- This week we welcome special guest Andy from Andy Spoons.
Andy demonstrates how to carve a spoon from start to finish from a log of Cherry.
Starting with some axe work and moving on to the more intricate details with carving knives.
A Green woodworker and spoon carver based in the Blue Mountains, Andy uses traditional hand tools to craft beautiful, functional kitchenware from green wood.
All of the material used is locally sourced in the Blue Mountains, Australia.

Thanks for having me!
Our pleasure!
You know Andy, part of me hates that CG wall behind you. BUT I also think it makes a great background to show off a detail on the spoon. But not that colour - something that contrasts with the spoon - blue or pink. It actually makes for a very clear uncluttered picture...
you make it look so easy it takes me quite a while to do one basic spoon.. I'm working on my 3rd spoon , from a piece of oak
Good luck! Andy is a Pro for sure
Love the piano music...
Great video thanks Andy !

Looks gr8 Andy thanks for showing ,im hoping to get into spoons shortly so ive liked and subd you , and will follow your lead thanks .Greetings from wales UK .
Thanks for the sub 😊
If there’s one thing I learned from prison its that if you can only have one piece of cutlery a spoon is the best choice.
Noted.
Any tips on preventing splitting after working green wood?
Hey Steve! If you are worried about splitting due to the work drying to quickly, a good methos of slowing things down can be wrapping your work in cloth, or burying it in dry woodchips. This basically allows the moisture to slowly dissipate into the other material, rather than evaporating too quickly.
There is also an argument to be made that those splits were already there in the wood before you started, or earlier on in the heavier work. It's always good to keep a close eye on the grain as it dries, any dark lines can often be micro splits that only get worse as the work dries.
I hope that helps!
Putting it in a trash bag helps tie the end up and let it set its worked for me
What do you call the leather protective piece you use when bracing the spoon against your chest to carve?
Hey there! So that piece is commonly called a "bodgers bib", originally used by chair makers (bodgers) for long pull cuts
