Sandpaper makes the wood fur up upon washing thus leaving gaps for bacteria to breed. A blade finish is preferable, I believe. Very pretty spoon tho. Good job.
But you can wet it, sand it again and it will be fine
Wow, that looked rather hard. But a lovely spoon!
i loved this
Very good example of a good sequence to making a spoon. I learned a lot viewing the video
Damn, that spoon smooooooooooooooth, boy
That is a beautiful spoon with minimal tools. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice Creativity
Вот так, с шутками прибаутками из куска дерева ВЫЛАМЫВАЕТСЯ ложка. А чё одним молотком сделать не попробовал?
a spoon with lovely lines from an old dry plank...well done!
Good job👏👏👏
olive oil??
