Hello Zed, hello Richard... I just wanted to say a big thank you for the videos. Very detailed and instructive. Your many videos have inspired me to start carving myself and I have learned a lot from them. I'm excited to see what's to come in the future. Thank you again for your efforts. Greetings from Germany Robert
Taxes are legalized theft. They already applied taxes before paying us. But guess what - at the end of the year - we still owe them. Anyway, to everyone here - have a great day y'all!
I just carved the butter spreader out of some applewood I kept from an old tree I had to fell as the roots had gone. I’ve already done some spoons from it. The video Certainly encouraged me to be a bit more confident with my axe, although mine is a cheepo hand axe from B&Q reground and sharpened to be a flatter angle on one side, it still does the job pretty well. I’m gradually building up a good variety of hand tools for my various projects I can do with the bits of driftwood and logs that I get hold of and really enjoying the hobby. Thanks very much for making these great videos.
You're welcome Diogenese, and it's really cool to hear you've carved the spreader, and feel more confident with the axe. I started with a similar £10 Axe from HomeBase. Learnt how to get a good edge on here, then watched some Zed vids... the rest is history, and meeting up with more experienced carvers over the years. Have fun!
Another Excellent video Zed! Love the video series with multiple parts. Good fun. Wish I was in UK to see it all happen in person. Until then, thank you for sharing it.
Brilliant work the both of you- I've bought the tools to make a kuksa but haven't found the right wood for it yet, this will make a perfect intro piece for me to get started! thanks for all the effort guys.
Thanks Punkrockcaveman, have fun! Willow and Birch are my preferred woods for Kuksas. I use a quarter of large log, it's less prone to warping and splitting than half a log. Hope you find a nice sized chunk soon.
Thanks for asking the diameter question. When I first started watching your vid's on spoon carving, the pieces of wood looked like they were 2-3 times larger than they actully were. Natue of the beast of of the way cameras can distort things. Loved the vid'!
Indeed you raise a good point, i'll be more mindful in mentioning dimensions moving forward as you are right when saying the camera can distort how big/small an item looks. Appreciate your kind words and for the suggestion, im always learning when doing these videos ~Peace~
I love your content Zed. Always look forward to your videos. I have a question for you Richard, when you hollow out the bowl, do I need a scorp? And if only have right handed spoon knife. Is that enough? Or do I need a left one?
Hi Jan I appreciate your kind words and for watching. If you don't have a scorp then you can totally do this with a right handed spoon knife, it just means you have to alter your technique slightly. However getting yourself a left handed spoon knife would be beneficial ~Peace~
Thanks Jan! Zed has beaten me to the answer on that one. If you can carve a coffee scoop with your knife, this has a similar size and depth so you will be fine.

Hi Robert, I sincerely appreciate your kind words and it's wonderful to hear about your carving journey. Stay well my friend ~Peace~
Thanks Limited_Edition, I learnt a lot too from Zed's videos too in my early days, and it was an honour to then appear on his channel myself. ☺✌👍
I am supposed to be doing my tax returns and instead I am watching you do this lovely little bowl. Really enjoying it. Thanks Richard and Zed😊
Ha! add the time you spent watching to end of year deductibles! 😆 ~Peace~
Thanks Sue, hope it gave you a nice break from the taxing taxes 😊

That was well worth the watch...Thanks!!
Thats awesome to hear, thank you so much! ~Peace~
Thank you very much for saying mnbluesboy 😁
Super demonstration of fine axe work instead of relying on the knife
Thanks John. Strangers to a carving axe are often surprised at how diverse its uses can be.
Indeed it's fascinating just how much you can do with the axe ~Peace~
What a terrific trio of videos! So much information and well presented - thanks to both of you and your efforts.
Sincerely appreciate your kind words Jamie and chuffed to hear these videos were helpful in some way ~Peace~
Very kind of you to say Jamie. I hope they help and inspire you. ✌👍

A delight to hear you carved yourself a butter spreader and regarding an el-cheapo axe from B&Q, it will still do the job so no worries there ~Peace~

Thank you 🙂✌👍
We are fortunate here what with all the talented crafts folk within relative distance, stay blessed my man ~Peace~

Indeed this is a great project to get started with until you get your Kuksa tools. Appreciate you watching and happy carving my friend ~Peace~

Glad to be of help 👍 Thanks for watching the vid ✌

As always Thomas I appreciate your kind words and for watching, sta well my friend ~Peace~

Thanks Kyle... it seems to be my new catchphrase lol
Much appreciated Kyle thank you ~Peace~
Love the recent episodes. Would anyone recommend an online carving forum or "club?"
Many thanks for the kind words Tom and regarding an online group, i'd highly recommend this one on facebook - facebook.com/groups/GreenWoodWork
Thanks Tom 🙂✌👍
Who is the tool maker of the big scorp knife Richard is using for bowl? Thank you for the video!

A list of all the tools are listed on this page on Richards website - www.r2wood.co.uk/carving-tools
I love your content Zed. Always look forward to your videos.
