How to Make an Axe Block for Spoon Carving

Building up the infrastructure for my woodland workshop, and today we look at how to build an axe block for spoon carving.
This is about as small as I would go for a standing chopping block, and as in the woods kept it looking traditional. If looks were not important you could also go with machined wooden legs which you would then bolt on with coach screws for even more stability, but it just wouldn`t look right out in the woods.
If you find this interesting, make sure to subscribe and check out my other video`s, just getting going with this woodland workshop series, but plenty of other stuff to grab your interest.
Will still be doing lots of camping, fires and tarp origami, so don`t be alarmed if wood carving and axe work is not up your alley, I shall do my best to keep a variety of content rolling in around the general "bushcraft" theme.
