Thanks much, confirmed what I’m doing, I’m new to carving about 3 months, finishing a project I started with Andreea ‘s video the two of you are moving me right along- good stuff
So happy to hear that! Thanks for watching 🙂
That flowing curvature is exactly, what makes it an "Andy-Spoon"!
You found that design in years of practice, so stick to what is the most pleasant form in your taste.
Otherwise, people could also buy any Peter-, Paul- or Mary-spoon!
I watched a lot of carving videos here on YT and by now, I can almost for sure tell from the end-product, who the maker was.
For me that's the most important part which sets handwork apart from any industrial product and makes it so beautiful.
That's special to hear, and something I am always hoping for! One of the reasons I don't add a makers mark is the hope that my design and end product speaks for itself 🙂
What a SWEET smile you have, Andy!
🙌
Super video with a lot of good and well-explained thoughts. A true joy to watch!
Thank you so much!
Fun to watch! You explain well! Thank you! 👍
Thank you so much for watching!
Very nice. I paused the video and ordered the wood wax. I've been using mineral oil, which I have nothing against, it does a fine job. Just though I'd give the wood wax a go on my spoons. I've always had a bit of a problem with the bowl edges. Somehow I get through it but am never really happy, yet. My spoons though have a lot of curves to them which makes finishing cuts a challenge. Good information in your videos, keep them coming.
I'm happy to hear that. Personally I was keen to move away from petrochemical products in general when it comes to finishes, so the Wood Wax has been a very easy product to shift to. I would love to hear how you find it!
You're very good at articulating your thoughts. I'm sure many of us appreciate that. Loved the part about why not to use sandpaper. I've been hearing that for many a moon and most people only talk about the fuzziness and that it can cover a lack of skill.
I certainly don't want to judge anyone for using sandpaper as a part of their process, don't get me wrong! It's just a personal preference, and I like to try and clarify my stance when I can 🙂
Thank you so much for being here!
This was very helpful. Thank you. do you ever bake your spoons to achieve a different color?
Hi there, all the time! Feel free to check out my Instagram highlights on exactly that 🙂👌
@@andyspoonsAt what heat and for how long do you bake, Andy? I saw on your page you offered a baked spoon... Cherry?
For me, I sand my spoons to at least 800 because I need to, I can't seem to get the same finish with just my knives like you and others are able to, particularly on figured wood. Probably means I need to get better at sharpening.
Sharpening is certainly a big part of that, for sure! And getting comfortable with grain direction is another big thing. It's a patient journey, and as long as you are enjoying what you create, you are doing the right thing! 🙂
@@andyspoons Thanks Andy. Are you able to carve highly figured wood in the same manner or does it not really work? I carved some rippled melaleuca quinquenervia and it didn't get along with my sloyd at all.
You can definitely still get a knife/burnished finish from figured timber, but it can be a real Rubik's cube with the grain. It's not really something I approach very often!
I finished my spoon with 800. I just...enjoyed fiddling with it, really. Even now, when I'm polishing it, I sit there holding it and gently rubbing my thumb in the bowl. Sometimes I run my fingers over the profile and stare into space, not looking at the spoon, while I think about things. Is this the spoon equivalent of worry beads?
