Zed Outdoors what does he use for a spoon knife and contact information so I can get one

@pauladamson9191 6 жыл бұрын

I use one made by Bo Helgesson. Its pretty hard to get hold of now but the next best thing is an xl scorp by Lee stoffer - covert-craft.myshopify.com/ as its a left and right hander in one which is brilliant for spoons, and even better for shrink pots and finishing Kuksa. Also Robin wood makes a similar shape via his company wood-tools.co.uk/

Any car boot sale. When you buy a gransfors, you are paying someone to sharpen good bevels and to a fine finish.

Another fine video and another excellent way to save this knowledge for future generations. Well done! I also love the questions you ask Zed. I find my self thinking them up and you asking them a short moment later. Very intuitive. Keep up the good work! Peace from Texas!

What a great video! I think I'll give it a go, even got some willow to try on, also the big hook thingy does not look too hard to make in the forge. Many Thanks to you Paul, and Zed.
