  @mikenorris67695 күн бұрын

  Yes, great video, could you tell the approx size of your billet, width, thickness and length, also, it appears from your comments that it is worth investing in good quality carving axe, its just that in my country they are extremely expensive so I'm making do with one I put together myself, I can see that the thinner blade is an important factor, would you mind sharing which one your axe is, thankyou..

  Juststarted working on building my spoon mule and you have given me some great ideas to think about. It's a great way to sharpen your drawkife safely.

  I have the double bevel, and got a right hand bevel, but that is not good. It has hammer marks in the actual bevel. And to remove it would take to much metal away. They are not always good. Two have gone back both very poor.

  why did he said that wood treated with polimerised oil turn into "food safe plastic" when there is no plastic involved? 7:00

• 
  @HuronSpoonCo2 ай бұрын

  It’s obviously not plastic in a literal sense. Actual plastic is made from crude oil- which is why I made the reference that a polymerizing oil turns into something that feels like plastic.

  Question for you sir.i have been carving black walnut spoons and have had people tell me you can't eat or cook with them because of the chemical make up.should I keep carving them or change wood.thank you.

• 
  @HuronSpoonCo2 ай бұрын

  Hello! There is absolutely nothing wrong with Black Walnut for food contact nor is there one for eating directly from it. The likelihood of an allergic reaction is almost zero since people with “tree nut allergies” are allergic the protein in the nut itself- not the wood. Hope this helps!

  I’m sanding mine, then oiling and then burnishing, but that’s cause I haven’t got your skill yet 😂

• 
  @HuronSpoonCo4 ай бұрын

  Just a heads up- sanding will almost always leave a fuzzy finish. Burnishing will certainly compress the fibers and give a silkier feel, but once the spoon is moist again the fibers will undoubtedly raise up again.

• 
  @robg5214 ай бұрын

  @@HuronSpoonCo Thanks Up until now I’ve been struggling with my skill level with the knife for the final finishing, and have been using the sanding as a method to get the final shape, Recently I’ve managed to do a few with only the knife to almost the exact final shape, but then sanded them to remove the flat spots and carving marks. Practice makes perfect as they say. 😁

  Look, instead of burnishing, can you not use abrasive polish.

•

  Abrading wood just creates torn fibers, which is not conducive to a good finish. Plus, if there is a method that’s inexpensive, quick, and easy- why wouldn’t I use it?

  The transition between the handle and the bowl gets me every time as does the bowl edge on one side or the other it will get real thin and be kinda flat or straight up and down and it loses the rounded look. The other thing is I carve a hole in the bottom of the bowl. Thanks for the video on the keel.

• 
  @HuronSpoonCo5 ай бұрын

  I think we all struggle with those things until we gain enough experience. I carved hundreds of spoons before I produced one that I really liked and now that I’ve carved over 1,000 I still find something I don’t like about every single one. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Spoon carving has a steep learning curve.

  Great work! I am wondering, do you lay the sharpening sticks totally flat to the blade or with a little bit angle if it’s one sided bevel?

• 
  @HuronSpoonCo5 ай бұрын

  Good question! I lay them completely flat and make three motions all at once: 1- twisting between my fingers and my thumb through each pass 2-moving all the way from handle to tip (and in some cases all the way from tip to handle) 3-as I make each pass, the sharpening sticks move slightly from spine to cutting edge as well. If you were to just move the stick straight up and down the blade, it would cut the paper. This also helps the burr raise.

  Can I ask something? I have a beautiful heavy Ochsenkopf vintage cleaver. It weighs 600gms. Can I use it for spoon carving in place of an axe?

• 
  @HuronSpoonCo6 ай бұрын

  The weight doesn’t sound like it would be a problem but the ergonomics and geometry could be. It would also need a proper scandi grind, which would likely be too thin since cleavers are much thinner than axe heads.

  I read that metal shapers used to soak their body hammers in antifreeze to keep the heads tight on the wooden handles. Maybe reintroducing moisture to the wood handle would have been enough.

• 
  @HuronSpoonCo8 ай бұрын

  I’ve experimented over the years with soaking axe and Froe handles in Linseed Oil with the thought that reintroducing moisture would cause the wood to swell as it filled with oil. After several attempts of this, I’ve found that only the porous rings will really soak it up, while the rest do not. The science of this makes sense in that dead wood cells shrink as they lose moisture and no longer have the capacity to hold any moisture. Sadly, handle replacement is the best course of action for loose handles when you can’t wedge them or replace existing wedges.
