Nadav! I am about to finish my first spoon, totally inspired to begin carving in wood by you brother. I only have a question what type of oil I should be using now when I´m about to get finished.
WOW!!! It is absolutely amazing to watch you carve such beautiful pieces of art work! It is very therapeutic to make things with the hands. Thanks for sharing. What oil do you use?
I've been looking for so long for a channel like this 🎉🎉 thank you! Great quality vídeo! Heard about you through Instagram reels, keep going the good work, hope you grow your channel 💞💞
Thank you so much for your content and for sharing your process and thoughts with us. As a creative person who is looking to take on wood carving and wood working generally, I have always found living in a flat with no garage/balcony available a bit intimidating. It would be great to know your thoughts on this as it looks like you do a lot in your flat, including the axe work, is that correct?Thanks
Yes it was intimidating for me as well at first, I put some foam on the bottom of my axing log in hope to soften the hits for less noise and to protect the floor, I try to split the wood outdoors and only do the light axing inside, also I don’t use the axe on weekends. As for cleaning if you don’t broom regularly the wooden chips will get everywhere in the house😅 but I found myself a little corner and in the end if you have a table and some space to make a mess and clean after yourself every time then why not carve at home😁
Thanks for your feedback it’s great to see such amazing art being crafted in a flat in the city! I am Italian living in London and had to give up easier access to larger spaces and outdoors as I am currently living in a small flat, but I still believe that you can do a lot of great work in a limited space. My initial thought, just to get started and see if I like it, is to work with softer wood such as basswood to be able to get away without an axe and get into some simple carving and whittling to begin with. Eventually I would like to work with green wood and source my own wood. Thanks for the great inspiration!
Hey actually it’s very possible to carve without an axe especially if you’re not planning to do big things, green wood will be perfect, also it’s quite easy to source your own wood, try to go around your place in parks or some small forests and look for freshly fallen branches or trees, after a windy day or a storm there’s high chance of finding something, I would cut pieces that don’t touch the ground to avoid bugs and rotten wood and cut a piece that is around the thickness of my wrist and try to split it with a knife and a improvised hammer made of wood. Then just make sure to work on it when it’s still wet and always store it in a humid place like a plastic bag with holes so the wood won’t crack
Get yourself a cheap dropsheet. Sit on a chair with the dropsheet under your feet. When you are finished, catch up all four corners of the dropsheet with your mess inside and throw it away. Also, maybe keep some of the small chips for tinder and kindling in case you want to make a fire.
Just found your channel a few hours ago. It's 8°F/-13.3C here, and its dark and there's a wind storm. I want to carve so badly right now, but don't have it in me to go outside source any wood at the moment. Your videos help scratch the itch! Really enjoying your work, your attitude and thoughts, and the heart you put into what you do. Thank you! Also, where did you get that sweet axe?
hey, thanks a lot for your kind words! sound so cold, better not go out for wood and freeze 🥶 the axe is from Pfeil, though honestly I don't like it that much, I use it for now until I can invest in a handforged axe that has a better weight and balance
@@nadavartandwood good to know! I think I'll go get a roofer's axe from the local salvage store (with the hammer on the back side). Those roofer's axes have a straight bit and a lot of extra cheek. I'll cut the hammer head off of it to lighten it up, cut a beard into the cheek to lighten it up and allow a choked up grip, and then grind it down to a single bevel for hewing. It'll be a good experiment.
Hi, could you tell me what wood it is in this video? The bark and grain look like what I reclaimed from a wood dumping spot. I always wanna identify it. Cheers!
Best carving close-ups I've seen. Beautiful. ❤
Each cut is both a soul art. You are an artist, I am very respectful.
Thank you for your kind words 😊🙏🏾
This is so therapeutic to watch. Do you mind me asking where you get your gouge/chisel set from?
These chisels are from “flexcut” (:
@@nadavartandwoodFlexcut make good stuff.
Thank you brother 👏

Beautiful work ! Thanks for sharing these videos. What type of axe do you use?
This is a carving hatchet made by Pfeil(:

Very beautiful! Thank you. What type of wood do you use?
It’s cherry(:
Can you list the tools you are using? Super interesting! Thanks!
In other comments he said the axe is from Pfeil and the gouges are from Flexcut
I just listed the tools on the video description(:
That little gouge is so nice 😍😍 flexcut?
Yes(: though the handle I made, I didn’t like the original one that much
What's the brand of your tools in this clip ?
Great video really enjoyed your art 😊
I use the mora 120 and a set of gouges made by flexcut, if you want the links are in the description (:
What type of oil do you use?
I used walnut oil (:

I believe it’s cherry (:
She’s a beauty!
Thank you!😁🙏🏾
Sorry if I missed it but would you share what wood you used for this spoon. It looks like it could be maple but I'm not sure. Thanks!
This one is cherry wood(:
Awesome Video! How long did it take you to carve the spoon?
It’s hard to say as I was filming but this type of spoon would take me around an hour from start to finish 🤔
Ciao complimenti bel lavoro. Ma usi legno verde o stagionato. Che olio usi per finire il mestolo.
Thank you😁🙏🏾 I used walnut oil for the finishing (:
What oil is it that you add at the end, sir;
I used walnut oil (:
@@nadavartandwood ty sir.
Does the ASMR mean Autonomous sensory meridian response ? Is that a feeling we get if we turn the volume up or if we cut into a finger?
Well each one has their own satisfaction 🤓
Amazing work! What liquid did you use to preserve the spoon at the end of the video?
Thank you! I used walnut oil(:
Is this spalted maple?
It’s cherry (:
Quality spoon carving, what make are the interchangeable curved chisels please? 🥄🪵👌🙂📽️
I just listed the tools on the video description(:
Beautiful! And great editing! What sort of camera + lense gear you use to capture?
Thank you, I used Fujifilm xt3 and several lenses I just updated the description and put all the links(:
Thanks!
😁

That dog is deCEASED 😂 Great video.
😊🙏🏾 thank you
Красиво. !!!! Я тоже такую сделал себе
I’m happy to hear! I love long spoons they are so useful 😁
Gotta have the camera set on something else. That thumping is way too distracting.
do you mean when I use the axe?🤔
@@nadavartandwoodI think he's talking about the camera shake
@@groucho1895thats not the camera shaking thats the log hes using shaking
@@theshlankiebrosmisc3432yh but since the log was the only thing in frame, all attention was in the log😂
i dont think i like your tattoo :(
I appreciate your honesty🤓
