Not sure any wood is unremarkable in the hands of this master! Such beautiful wooden sculptures :-)
Amen to that ~Peace~
Zed I love all your videos!!!And this three-part mini series was just fantastic! Thanks to both of you!!!!!!
That is very kind of you to say so Ron thank you! ~Peace~
I love it! Great job. I have used this technique ever since watching this video. They have turned out fantastic! Thank You so much!!!!
Thats awesome to hear and no doubt Deborah will be chuffed to know her teaching has helped in some way ~Peace~
Wow, yet another brilliant mini series. Thanks so much Zed. I didn't even know you could bake spoons.
Indeed yes it's a techniaue fairly new to me hence I was eager to cover it on a video. Many thansk for watching and for the kind words Luke thank you ~Peace~
Thank u zed really enjoyed all three videos what a wonderful lady thank u also Deborah
That is very kind of you to say so Matthew thank you ~Peace~
“Although they do impart a slightly spoony smell..” So great. Another awesome video. Thx Zed.
lol thank you kindly Scott :) ~Peace~
Oh man.. I have never tried this, but I will now! What an inspiration, and what a difference it makes! I love this technique :D Walnut oil is what I use anyway, bit these added bits (and the previous video) is just fantastic, can't get enough of it! Thank you so much both of you. :)
A sincere thank you for your kind words and for watching thank you ~Peace~
Having watched many spoon videos… many carvers cannot remember what woods have been used on a lot of the spoons. So I had a thought. Why not make a wood marking? The same as silver or gold have markings. Have a marking for each kind of wood to go along next to the makers mark.
Thats a very good idea David, akin to a universal stamp ~Peace~
Mind blowing! Thank you!
Our pleasure and appreciate your kind words ~Peace~
Please forgive my ignorance, but why are you baking the spoons? What is the purpose of baking them versus leaving them natural?
It's simply a decorative technique ~Peace~
Wow,great video again Zed. I did not even know about baking spoons.
Indeed it's a topic not massively known about in the carving space hence I was eagr to cover it. Take care Kim and many thansk for watching! ~Peace~
Excellent series
Thank you kindly my man ~Peace~
Brillant film!!
You are very kind Jens thank you ~Peace~
I’ve ordered recently one lovely pocket spoon from Deborah. Send her my regards please🌱🍀❤️
That is very nice of you to support her work and no doubt you will enjoy the beautiful spoon she has carved! ~Peace~
Thank you so much for your amazing videos! I have learned so much. Can you tell me if the spoons need to be totally dry to bake them, or can green wood be baked as well? Thank you
Sincerely appreciate the kind words my friend! Ideally the spoon should be dried before baking, as otherwise you have the risk of it cracking what with it still having moisture inside the wood ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors Thank you for the quick reply Zed! I will do so and can't wait to see the results! Best regards from Austria 😊🙏👊🏽🔥🏕️🌲
Zed outdoors wow I’m always looking for new avenues to explore I heard of cooking spoons but to actually bake one interesting lol 😂 that’s a new one on me I has to try this out I do warm up my spoons before I apply vegetable cooking oil on finished spoons I never use any nut oils incase someone has a nut allergy stay awesome dude keep up great work 👍🇮🇹🦊🐾
Indeed yes it's always important to use an oil thats safe for you and many thanks for the kind words John! ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors np keep up the great content 👍🇮🇹🦊🐾🍀
Hey Zed, another wonderful video! A thousand thanks for showing 🙏🙏👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🙏🙏🙏... I'll also bake one or two spoons😎
Greetings - Maik🙏
Damm I remember subbing you when you had 80 odd subs. FairPlay pal really happy for you . Lovely spoons there to .respect to all. Keep happy mate.
Long time my friend and I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for the support this entire time thank you! ~Peace~
Thank you sir. Very informative.
You are very kind Pepek thank you ~Peace~
This is amazing; baking spoons! I love learning (about) new techniques like this. Keen to try it out.
You've also answered the question I came here with: Is it feasible to make spoons out of elm? I have piles of it, but have had mixed results when attempting to make larger items like cheese/cutting boards. Often it pretends to be fully seasoned then, after being worked into something nice, warps or splits overnight just to spite me. Seasoned British elm is of course pretty hard and not a lot of fun to carve, but now I know a spoon is possible I will make an attempt.
Thanks for posting!
🇬🇧
Sincerely appreciate your kind words David and happy carving my friend! ~Peace~
when i started cooking my spoons in the fireplace (after brushing some olive oil) i thought it will be a stupid try...thanks for your wonderful tutorial and explenations, i can confirm i'm less stupid than i thought. cheers from italy
Thank you kindly Andrea and take care my friend :) ~Peace~
Thank you for sharing. If you would like some elm I can bring you some from Nova Scotia, Canada. I will be in London this September.
I am an Irish tree surgeon and have lived in London where I trained way back as a tree surgeon. I am just taking up spoon carving. Thanks David.
Thats a very generous of you David thank you, hope your stay in Canada is a good one and appreciate you watching ~Peace~
If you find yourself heading towards eastern Ontario….
It's so great that you spend time looking at the spoons and talking about the wood and the effects of baking before you get on to the 'how to'' - there is as much education in looking at and understanding the best work as there is in showing the techniques. Now I have to carve enough spoons for my oven.
Sincerely appreciate your kind words Andrea and indeed, Deborah is fantastic when it comes to teaching and demonstrating her craft ~Peace~
Thanks for sharing this . I'm a wood turner and saw Sean Hearne's baked Sycamore spoon and was keen to learn about the process . Great spoons and an enlightening video . ❤
Appreciate your kind words and am happy to hear this video helped. Sean Hern is an awesome guy and a very talented maker ~Peace~
so is baking just to change the color of the wood?
Yes it's primarily a cosmetic thing ~Peace~
Ma’am, you have a serious talent there! I know different woods and different shapes will dry at different rates but roughly how long do you let them dry before baking? I really like the look that creates. It takes a nice looking spoon and makes it something to be ogled shamelessly.
Deborah is an amazingly talented craftswoman and an absolute delight to spend time with ~Peace~
thanx for share, great video
You are very kind Cesar thank you ~Peace~
I really, really, really appreciate these videos. They’re helping so much in my new spooncarving journey! Thank you so much!
That's awesome to hear John and worth mentioning that I have all of the tutorials listed on this page for easier navigation - zedoutdoors.com/video-tutorials
Any advice on how to get rid of the flavour of the wood for an eating spoon? I used juniper and it tastes too much, I wonder that if I bake it may taste less..
The taste of the wood will go away after a period of time and many uses, just need a little patience ~Peace~
I wish I could stay at Deborah's house for a month it would chill me right out. learning with a pro 🙏
She is a truly wonderful person both on and off camera ~Peace~
이것도 보게 되네요
핸드폰으로 보다가 TV로
다시금 보고 있답니다 감사합니다
정말 친절하시네요 감사합니다 ~Peace~
Zed and Deborah thank you both so much for making your videos. As a beginner to spoon carving your videos are so helpful to me thank you .
That's awesome to hear and worth mentioning that I have all of the tutorials listed on this page for easier navigation - zedoutdoors.com/video-tutorials
Thanks a lot!!! Really beautiful designs!
They are indeed and thank you for watching ~Peace~
Thank you Zed and Deborah.
Brilliant video
You are very kind my friend thank you ~Peace~
Funny thing is, at the end when you guys mention combining cooking with spoon baking, that is what I do when my lady bakes a cake, I take the chance to bake my spoons.
Thats very cool to hear, spoons and cake is a great combo! :) ~Peace~
This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time! Just finished a spoon yesterday and I was wondering "hmm... How do people bake or carbonize their spoons?"
Thats awesome to hear Joel and do let me know how you get on with trying the technique yourself ~Peace~
Thank you for sharing the idea of baking wooden spoons. I love carving spoons and here in Hawaii I primarily carve mango li-chi and breadfruit. Baking the li-chi gave the spoons a beautiful look .
Thats awesome to hear Erin, i've never carved with those woods so is always great to learn something new ~Peace~
Thank you for sharing your skills with us 😊
Sincerely appreciate your kind words thank you ~Peace~
If you wanted to darken only parts of the spoon, would oiling those parts only then baking work? Thanks
Technically it would work yes ~Peace~
does baking them make them stronger or last longer?
Not really Keith, mostly a decorative thing in specific relation to small items such as spoons ~Peace~
Hi Deborah :) Thanks for this video ! I was wondering what type of cloth you use to polish your spoons ?
Hi Jessica thank you for your kind words and Deborah uses a standard cotton cloth to do that ~Peace~
Great video. Not a lot of info out there right now on this.
Indeed there isn't hence I was so eager to film a video on this. Many thanks for watching and for the kind words thank you ~Peace~
Thanks Deborah. Just stone burnished a hard dry oak spoon with a quartz ball that I sharpen with too. It can proof the grain as well it seems, as I found a few firm whiskers still standing that I scraped down. What about the scraping stroke? I used to consider it my final move on the finest, but now back and forth between the stone and the scrape is even finer. Peace Out.
Hi Tim, indeed there are many objects you can use as a burnisher and i've seen people get very creative when it comes to that. Sincerely appreciate you watching and for the kind words ~Peace~
Thank you Zed, thank you Deborah , excellent show👍👍🤠🤠🎯🎯
As always you are very kind my friend thank you ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors have a very blessed day Zed!!!
What lovely spoons, and what lovely creative hands. I hope one day both my spoons and my hands look like yours. Thank you for sharing your craft,
Sincerely appreciate your comment and for watching ~Peace~
I've found that baking wood, at least birch, makes it shrink quite a lot across the grain/fibers. It's been quite noticeable on on things that you've made to be totally circular which gets a slightly oval shape but also on spoons. Something to keep in mind.
Appreciate your insights Ronnie and for watching ~Peace~
Do you burnish the spoon before baking?
Hi Katie, yes it's better to burnish before baking ~Peace~
Can anyone speak to the polymerization of the walnut oil at the elevated temperature? Is this a good method of "sealing" a spoon in a quicker way than letting the sun do it over weeks?
Both have their pros and cons, heating the spoon using this method is mainly for the colourisation of the wood itself ~Peace~
I'm with Deborah! Walnut oil is my favorite oil for utensils, cutting boards, toys, etc.
I second this. I've tried them all and walnut is just so beautiful to use and the end result is outstanding every time.
It's definitely a popular choice! ~Peace~
Szuper kanalak🤩👌👌👍👍👏👏💐perfekt
Köszönjük a figyelmet ~Peace~
Love her work
Do you think bowls could be baked successfully using her methods?
Thank you kindly John, indeed yes you can use this technique on most woodenware ~Peace~
Very cool, I have really enjoyed these videos with Deborah! Nice to learn from such a skilled artist who just keeps things simple.
I couldn't agree more and many thanks for the kind words! ~Peace~
This was excellent to watch and take notes from! Thanks Deborah and Zed!!
Thank you for the kind words and for watching! ~Peace~
The artist, lady. I like her accent too. Does she baking kuksa too?
Thats a good question, unless i'm mistaken don't think she has yet! ~Peace~
Getting baked with Deborah...and her spoons!!!😉✌🏽
Ha! :)) ~Peace~
Can I also do my kuksa in the oven? Thanks👍🏼🍀
You can yes but you have to be extra careful regarding temeprature and length of time ~Peace~
I reach best results on 150 degrece (without fan) celsius for near 1,5 hours.
Appreciate you sharing your findings Peco ~Peace~
1/2 Hour at 180-200 C (356-392 F, Gas Mark V-VI)
Thanks for watching ~Peace~
Thank you for in depth video about spoon burnishing

Indeed she does and many thanks for your kind words ~Peace~
The spoon baking is an exciting new step. What kind of oil is being used ?
Walnut oil

Do you spoon carve your self zed?
Hi Wayne, I do yes, although I typically don't post anything about it as I treat as 'me' time away from social media. That being said I will at some point do a video on it ~Peace~
