Coffee Spoon: Carved From Red Oak Then Finished With Ammonia Fumes

  • Watch as I carve this small coffee spoon from quarter sawn red oak. I finish the spoon using a process where you expose the wood to high strength ammonia, the fumes react with tannins in the wood and naturally darken the color.

    My 4 year old girl loves your videos. We watch one every day. Her 3 favorites are the spoons. "Dad, can we watch The Wood Guy make a spoon tonight?!". She asked tonight: "Dad, do you think he'll ever make a fork?, I would love to see that"... So, I told her we'd try. Anyone else want to see a "fork build" video?

    Seeing all of the wood shavings of different colors and shapes made me think that you might be able to do something cool with them. I know there are a lot of youtubers that do resin projects and turn resin on lathes. I realize it would be getting away from the really pure woodworking motif, but a project of poured resin with chips in it (or any project with shavings) could be interesting.

    I used to fix antiques with an old school guy. We used to work on a lot of very expensive pieces and some would need extensive repairs. I remember using amonia a few times to age a few pieces of wood so it would look original when a piece of wood was missing. We did French Polish on all the stuff. See a lot of people on line trying to mimic it, but it is a lot harder than what people are doing and teaching.

    • @Stavroguine826

      Then why don’t you explain the right technique ? Because I’ve seen so many people telling the exact same thing about every topic… but how strange, they never tell how they would do. I’m 100% sure that you and this were just trying to mimic my technic but you found out it was more difficult than you thought.

    • @robertm4050
      @robertm4050 9 місяців тому

      @@Stavroguine826 WTF is your problem? I never said anything about this guys technique or how he used ammonia. I only said I used ammonia like this too. I was talking about French Polish. I see a lot of people using bastardized versions of it online. I have pieces of furniture in museums that I repaired dating back to the 1790's. And to think I could or would explain the technique in a random comment is idiotic and not reasonable. And the play on words in your tag is cute, should have used an i instead of the middle e for sentiment.

      @@gregorymosher5008 Yes I've used white vinegar multiple times I've even tried, cider vinegar as well as malt vinegar. They all have different effects on different Woods, obviously the woods with a greater set of tannins do well. But I've also used white vinegar and black tea which also helps with darkening the wood. The black tea will release tannins into your vinegar and then help bring out the colour. I'm a big proponent of natural finishes.
