In this video I am carving out a wooden spoon from European Aspen in the woods of Sweden.
I am using some fine Gränsfors Bruks axes to chop off the most of the wood to form the spoon/ladle. Then using some mora knifes for the fine work.
Tools used in this video:
Gränsfors Bruks small forest axe
Gränsfors Bruks mini hatchet
morakniv 120
Mora Classic No1, carbon
Mora 164 Hook knife
Pencil

Hi Erik This may sound like a daft (that is a Scottish word which means "silly"! ) question, but do you still make them, and do you sell them? Much more beautiful than the machine made ones, and I would certainly be interested in buying one.

I'm a 73 year old great grandma in America and I can't tell you how much I am enjoying your videos. I'm amazed at your skill. Was wondering what the digging under your cabin would create. I don't want your videos to ever end. Keep it up Erik👍

Lovely spoon! I've watched all your videos in the last couple of weeks. I skipped this one and now appreciate the level of skill you had before tackling the cabin. The way you make videos encourages mindfulness practice. I was washing dishes last night, after watching the latest cabin video. There was pleasure in attending closely to what my hands were doing. Making your mindful craftsmanship available for others to slow down into shows a generosity of spirit and also optimism in your belief in the attention span of your viewers.

Those Mora Knifes are the best. No wonder, why those traditional knifes still are produced/used/loved. I just discovered your channel hand have only watched 3 videos, but I really like the way you do it. No unnessesary talking, no hectic cuts, no drama. Just chill and "If you want, you can watch what I do".

I started carving with the SFA, but have since changed to the mini hatchet for most things, especially spoons. And the Mora knives as well. And your pants...It's really nice to see someone else doing this!

For convex wooden objects as far as sanding is concerned, it is better to make a stick "in your hand" 8x6 cm nicely smooth and straight and square square.Wrap glass paper in it to sand the wood and sand it like this. Better than on your knees. Faster and easier work. Glue felt with wood glue. For luxury sanding

I am no expert in the art of spoon carving. But I work my way up to 500 grit sandpaper and soak the spoon in different oils. Then often with time I have to sandpaper it a little and oil it again. I just test my way forward and it works. Thank you.
