Spoon carving Part 1 starting the bowl

Here I begin carving the spoon this is just the rough carving later on I will make clean cuts and generally clean the spoon up as I work along.

!-Always use safety gear, common sense, and be sure your concentrating on what your doing. If you feel unsafe or unsure about doing something, stop, find someone who has done it before to help you or find another way to do it.

That would be Birch, Thanks for all the comments everyone. This fall when I am not to busy I really want to finish this series.

Well, another success!!I found it very interesting how you hold the knife and how your thumbs work.I have done very little work with a knife but am going to start as soon as I get the hook knife you suggested.

[CarverFromNoWhere]

I am planning a video on grips that I use and traditional grips used. I take it you've ordered a hook knife from Del Stubbs, you will be very pleased with it I am sure.

Yes it's from Del Stubbs, I am on a limited income but plan on getting more knives as finances allow, liked the look of all of them.Looking forward to the rest of your videos, good camera angles too.

I too am slowly gathering more of his knives, I sold off some of my old ones just to buy more of his. My brother does the filming and I told him to film it so it looks as close to looking at your own hands as he could get.

Forget last comment. I saw your other videos and they're knives made by Del Stubbs. Thanks again for the impressive tutorials.

[Kerouac2k1]

[markdotnet]

You mentioned that you freeze the wood. What's the purpose in that? I'm a newbie and your videos are really inspiring!
