Awesome job, I definately have to try this on my next outing in the forest. Once I got it home, I would probably sand it a bit for a smoother appearance and then reburn it. What (If any) do you treat the spoon with once it's done?...
great vid! i thought i kept hearing a piano version of the super mario bros. 2 main world theme while you were using the coals to burn the cavity of the spoon. i had to double take a few times.
I've done this on a canoe trip when my plastic spoon broke. Took a little longer than yours, maybe it was harder wood. What blade you using there? Cheers
@nickfish03 The knife I used in this video was the Bark River Bravo-1, and yes, it did go rather quickly since it was done with a soft wood - pine. Due to some rusting problems with the carbon steel, I'll be trying out the Fallkniven F1 next season. Bark River makes great knives but it seems I just can't beat the rain lately and I don't want to worry about always keeping my knife dry, especially with canoe camping.
SilverFox in his spoon video leaves a handle on the other side of the "bowl" part so you have a place to hold the work piece until you have the handle crafted the way you like, then he just trims off the extra handle. just a thought!
Very informative video. Looks like a good project when you're off in the wild looking for something to occupy your time. Are there woods you should not use for eating utensils?
What i do sometimes is basically use the same split piece of wood and a particularly somewhat egg shaped stone placed on the outer edge of the camp fire .
The piece of wood is placed it the proper position and then a larger heavier rock is placed on top of the piece of wood.
The egg shaped stone acts like a soldering iron and very slowly burns the concave hole of the spoon.
Very interesting, informative, and unique video. A whole better than watching the burn times for alcohol pop can stoves that most of the camping videos seems to post. A good project for the night time sitting around the camp fire. I'm going to try it the next time out. Thanks

do you use these for cooking at home? I was thinking of making one for my kitchen. What wood do you recommend?

You can also use a kind of bow drill to make a spoon.

Interesting technique. I like the idea.
