Thanks a lot Zed and Will. Zed, your amazing videos inspired me to get in to Spoon carving. I watched pretty much all the videos you did on spoon carving over the past few weeks. But this one is the one I find best to follow step by step. Today I carved my first spoon today and started the second one. I followed Wills carving step by step and paused after every step to do my own carving. It was great fun and enormously helpful. Thanks guys!! Greetings from Germany

Thank you so much Will and Zed for sharing this video. I learned a lot, and it is a treasure to me in my journey to spoon carving. Blessings.

I really enjoyed this video. I think Will and Deborah are two of my favorite spoon carvers. Great explanation.

I thought "Nearly two hours? this is going to be too slow". It's **marvellous**. All the explanations I needed. It's like sitting with a really good teacher. The single most important video I've ever seen on spoon carving. Thank you Zed, thank you Will. I've spent an entire day making firewood, but now I understand how addictive it is working with the axe. Maybe tomorrow I'll actually manage to make something that won't go in the woodburning stove :-)

Great video totally worth the hour and a half

Unhurried from the blank to the finishing cut. Inspirational. Perfect. Thanks chaps.

Great tutorial. Thanks for showing us. Take care.

Terrific, not to miss discussion on the carving process. Thoughts verbalized ... much appreciated from a beginner spoon carver. pt in Upstate NY

By far the best spoon carving video I have seen as a begginer ! Thank you !

Another marathon but worth every minute. He certainly explains what he is doing very clearly and simply. Good job.

Outstanding spoon carving instructional video; Will’s explanation of the whys and hows of his method is invaluable. Of the dozens upon dozens of spoon videos I’ve watched, none has come close to this level of detail. Thank you for this Zed Outdoors!

An hour and 45 minutes video on spoon carving...hell yeah!

Hi. I am an amateur carver. Every single explanation that Will gave us was great. I appreciate Will’s sincere way of “talk” to a piece of wood. When he sees a challenge in the wood grain, I also feels it while watching. At the moment, naturally my eyes get absorbed to his hands. Craftsmanship!

Really good useful & interesting video chaps. Thanks very muchly

Hugely helpful! Great video.

Wow! Loved meeting Will. Both of you are so talented and come across as real gentleman. Thanks for this great in depth focus on how Will creates a spoon. I learned a lot. Such a generous and kind spirit you have Will. Looking forward to applying your teaching!

Zed, you have made a lot of great spoon carving instructional videos and I am sure that many carvers owe you a lot for inspiration and teaching! For years the spoon carving vid with Adam Hawker was my absolute favorite. Also Aaron Garrett and you did an amazing job, but since I first time watched this one with Will it has become my new favourite and the one I suggest new carvers to watch and learn from. Thanks a lot for all you brilliant videos Zed. I believe we are many gratefull carvers out there. THANKS!!

Thanks for the video.

Keep finding these little gems of channels on you KZfaq lately

Thank you for the much improved sound quality. I can hear every word he is saying. Most enjoyable informative video.

thank you very much for the video.

Will, you have a strong teaching gift, as well as bags of practical carving skills!

Food for the soul is spoon carving 👌👍 lovely video seems a very nice chap very talented 🤙

amazing, as allways, Zed. God bless you Zed. Stay well.

Great informative video. Thanks for the great variety of carvers, I learn something from each. I also appreciate you working with each person to post a template of their project. One thing I noticed, and it would be more helpful, is that not everyone puts a side profile. So far I’ve only seen one from Andreea Grad. Since I’m just learning and am not very creative yet, the side profile is extremely helpful. Thank you and keep up the great videos. Im looking forward to seeing your future video on chopping blocks

Thank You Zed! This man is a real teacher.

Thank you. Very talented spoonman indeed. All the best to both of you from Warsaw.

Excellent presentation by you both! Already in my carving favorites, it's a keeper!!!

This is fantastic! Thanks to the both of you! Well done!

Thanks a lot for the time you took to clarify how we can come a step closer to understanding & 'mastery' of this crafts techniques.

Excellent again Zed & Will you did a great job teaching your process!

Very good video.

Blessings to Will and Zed, thank you for sharing this information, your knowledge, your time, and your craft. Will, you make beautiful work, Zed, you make beautiful videos. Zed, I know you've slowed down a bit, as of late, but I hope you pick up the ol' axe (camera) again! I left the bushcraft space for a year or two, hoping to store up a fat back catalog of work from my favorite bushcraft vid makers. I just devour all y'alls vids, but Zed, your vids, in particular, are always are humorous, informative, really informative in fact, they're SUPER informative, I don't mind the length at all, in fact, that is their strength, that is what I find so useful about your vids. The craftspeople that you feature really have the opportunity to share their techniques due to your long format, and that is superduper awesome! Really wish I could get my hands on a Westerman spoon knife, or whatever you call it. I know it'd be too dear for an old, decrepit geezer like me, but watching Will glide through that wood like it was butter is entrancing, really wish I could know that pleasure! As always, I've rambled on, my apologies! But blessings to Zed and his crew, you guys are great, great people, great craftspeople, greatly hilarious, greatly informative, and embody such a blast of posivibes, I can't express my gratitude enough. Zed, stay productive! Damn the imaginary bugs, and don't get that wax, don't trade your future health, future soul, for the immediate ability to travel, work, and pursuit of your ambitions. You must find alternate means of pursuing your ends, as they will predicate that ability upon the taking off the wax. Most of the bushcraft community has been preparing for what we are heading into now, they've all been honing their primitive skills for a reason. We are experiencing that reason now. Please give a thought to what exactly, or who, exactly, called you out of the general population (who are slated for total control, sterilization, and at worst, slaughter). Resist at all costs, even at the cost of your lives! It is foolishness to hold on to this terrible life (even as great as it can be, at times, aka finding a beautiful mate, creating a family, having and raising children) at the expense of your eternal life, which is so much more than this vapid, ephemeral, supposedly material world. What is the value of the ratio of 6 to infinity? The 6 approaches 0, nothingness, valuelessness, and infinity, well, it approaches the infinite, the greatest value. So, value the infinite as the most precious, and let the minuscule pass away, or at least let the minuscule, this life, retain its appropriate value, as a place and time where we can come to a knowledge of the truth, know the source of that truth, and behave in an appropriate, loving way, even unto our death, or conclusion of this temporary, limited, pause in our greater existence. And on and on, I go. Apologies, this stuff is for real, and with eternal consequences!

I've enjoyed every video you've made, Zed, & this is no exception. Thanks to both of you!

Great video. Thank you Will and Zed.

invaluable teachings, thank you both

That was very useful. What a sensible approach , and unfussy. Will , you are an inspiration. Anothers great video Zed.

Very outstanding woodworking carving process made simple, Wills.

Well done, both the spoon and the video.

Brillant instruction - Thanks Will and Zed!

Great tutorial as ever Zed, thanks to you both 👍🏼

beautiful work Will. Thanks for sharing this we us all brother Zed.

After two hours of this I think the Chinese are very smart... You're true craftsman. Great video. Super informative. Thanks.

Excellent work, both on the spoon and on the video. Thanks!

Excellent instruction Will. Thank you! Zed, your great camera work made it very helpful to see exactly what Will was doing.

Awesome video as usual Zed. Will comes across as a lovely guy, as well as a skilled craftsman.. thanks guys

thank you for the template and the humor - "...stand on one leg."

Thanks Zed and will for this amazing tutorials with plenty of solving problems for amateurs like us! Really well explained Will, thank you for opening your knowledge and experience to us. Thanks Zed for your amazing spoon videos. Hope to go back one day to Bristol, amazing city, and visit your shop, that is sure.

Another absolutely brilliant video!!!

Great job Will! Thanks!

Lovely video 👍. Thanks to both of you gents ✌

Really good stuff. I checked out his site and Will is not only a gifted carver but seems like a really nice guy. Thanks Zed for introducing us to people like Will. Have a ver Merry Christmas both of you guys. And your Families!

Thanks a billion for this. Very very very useful for me as a beginner. Cheers from France

Great video, as many have already said- one of the best i've seen telling me what I need to know with thorough explanations and reasonings. From wood block through to the carved piece, brill. The only other thing i'd have liked to see you talk about at the end is how to finish it.. how long and what environment it should be left to dry in before oiling and what oils/waxes to/not to use as not many seem to talk about this. Thanks for a great video guys *save*

What a nice video. Very informative about grain and use of tools. I wish that I was on that side of the Atlantic.

Great video 👍 It has rekindled my love of carving. Thanks

Brilliant!!!!!

Thankyou so much both of you. Wonderful and very educational, cheers :)

Thank you, great video!

Awesome video on how to carve a spoon. Have an amazing holiday, Andreas 🇸🇪

Now I've got Spoonman by Soundgarden stuck in my head! Lol. Merry Christmas Zed!!!

Very nice, thanks.

WoW great craftsmanship.... phenomenal!

Amazing resource. Thank you so much gang x

Thank you so much

This was such a relaxing and informative video, I'm yet to carve my 1st spoon but excited to get my tools soon and give it a go. Will makes it look so effortless, I'm sure it takes years of practice to make it look that simple, I'm definitely going to book in for one of wills classes once I've practiced with the tools a little as I drive up the m32 daily. Thank you Zed ✌

This is so satisfying ... i just want to do this on my own now. absolutely nicely done

well spent 1 3/4 hours! Thanks

Thanks for sharing that

learned so much superb explanation and informative interviewer thanks

Aside fro the videos that have no sound or explanation, this is an excellent tutorial. Zed, thnak you for the deep dive on this...

This is wonderful! I would love to try my hand at carving a spoon but I'm terrified of using the axe in that way for the initial part. These spoons were so nice and loved seeing the painted handles. Have not seen that before. Thanks!

A Master Class...thank you so much

Well done both of you! We just ordered a “tea leaf “ spoon from Will. The wife thinks it is awesome little gem. Best of luck and Happy New Year!

Beautiful spoons! Beautiful wood! I always avoid the pith because I've had too many shrinkage failures.

Increíble video, gracias al artesano por sus fantásticas explicaciones.

Merry Christmas ! I’m collecting tools, and eyeing the local trees

Zed, Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones Greetings from a Belgian bushcrafter

Keanu Reeves of spoon carving

There is one benefit to a blunter knife... less likelihood of cutting yourself! Great video! Watched many other spoon-carving videos, but this one is much more educational. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!

I have a different tehnic and i don't have this problem to cut myself, i'm a lefthanded and i cut by pushing with the palm using a right hand tool. Very usefull, a lot of force if needed.

I was losing my mind earlier today on the neck. Kept digging in each way and I think the spoon might be "firewood" as Will put it. Thanks for the tips!

Very informative video... I used your template very often And waiting for new template Best regards

I've watched a lot of videos and carved a lot of spoons but I learned more techniques here. Good axes work especially considering the Gransfor Bruks is a little heavy for spoon work. With regards to having a "wonky" spoon, I don't worry about that. If we wanted a perfect spoon we'd make them on machines. Our carved spoons are individual works of art. Thanks guys and thumbs up.

That was such a good video, best explanation that I have found on KZfaq. Does Will have any classes? Thank you Will and Zed.

Greate video. Thank for doing this. May I ask, what hook knife he uses?

Great video! Goes into a lot of detail. Quite educational. Q: Can anyone tell me the diameter (roughly) of the piece of wood he starts with? Since the wood is closer to the camera, it appears huge in many spoon tutorials.

Great video. Very informative. One question though, how green was that cherry wood? Thanks!

What is the best wood to carve for a complete beginner?

Great video, thank you Zed 👌 do you know what axe Will is using? Looks awesome and he controls it effortlessly 👍

Another question if I may: I looked at the templates Will so kindly gave the link to. How do I find scale with these templates? There is nothing that indicates 100% as I've seen on another Zed Outdoors spoon carving vid. EDIT: Right clicking gives option for actual size.

I enjoyed every minute. RJM

What do you do to seal the wood? Thank you.

Where can I get a spoon knife like that one?

:)

I live in Southern California, where can I buy blanks of wood to carve? I have looked on the internet and can really only find pre-cut Basswood. Really want to start carving but don't know where to find good wood. Please help! Thanks!

Does anyone else think that Will looks like Keanu Reeves?

whats the company who makes the scorp knifes?

Откуда у меня этот канал ? :)
