Hi you two. Hope Pistol is doing good. Really love the spoons. Take care of yourself. Carolyn from Canada and give little pistol a hug for us. Enjoy...
Spoons and books! It's beginning to feel like a Vagabond Empire. And you're going to leave us hanging for a whole week regarding this announcement? I'll be on pins and needles all week. LOL Great video guys. Carve On... Oops, I mean Carey On!
Thank you so much for sharing this video and you both deed it well. Your spoon carving inspired me to continue in my learning journey in carving, blessings to both of you from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Dave, love the apron. Very earthy. Sorry to see the boo boo, but "with BEAUTY comes pain". Nice to hear that the oil doesn't need to be reapplied, it was the only question I had.
Loved watching this. I was on St George Island State Park with barely a signal and darn if I didn’t forget you were having a sale. I’ll have to catch you next time. I’m retired and camp in my Solis as much as I can with my 2 dogs. Love wood love your videos and can’t wait to purchase a spoon next time
I’ve watched this kind of video before and thought, that looks pretty easy. Then I tried it. It ain’t easy! I’ll stick to buying from you. If I’m lucky enough to get one.👍🏻
Hi guys😃, WOW Dave, very impressive. I missed the last sale but I have alarms set for this one. 😁 Shouldn't you be wearing one one those leather thumb glove? I was nerve wracked watching you carve towards your thumb with that extremely sharp knife 😲😲 Irene and Pistol🤗🤗🤗 Bravo on your story book. I've shown my granddaughter your videos before and told her about the book, then showed her you and Pistol signing a book and she said "maybe you'll get that one?". The book arrives and I wait for her next visit to open the package. When she opens the cover to see the signature she squeals "you got it, you got". 🤣. I couldnt tell her it was one of many.....she the proceeded to read the story aloud. You get 5 stars for sure. We look forward to reading future adventurous stories of Pistol, The Brave Green Bean Queen. Times a ticin', wish me luck lol. Have a nice day and Carey on😃
Oh what a wonderful story about your granddaughter! I love that you guys love it! Many more adventures to come! Dave used to scare me if I watched him carve too closely but I know now he’s got some good techniques down and knows more than I do. 🤣 So glad you were able to get in and get something. Your collection is growing! 💕🥳
Hi friends! You are really creative and clever people! I am really impressed by the woodcarving skills. Hope the sales of books and other products go like hot white bread (Norwegian proverb) And as always nice to see all three.
@@CareyOnVagabond I know! I am very grateful and often use it on trips. Maybe it will be worth a lot one day when DC carvings become world famous. But will never sell it.
I carve green wood which makes it a big challenge. I’m always looking for downed trees. I have also been blessed with friends around the country who have land and wood to give me. And I have a big freezer in the van to store pieces to keep them green when I get some;)
Thanks. Occasionally they do. Can’t leave them too thick or thin. Also some wood splits more than others. Sometimes putting them in a paper bag with the shavings will help dry slow which really helps.
When I first started I cut myself quite a bit. Nothing major requiring stitches but I did superglue quite a few shut;) Then as you learn proper technique and don’t take shortcuts it happens rarely. Knock on a wooden spoon I haven’t cut myself in a long time😉😁
plan on grabbing one. wow what a process. How many hours did the spoon take to finish? I'm sure you have covered in a previous video but what kind of axe and knife do you use?
Thanks. I’ve never really timed it. I’m always working on different spoons at different parts of the process. A couple hours I guess. That doesn’t include finding the wood, sharpening tools, etc. I currently use a carving axe handforged in the Ukraine. I have some of the tools I use on the products page of our website, careyonvagabond.com.
Thanks. It’s a burnishing tool. Anything hard and smooth will work. When you rub the wood with it it closes the grain and polishes it. Makes for a very smooth finish without sanding.
Okay I'm going to start. Chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop ouch Band-Aid please scrape scrape scrape scrape scrape scrape scrape scrape scrape scrape scrape scrapes ouch Band-Aid please carve carve carve carve carve carve ouch another band-aid please done. Scone please.

Thank you Arsham.☺️You’re too kind😁
Dave, love the apron. Very earthy. Sorry to see the boo boo, but "with BEAUTY comes pain". Nice to hear that the oil doesn't need to be reapplied, it was the only question I had.
The boo boo was actually from working on something in the van. 😂
Wow very cool… I hate to say it but $30 to $40 is very cheap….thank you for sharing… a true labor of love.
Thank you. It is a great hobby for someone with no room for power tools;) I call it active meditation.😁
Fabulous work! Missed out on the sale! 😪
Thanks. Sorry you missed out. I’ll have more! What type of spoon are you wanting?
@@CareyOnVagabond, one of the cooking/stirring spoons.
@@lizchilders4154 👍
Awesome carving! Simple tools used very skillfully.
Thank you very much!
❤Ellerinize sağlık çok güzel
Wow that was amazing watching Dave free that spoon from a chunk of green wood.
Thanks! You never know what’s inside a piece of wood.😉😁
What an incredibly talented Craftsman you are Sir! Amazing to watch and learn, Thank you.
Thank you very much!

good job Dave & Irene, my spoon is still going good and thanks for the signed book the green bean Queen .... Happy Trails
Thanks!
I’ve watched this kind of video before and thought, that looks pretty easy. Then I tried it. It ain’t easy! I’ll stick to buying from you. If I’m lucky enough to get one.👍🏻
He does make it look so easy!! Same for me though, there’s no way I could do it…especially without losing a finger or two!
That was great! Beautiful!
Thanks:)

Thanks Victor!
Thank you, you are an inspiration.
Thank you ☺️
What a lost Art!! Amazing work Dave!! Just bought one of the last Cherry Wood Eating Spoons. Can't wait until it arrives.
Thank you! Eating spoons are such a challenge to carve. Would love to hear your feedback on it after you use it!
Thanks again. I shot my first turkey today...
Surprised the hell out of the folks in the frozen meat department.
Anyway happy Thanksgiving.
😂 Happy thanksgiving!

Thanks Morten. One of the very first spoons Dave ever carved is in Norway 😉

@@mortenthenorwegian2875 😂😂😂
Beautiful work, Dave. How do you source your wood? Firewood, buy or collect fallen stuff?
I carve green wood which makes it a big challenge. I’m always looking for downed trees. I have also been blessed with friends around the country who have land and wood to give me. And I have a big freezer in the van to store pieces to keep them green when I get some;)
I've always considered myself pretty good with an axe but you are seriously good! Tell me , do the spoons ever split whilst drying?
Thanks. Occasionally they do. Can’t leave them too thick or thin. Also some wood splits more than others. Sometimes putting them in a paper bag with the shavings will help dry slow which really helps.
Dave steady as you are, have you ever had a oops cut?
When I first started I cut myself quite a bit. Nothing major requiring stitches but I did superglue quite a few shut;) Then as you learn proper technique and don’t take shortcuts it happens rarely. Knock on a wooden spoon I haven’t cut myself in a long time😉😁

Amazing work.
Can i ask you, what is that black thing witch you use before oil? Thanks
Thanks. It’s a burnishing tool. Anything hard and smooth will work. When you rub the wood with it it closes the grain and polishes it. Makes for a very smooth finish without sanding.
@@CareyOnVagabond thanks so much
