It may not be a large project, but creating a ladle from fully kiln-dried hardwoods like sycamore and maple differs from green, uncured wood.
Tougher to carve yes, but there is no shrinkage and no risk of cracking through drying. It is a wonderful project for learning to work with multi-directional grain and to also use gouges and such.
This is a great beginner guide for those starting with gouge work.

Since I graduated in my fourties as a cabinetmaker, I have been teaching 4 woodworking clubs after school in my local area. I got to tell you, nothing lifts ones spirits as much as seeing a young man finish a bowl they've made with their own hands. We also did a buttering knife at start to get comfortable with a knife. Ladle is clearly on the menu next.

I would love to learn how to make a butter knife and bowl! You should do tutorials here on KZfaq!

Ive watched Paul's videos as they came out since he was a new youtuber. I built my workbench just like he built his, in his backyour with children noises from the school nextdoor. Ive collected tools after seeing what he used to build his projects. Time at my bench is alway good time.

Great video. Thinking of doing something similar with pear wood from a tree that didn't survive the winter winds a couple of years ago that I've had seasoning in my shed.

Thanks Paul, excellent as always ! All the timber yards will be getting extra requests for Sycamore and maple now, particularly with figured curly grain !

Would beech be ok to use to make spoons. I have a few off cuts which are about the right size.

I listen to lots of music when I'm working or doing stuff in my hobby workshop and most of it is my favourite band ever - Mott The Hoople. According to them on their first album (1969), "you just can't live in Texas if you don't have a lot of soul". I believe you lived there for a while and I wonder if you think that's true?

Going across the bowl with that grain seems to give you better control, Paul. Yes?

@Paul.Sellers 2 ай бұрын

Yes. That is the case with some woods. You just have to feel after what feels best.

Paul, where can I get or make the 1st / original shape? Thanks

@johnnichols8553 Ай бұрын

I know Paul is all about hand tools, but I'd probably be using that humongous bandsaw nearby to be rough cutting that ladle out, just saying.

And you would not be Paul Sellers. The traditional techniques Paul teaches help people to learn about wood and tools and how they work together.

Paul, what sizes and brand of gouges do you use?

@Paul.Sellers 2 ай бұрын

I have no loyalty to brands but `i generally use a #7 sweep 38mm and a #8 25mm if needed.

@@Lyndalewinder Considering he gets hundreds of comments every video, I can't blame him for not wanting to read a computer screen for hours every day. When you have a choice between being in the workshop making shavings and responding to every YT comment, it'd be a pretty easy decision.

You may find his pair of videos called, "Cutting Boards and Spatula" useful. He recommends woods with "low porosity" so that they don't absorb a lot of food particles. I doubt pine would qualify.

@@HistoricHomePlansyea makes sense, tho my grandmother has a old growth pine cutting board for i believe 40+ years and other than some cupping its looks like if its 2 years old but heat and the woods interaction may differ the situation

How do people get their chisels(/gouges) so sharp? When I try to use mine even after sharpening like crazy it still feels like I'm trying to cut wood. But when I watch video like this it's like they cutting butter with a hot knife. Really is amazing to watch but I just can't get mine to do the same.

Look on my youtube channel here for sharpening everything.
