I love your videos. I did the Rough Rider knife after watching that video.
I just started a Kentucky Flintlock. I'm a novice carver, but you have given me lots of inspiration. Thank you.
Thank you for the ❤️
It says on my end the comment is highlighted... Did I win the drawing??? I hope so as your art is inspiring.
You'll have to watch to find out, but the answer is yes. Yay! Congrats. ruclips.net/video/I5MfHd9UUOw/видео.html
You could have this spoon! Best luck to everyone! Thanks for being part of the Original Tribe.
Thank you for all of the great videos, suck talent it’s amazing. Congrats on your channel growing so well. I can remember when you had less than a thousand not to long ago. Also the hooter still has a nice place in our living room.we look at it and always think about how cool you guys are and what great work you do- thanks again and great luck to you🤙🤙🤙
Such talent🤪🤪
I love everything that has something to do with art, in every form, like wood carving, drawing, crocheting, sewing etcetera! The most beautiful thing that happened to me during the covid-19, was that I had the time for learning how to carve wood and I am so grateful for that ❤ your videos are really inspiring! Thank you 🪵🙏🏻

I figured.
This is an absolute life safer. Love this channel. I used to skateboard since I was a little child, now at 27 i can't skate because of a spinal injury(not from skating), but can't really walk and the pain is nasty.. you got me into woodcarving 2 years ago and it got me through heavy depression and even suicide thoughts. I don't even want this spoon, I'll make my own now! I really just want to thank you guys so much everything! Bless up! Much love and respect from Europe
I’m so sorry about your injury Alex, l hope your back gets better. I am so happy that you found our channel though and that you have taken up carving. I will hold your story close to my heart, it means so much to help others get started in the crafts, it’s really why we started this channel. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Mesmerizing from beginning to end. I love the bear on the end. This spoon is a thing of beauty!
There’s nothing more fascinating than watching the process of a true craftsman
I’d love a wooden spoon with such fine craftsmanship.
I would rather see more carving like this then have the spoon. Knowledge is always better then the final product that results from it.
I love watching you work with wood. Being so nice, it still wouldn't stop me from using it.
Love the true craftsmanship! Thanks for keeping the old ways open to new generations.
Beautiful!!!!Yes A piece wall art but the art is still in production if used as a spoon!!!!!!!!
I love the creativity! As someone who is just starting out on wood carving you videos really help! Thanks a lot for sharing!
Your creativity ALWAYS amazes me. I love how you rolled the edges from the bowl ... and the bear is absolutely adorable!! Thanks for another fantastic video!
Brian, that is not only a mighty braw looking spoon ,but I learned a lot of info from your short film...as always
I used to play around when I was young and camping making spoons, forks and other utensils, but they were basic items, not treasures like you produce, I am inspired to try again after watching you work.
Absolutely a work of art. True talent
Very nice Brian, as always. As you went along I wondered about your hands, you answered that, I wondered about working with, or against the grain, you answered that. There's more, but you get the idea. You're not only a very talented artist you're a fine educator too. Thanks for sharing.
I hate to try this ...commenting twice...This spoon is Beautiful!!!!!!!!! I hope I now have two chances in the bucket!!!!!!!!!!
No to two chances, but we appreciate the effort!!:-) hope you’re the lucky winner!
Another beautiful piece ... Nice to see the log from which the spoon was released you make the process look so easy and it's not .... I'm inspired to return to my attempt of first time spoon making😁
One of the greatest spoons I've ever seen
Thank you so much and welcome to the tribe!!
Loved your mention of removing the dumb wood. Also liked your hook knife and carving hints.
Your neck knife is interesting. Could you talk about it sometime?
Nice carving. Would love to have a spoon like this in my historical camping kitchen gear.
Again Brian, a gorgeous sculpture! I enjoy your channel so much. Thanks for sharing your time and amazing talent!
Nice spoon I would cherish it forever!!and ever and ever
Brian, You are amazing. It was nice to see you and MB last week.
turned out great Brian👍👍 nice work and tutorial, really like the bear, thanks for sharing and take care🙂
That’s an absolutely epic spoon! If I were to be fortunate enough to win, I’d add it to my 18th century trekking kit, and impress all my fellow trekkers around the campfire! Great video Brian…I’m going to have to try some of those burrs in my Foredom.
Always Instructional, Motivational and Inspirational, Thank You Brian !!
Cool video! reminds me of watching my grandfather work in his shop!
Brian I love the stuff you do . I watch your videos often . I would like to come up to the valley and see you guys . Fantastic job . Stu
Just amazed at the variety of mediums you work with.
As always, you just blow me away with your skill!!!
Found youre channel through the pipe making videos and must say its awesome! Were soothing to watch ☺️
Greetings from Sweden
Hi Stockman I am a 33 yr old guy living in Australia. I've always been a creative weirdo and a lifelong sufferer of Unconventional Thinking Disorder. I just want to let you know that you are inspiring me to pursuit my strange interests more and you are somewhat of a spiritual and digital mentor to me now. Thank you ✨️
Hello Anthony, l’m so happy that you found our channel. Remember, we are all just spiritual beings having a human experience, don’t let anyone tell you how to do that. When we go back to the spiritual plane we want to have lots of good stories to tell around that big campfire in the sky!😉
You do excellent work and your conversation stays on topic.
Nothing wrong with using multiple kinds of tools. Beautiful results as always Brian!! 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
Well done learned a bit about choosing the area of the branch to work. Thank you
Very interesting videos! So wonderful to see you embracing the forgotten arts~~~♥️
Awesome job Brian. I find you and your work very inspiring. I watch your videos over and over and pick up different tricks with every view. You demystify a lot of these crafts and inspired me to give it a go. I especially like your scrimshaw work. I decided to buy the scrimshaw knife kit you guys tested and gave it a go. I now have a new skill to add to repertoire. Big thanks to you. Keep doing the great work that you do.
That is absolutely beautiful Brian!!
Insanely beautiful! Amazing artistry❤️
Hey Brian, love the spoon, and everything else you do! I too have the arthritis bug, had to have the joint in my left one replaced a year or so ago. Thanks for all the stuff you post!
Your video has inspired me to carve my own utensils. I have a great deal of dried apple limbs I think would be a good choice for carving. Enjoy your videos!
Amazing work Brian. Thank you so much for sharing your passions .
Nice spoon!
Always nice to see videos from you guys.
Love your videos and the way you teach.
Nice spoon . First thing I ever carved was a spoon I’ve been carrying them over fifty years now I just love taking a nice piece of wood and carving a spoon . Unless I’m going for something specific I let the wood dictate the design. Thanks Stockman
Hello Travelswith Harley, haven’t seen your handle before so welcome to the tribe, we’re so happy you found us. It’s a lot of fun letting the wood guide you through a project. That’s what happened with this spoon. Things always seem to work out better if you’re not too ridged in your plans. Thanks for joining us here.
@@StockmanOriginal thank you for the great videos . I’m curious about your shop is a shop tour possible?
Wonderful, how your mind must work to be able to see such a form and then carve it out of the wood. Great little film, thank you. (Oh, I live in the UK so I wouldn’t expect you to send it all this way, but great nonetheless.)
you did great as always - i so enjoy watching this channel. thanks for being there..
When I was much younger and doing Living History most every weekend I’d oft times grab a nice piece of wood from the wood pile and hand carve a utilitarian spoon or two. Nothing anywhere near the wonderful art that you create but usable.😀 also my wife and I are known as Manbear and Shebear so that spoon would go very well with us. We love your artistry and videos.
I wanted to comment on that huge piece of hornbeam, which is about as big as they normally ever get, and rarely that big around my parts of Minnesota. That stuff is awesome, in many ways, and awful, in others. I love to make stuff out of it, despite the struggle or perhaps because of it? It's really fun. I don't want to deprive someone else of the chance to get a carved spoon, because I make a lot of them myself. Although yours is very nice, I love the detail of making the handle look like an old tree for the bear to hang on. I have to quit typing so that I can pay better attention. Stay warm over there!
Well, that did turn out nice. I do mineral oil and beeswax because maybe it keeps some water out? I don't know. But when I visit someone that has one of my spoons, I tend to work on them a bit and make them shine again. I made a hornbeam spoon a while back, and it was so hard to make it smooth with the coarse grain it has. It took forever to fiddle it into a shape that I could live with.
Wonderful work, I love the shape--it reminds me of photos I have seen of the the Pacific Northwest seep's horn spoons/ladles, and bears are such wonderful animals!
Beautiful work as always Brian
a fantastic video, I am always in awe of your talent.
amazing as always! i’d stir up a big pot of oatmeal with that 😊
Absolutely love these videos. Always amazing videos.
That is ablosulty beautiful and I would love to have that spoon
Beautiful work as always.
Thanks for the sharing. Arthritis sucks.
Nice wood. Cool spoon.
Very nice carving.
wow that's a gorgeous spoon. I carved spoons before and baked them with some walnut oil, 350F for about 25 minutes - put a tiny bit of oil on before and after. Brings out the grain. Nothing as fancy as yours, though
Wow! Such awesome spoon love your videos!!!
Wow so cool you guys are living the dream thanks for sharing it with us🤙🤙
Tanks for a wounder full channel 😀
Your work and videos are so inspiring!! Ty
Perfeckt as ever! 😉 Happy ewery time when you post a video. I hope you will make one about your earrings! 😱😍
Beautiful Brian!!!
Hi Brian have made a few spoons not as nice as that one ,hadn’t occurred to me to use a dremel leaned a
lot . Very nice spoon
Thanks for sharing your skills!!
Great videos - you inspire so many..Thank you
Awesome spoon!!
I think the only way I could truely appreciate the every beautiful detail of this amazing spoon would be able to hold it in my own hands and gaze upon it with my own eyes 😜 absolutely stunning work as always mate 👌👍✌️
awesome spoon !
You are an amazing artist! I have carved spoons in the past and we use them regularly for cooking. I used walnut oil for the finish though. I have never seen anyone use mineral oil for that. I am going to have to try it on the next one.
Love you channel.
Mineral oil is found in the pharmacy sold as a laxative. same stuff as sold as bread board oil but much less expensive.
@@elund408 thank you I did not know that
Well done Sir !
It’s beautiful! Thanks
You’ve more talent in your big toe than I’ve my whole body!🤩 Your creation(s) are absolutely gorgeous, and it’s always a pleasure to watch you practicing your Craft. Thank you for sharing!🤗
Wonderful video. Inspiring.
Well that was pretty great!
Thank you Dan, and welcome to our tribe!!
Awesome brother... Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much Jeff, more to come!
Love your videos to brother.
A great job!!
Thanks Tom!
Really nice!!
Nice bear spoon! I want to enter to the giveaway!!
When you made your eye punch how did you grind out the inside? I want to make a set of carving tools and love your hand made sets. (I get lots of ideas and crafting inspiration from your videos!). Thanks for sharing so much!
Hello lron lvy Forge, to make the dimple l used a small round dental burr after annealing the steel.
great video, take care, new subscriber
Great to have you with us, welcome to the tribe!
Great video and beautiful spoon! Thanks for the giveaway. Just curious what do you use for dust collection? I could see the dust being drawn away when using the power carver.
Thank you very much. I have a squirrel cage fan that blows the dust right outside.👍🏼
Do you find the walnut dust bother you ? It’s hard on my sinuses . Beautiful spoon !
I have some dry walnut that I have been carving, you have given me some new ideas. I also like the different tools you have made from chainsaw files. What did you use to make that small hook knife?
Hey Rob, thank you! I made that little hook out of a chainsaw file.
I was doing exactly what you were doing. My friend came in and said I was cheating using power tools. I would rather spend my time with the finish work. Instead of beating my hands up carving hard dry wood.
Hi Richard, welcome aboard! Yeah, for years I resisted using power tools,wanting to remain traditional, but l’m getting older now and my hands have arthritis developing. So like you, l save them for the finish work. If it’s green wood then l’m likely to use hand tools.
@@StockmanOriginal Thank you sir. Will you please do some videos on the tools you have made.
How do you deal with the inevitable hand crap when whittling? Any tips?
Hello Holland, yes occasionally l do get cramps which generally means it’s time for a break and a stretch. Stretching will loosen up your tendons and muscles. Quite often l will get so involved in a carving that I end up sitting way too long and have to remind myself to get up and move about.
Hi from 'neighbors' Adam and Mary in NH! We would LOVE to win the lovely spoon! Please enter us! Thanks so much.
1 question i can not get a straight answer too is.. what type tree's are used to make spoons -forks - knife's- that are not posionous to humans...they talk about sertian tree like saying fruit- flowering but not much on names of trees. some are porus - or sap - do not use. seem's like each state is diffren't
i use pear tree.. but only carve green wood here in GA. only been carving spoons for a year. would love to learn more about it. and oils or anything to protect them from use. on the ones i made i used olive oil - coconut - but have not used them do to not knowing whats safe. i just show them off... thanks for any help. ps...please don't add me to the drawing. im here for the friendship and good info...
Hey Lee, thanks so much for being part of our tribe!! It’s wicked cool that you’re making spoons. Your spoons are fine, l make spoons out of a lot of different woods, and use them al the time. Fruit woods are great, nut woods are good. I like maple, cherry, and apple,but walnut and butternut are very pretty. The thing about spoons is your not eating them or inhaling there dust or other wise ingesting them. Some wood’s dust is unhealthy to breathe and so should be handled with that in mind, but once done they’re okay. The oil you choose doesn’t matter too much so long as it’s eatable. Some oils tend to get rancid in time, as l mentioned in the video usually a spoon gets used and washed and used again and seldom oiled in between. Mine are all quite bare and doing just fine.
