One of the most clear demonstrations of the bowl hollowing with hook knife that I’ve seen. Great work! Thank you!!

Not sure if anyone else noticed the Ross from Friends ‘Pivot’ reference. Maybe it wasn’t intentional but it amused me anyway. Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

This was really helpful!

Very nice video, THANK YOU! BTW, you may want to use a Swedish lap vise. It is pretty simple & maybe safer than holding your work. All you need is a board, a way to carve/cut/drill some holes thru it & some cord, rope, or strap. Make holes in the board, some people use 2 & turn the board, run the cord thru the holes, make a loop & put your foot in it. Adjust the loop so w/ the board on your lap you use your foot to tighten the loop on your work & your foot hods it tight. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

Very helpful, would love to see how you made the cover for the blade also. Cheers

Excellent demonstration. Thanks.

Hi Owen - new spooncarver here. That's exactly the hook knife i've got so this demo was great. I'm struggling with hand strength a bit but i'm sure my hands will get stronger. It's a really addictive thing, this. I'd say the hook knife is possibly the most hazardous - it's the only one that's cut me so far. Terrific video - thanks!

Stay sharp, stay positive. Love that. Thanks, Owen.

Great content as usual 👍 I struggle getting the top flat haha

Hello! I have the more 162 with Sharp Edge on both sides. And i always use pucjcuts, never the pullcuts. Im right handed.. it feels more natural to push for me. So i have been thinking om buying singelbladed 164 so i can get my finger at the spine for Harder cuts. But i see that i will have to buy the lefthanded to get the blade on the «right» side for me. Is this wrong? Should you always use the pullcuts? Any advantadges im missing?

Nice one. Thanks 👍

Honestly, I just find myself quoting whenever it pops in my head

Is Wood Tools Robin Wood's company?

Thanks for sharing your technique 👍 I think the second and third technique could work very well with a twca cam Have you ever used a twca cam with a strap I wonder if it is easier or harder to use with one. And if you ever (PLEASE 🙏😉) make a twca cam video maybe you could include the strap technique? Or do you know a good video I could not find any. Have a nice day 🖖

Could you do an actual bowl with this

Yes absolutely though it would take a while and is probably not the best tool for that job. A gouge would be much better for carving a bowl
