A video as much about amazing skill and well practiced muscle memory as spoons. Nice work

So cool man. Love the style here, I say keep em coming!

Thanks!

I've known about deliberate practice before, but I always like to see different ways it's applied, since it's better the more specific the task being practiced. Here, axing a blank. Another could be a specific knife stroke, or using fewer strokes to carve a specific spoon bowl. Very neat. Also, still odd to see you without a beard, but I also recently shaved mine, so maybe I'm still thinking I look odd!

People do find it shocking to discover that I have a chin.

Deliberate practice vs practice by mindless repetition. Interesting to keep in mind. Same with other kinds of woodworking, like handcut dovetails. Or skiing. Thanks.

For sure! Deliberate practice will help with any skill you want to improve.

You’re a lot braver with your chopping close to the line than I am for sure. I may try this in the future.

First make sure everything squishy is out of the way, then be okay with completely ruining your spoon blank. That's about it really.

don't worry, it's already on its way back!

I'm interested in what the time difference was for you when counting the cuts as apposed to not counting? That might determine which type is more profitable at the moment. However I do believe if you are able to make a spoon with less cuts over time, counting the cuts may prove profitable once you skills are sharpened.

Great exercise! Being a potter first then taking up spoon carving I could feel when I was making (still) way to many cuts at all stages of the spoon. My potties g did not really blossom till I started doing "production" and sets. Now I am trying to set goals and produce 5 spoons from the same template at a time. For me, learning is all about reproduction. Great post, thanks. @the_potter_stone < Instagram

Production runs are a great deliberate practice exercise. Doing six identical spoons is on my list of video projects.
