Home grown spoon carving!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2023
- Today we have been testing out some tools including a new Sloyd knife design. Being able to use your own home grown timber to make spoons and woodenware with tools you have also made is a great feeling. Certainly the best way to test tools is to put them to use on the task they have been designed for. This new "Laser Sloyd" is certainly a great tool for carving spoons and made quick work on some home grown Cherry.
We hope you enjoy the relaxing carving in the sun with some sharp tools.
This new design is available now on the store too if you would like one follow the link below.

Always love watching your video's Ben&Lois 🙌🇬🇧👏👏👍That Sloyd looks to be a great Addition ben 👌👍
Thanks a lot Martin, much appreciated so pleased you enjoyed it. Was nice to get to do a little carving 👍
What a beauty, and the knife looks great to😂
That parang did an AMAZING job of blocking out that billet...
You make my hands jealous. Prunus family of wood is my favorite to carve ie. Almond wood, but Plumb wood is my favorite so far. I love it when wood just feels so good to cut like cruched velvet butter. ❤ Oh, sweet knife! ❤
Thanks a lot. Yes cherry is my favourite too. Many thanks and so pleased you enjoyed the video.
Many thanks cheers Ben
Love ya mate!!!
Long time no talk.
I lost my channel, forgot passwords and all that.
Was going through some family issues so have to start over.
It’s great to see you.
Hope all is well with you and your family cheers matey
Superb video as always Ben and superb tools doing what they were made to do 👏👏
Nice video as always, love that new knife
😊very nice knife😊 Thanks for sharing 😊
Excellent video
I still need a Ben Orford knife 🥲🥲🥲
That Sloyd looks like a work of art Ben, another for the wish list..! Hope all is well, cheers, Paul 🙏
Hi Ben, love your work mate! I like that new knife design.....believe it or not it is very close to a design i have had in my minds eye for a while now...but for a very different use scenario....im here in the tropics of Australia's Northern Territory. Anyway more power to you Sir
Great vid mate any chance of a vid in your new kukri design been really tempted with it but am having a hard time deciding between it and the parang
You should make a laser sloyyed knife with a spoon gouge pummel just have it come out the back alitttle and put a 90’ on it.
Just enough to dig out the bowl part of the spoon.
Cheers
Ben is that the AEB-L Hunter Orange G10 Parang?.......weight?...field sharpen ok?...thank you
Thanks for the comment yes this is AEB-L and holds an amazing edge but is super easy to sharpen even in the field. The weight is 500g would be slightly less with micarta scales. Let me know if you want more information
Many thanks cheers Ben
Here’s a link to them on the store 👍 benandloisorford.com/products/aeb-l-hunter-orange-g10-parang?_pos=1&_sid=2b19f83c3&_ss=r

Ben! Quick! What's the tree trunk next to you when you start to describe the parang?! I have several like that but cannot find the bark description. Many thanks Eddie.
This is some wild cherry or Bird Cherry very nice oily bark and great wood for carving. Hope that helps
cheers Ben
Thank You!@@BenOrford
@@edwinmason123 no problem hope it’s useful.
cheers Ben
😊😊😊
Great demonstration again Ben, it looked easier than using an axe but I am sure that is mostly due to your knowledge and skill with the tools. You said the cherry had been felled a few weeks ago. What is the guide for timber to carve a spoon and the moisture levels/time from felling please ? I appreciate that could be a long answer but it must make a huge difference to the carving process. Is greener better than too dry in most cases or vice versa ? Thank you.
I'll chime in...green wood carves alot easier than dry wood
You're using a cleaver in place of an axe!
Where can I buy these knives in Germany?
Many thanks for the comment we can ship to Germany no problem. Check out the link in the description and it will take you to our store. Many thanks cheers Ben
