Thank you, Mr. Spoons; Nice video, could check out the Harbor Freight hatchet & let us know what you think. I have one, it took a bit of work but it chops fine. I just don't know how to see if it will carve. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

Hey there! I mean, the best way to see if it carves is to try and carve with it! I would guess that this axe and the HF are probably quite similar, so I would say the same process could be implemented 🙂

A small level change...ie a notch, drop half the cutting platform by 1/2", or even a nailed on strip of wood helps keep the stick being carved from moving.

hey Andy. A question: I noticed during knife work you were able to cut material with the same ease when going either up or down the handle. When I try to do the same, there's one direction (upwards to the handle) in which my knifes always seem to get caught up in long fibers and they seem to split out and damage the smooth cuts I had previously made. Is this a sign of dull knifes (they surely don't feel like it 🥲) or simply some wood types being more forgiving?
@andyspoons22 күн бұрын
Depends on the direction of the grain! So I am going "downhill" both directions, but it is towards the bowl on the top, and away on the bottom. I'll have to post a grain direction video when I get the chance!

I have never heard of any reason why you couldn't use Black Walnut for spoons. If in doubt, google toxicology on specific species 👌
