The Art of Spoon Carving: Real Time Axe Work Techniques.

Having a mooch around near the debris shelter looking for a piece of wood to practice the art of spoon carving on, came across this piece of spalted Ash to try out some real time axe work techniques on.
Am always curious to see what`s inside a log, so split it apart and took a peek, a little poke with the axe to strip the bark off, then thought I ought to be filming this! ACTION! What you see is a real time take of how I went about turning this piece of Ash into a spoon blank, ready for attack with knives. I have taken liberties with the editing, to try to make it more interesting for you, changing angles, zooming in or panning ect, but the time line is pretty accurate, in fact I am slowed down by the filming and taking time to explain what I am doing, and more importantly why I am doing it that way.
I have learnt these skills by watching other spoon carvers, lots of practice and developing my own interpretation of the process. hope you find it useful, and please subscribe to not miss more content like this. Thanks for watching.
