    Lovey to hear you Anne. The first video that told me it is better to use freshly cut wood that would be a lot easier and safer as against dried wood that would be more difficult. Spoon carving has always been intimidating and it still is, for me that is. I have started carving my first spoon but not like you do, holding it in one hand whilst the carving tools are held in the other, but have it secure in a vice and using a gouge. I do not when will I muster the courage to carve like you do. You are just too good. Great!

    • @AnneofAllTrades
      @AnneofAllTrades  2 года назад +1

      That’s exactly what it means- for best results, you need to start with a piece of wood that’s at least big enough to split it in half, cut away the pith, and create your carving from what’s left of each half-section. Ideally, you start with a piece even bigger so you can have more design options/ size chunks to choose from :)
