Thanks for posting this great film on spoon making. Jill is an excellent tutor and so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. One can learn so much from this film and I was totally engaged from start to finish GREAT! Its a pity I can only like it once!
Best video on this subject so far. You see people going crazy with their expensive equipment and in the end, their spoons look just like they came from a store.
Lovely, informative film. I'd love to meet her. I particularly liked "idiot proof". It's also nice to see a left handed person making something as there don't seem to be many on RUclips.
Nice job, dear lady ! My dear mom used to whoop me on occasion with one of those , or a paddle ball , paddle ! Only when I had one coming ! Lol Sure miss my mom , she was the best ! ❤❤
If you make quick small chops about inch and half apart all the way down length it breaks up fibers then back top to cut length at once. Makes it easier.
Where can I find one of those bowl carving scorps that Jill used, in that 2nd-to-last segment? As a fellow lefty, those golden words “ambidextrous tools” are rarely heard and most highly appreciated!
Douglas Turet I don't know about that particular one, but if you are UK based, have you looked at Ben Orford or Dave Budd, both make spoon knives, crook knives and other tools. Good luck!

If anyone is still answering questions: is she using Greenwood? And if so how do you dry the spoon without it splitting? I've heard a bunch of different answers that haven't quite made me confident on how to do it.
This looks like the branch of an oak tree to me. Although sycamore is traditionally used for much of the treen in Britain, because it has a very tight grain. Which is handy really, because apart from that it's got few other positives - it's boring as f**k as woods go, and isn't all that useful for making anything where you want the beauty of the wood to show, because it just doesn't have any beauty. It's a boring, plain, white wood - but it does make good spoons.
She’s wrong You don’t have to get rid of the centre (the pith) at all, I carve spoons down from the outer into the pith, leaving a bullseye effect or swirl in the bowl of the spoon going from white to brown or black depending on the wood..laburnum is really nice to use because of it’s dark pith..and if anything it adds strength to the spoon as it’s the centre so tighter grain.
Unless you're good with an axe, I don't recommend this method of roughing out. She's very good, don't assume in the beginning you will be as well because you won't be and you'll risk chopping a finger off or you'll get a very deep cut.
+Carve This Spoon: I purchased this saw (although I know it's from a US company). It appears to be the same saw. replacement blades can be purchased for it in different tooth patterns. Essentially, I googled 'folding woodworking saw', or 'folding carpenter's saw'.

Did you see the product placement? A bit subtle maybe
Voodoo Alpaca Still I have made up for that with a most unsubtle belt film on my channel!
Voodoo Alpaca mora knives and granfors bruks axes?
And locally made tools
@@TheVoodooalpaca interesting content but no link to her video channel ?🐺🐾

Best video on spoon carving - simple and engaging to the end!
Great presentation. Do wish I had seen this years ago. No power tools involved.
Jill, thanks for sharing your time and talents. It was great watching you. You are so good at this, you make it look easy! I cannot wait to try!
Hi Jill, I still have very good memories of the spoon carving course at walderchaine wood with Mark and you. Cheers Don.
I love this! thanks for sharing! Jill, you are awesome!!
Awesome job! Just simple, practical and beautiful!

like the old saying go's " only way to make something idiot proof is to keep it away from idiots"
Great video Jill, very informative. Regards Paul

Beautiful work and good process explaination. Thank you
I bless you with joy, peace, love and abundance in you life.
Great video Jill. What kind of saw did you use for the relief cuts?
I like the guitar spoon at 13:58.
looks like a Granfors carving hatchet, nice👍🏼😎
Its GB wildlife hatchet
great job, i learned so much, do u ever use scrappers?
very green, cut the day before
Great video, i learned from it... Does anybody know where i can get that round knife to hollow out the spoon?
?
Sorry, did you ever find out ??
It's a loop hoof knife. (Farrier supply)
It's a loop hoof knife. Find at a farrier supply shop.
Nice hand work!!
15 minutes? ,,, a day for 2 months maybe! lovely! I´ll do it and let you know!
If... I do not loose my right fingers I´ll be able to type you the news LOL
If... it is not a spoon maybe a toothpick? I´m in a good mood ;-)
Was this green wood? It looked seasoned and rather hard to cut.
Great video thanks for sharing.
Is the same technique used to produce a right-handed spoon as a left?
The bit you want to get rid of in the middle is called the Pith, fella.
Thank you for the fine tips.
Bravo!!
Barn was still in shorts at this point ,,, ❤️j
I’m going to starve before you get that spoon made. Hurry up man I’m hungry 😋
Does anybody know what she's wearing around her neck towards the end of the video?
+definenormal087 It's a carving brace to protect the chest while holding and whittling items in the draw-knife way she showed.

What is the large initial "axe" she used to split the log?
It's called a froe.
Amazing thanks for sharing
very skillfull lady
Very nice
What kind of axe is she using, what company?
Gransfors Bruks, I think this one: www.gransforsbruk.com/en/product/gransfors-small-carving-hatchet/
If anyone is still answering questions: is she using Greenwood? And if so how do you dry the spoon without it splitting? I've heard a bunch of different answers that haven't quite made me confident on how to do it.
@trexwithashotgun boil it in salted water .. salt draws the moisture safely, followed with oil
What is the round knife called and where can I get one?
It's a scorp by a guy called lee stoffer. You might get one on his website covertcraft.com
What type of wood was used?
looks like some kind of pine
This looks like the branch of an oak tree to me.

Hi Jill
Amazing demo and beautiful spoons. I’ve just started and wondered if you use sandpaper for the final finish and do you oil them?
Thanks
@@timbirch4999 Sycamore also has the advantage of being easy to work with I find.
Does Jill have a RUclips channel?
Always angle the piece of wood when cutting the axe should always be cutting straight down!!

Please do more spoon video's
I heard Harry Rogers
Very good! He was there.

hard to believe that she still has all of her fingers
Anybody know the handsaw she has?
suggest you ask Jill ! m.facebook.com/treedomwoods
I think it was from axminster tools
+Carve This Spoon Looks like a Silky.
It was not a silky, but something similar (and much cheaper)

HERM ? BIRD ?
Until I came to RUclips, I never realized how many people had no spoons.
That poor woman appears to be lost. Has she ever used those tools before?
Rude.
silly
Did she teach the indians how to do this. Get a bandsaw
