Wow, I just stumbled upon this vid. as a fairly new learner and it answered about 90% of some serious issues I"m having, all by explanation and demonstration! Thanks so much Zed and Owen, can't say just how much I appreciated this! Man, that boy can certainly carve....phew!
Another Excellent video, as well as the one on the Cawl spoon. Owen mentioned several nice tips like widest part of the spoon should be the deepest and others. These are two videos I will watch again as they are very clear and concise teaching tools. Ordered a Cawl spoon from Owen to be a visual guide to aspire to in my carving. Thank you Owen and Zed, and for the templates as well. Cheers, Michael O’Brien Alabama, USA
So nice of you to support Owens work by purchasing one of his spoons and indeed yes I learnt lots by filming Owen, he's learnt from some of the best teachers in the UK so is a body of knowledge. As always Michael I appreciate your kind words and for watching ~Peace~
That wood seems to be very hard, to resist those blows that you apply to it with the tools, what type of wood is it? congratulations for your work; very beautiful.

Thanks again gentlemen for another great tutorial video!!! After the cawl spoon video, I was really waiting and anticipating this one. Thank you both for your time and effort. ✌
Thank Zed and Owen. I can see i need some more practicing with my twca cam. I have only used my ordinary spoon knife on dolphin spoons so far. Twca cam is not an easy tool to master. Keep up the fantastic work Zed.
@@Zedoutdoors Yeah i am sure the template will do it's job,i have worked without them,but like Owen,i also like having them & i do Stop cuts,i have done without them,but i do use them they work a treat. Thank you very much Zed,you are a awesome Camera man & bring use great content to follow
Thanks Zed and Owen. I got a lot out of his explanations and watching his method of work. I'd swear that at around 39 min I felt some of those chips hit my right ear. ;-)
Hi John we did mention the names of the tools in the video, if you are starting out then the tools you choose all depends on your budget. As a general advise I would get a Mora 106 straight carving knife, Ben Orford spoon knife and a Robin Wood carving axe ...all these three are great tools for a budget ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors ok great thanks!! And if I want to get tools of mid to premium quality? Living and training in the forest is my life. It gives me tremendous peace especially when working away from home and missing my family. I want to buy this weekend so will be grateful for advice again.
Huge thanks to both of you for this tutorial 🙏🙏🙏
You are very kind thank you ~Peace~

Thank you for watching, the wood species is mentioned in the video my friend ~Peace~
What happened to your shelter build?
Back there soon Joe as been really busy with work ~Peace~
welp it was bound to happen, got my first nasty cut on my thumb the other day from carving. time to heal and then get back to it
Sorry to hear that, hope it heals and take care moving forward ~Peace~
Twisting your knife reduces the cost of BANDAIDS.
Safe technique is always important ~Peace~

Excellent camera work Zed. Thanks for sharing.

Love the carving videos. Dose anyone ever use a kukri instead of a hatchet?
Thank you kindly Tom, at a push you could use a Kukri but it may get dangerous using that for the finer axe type cuts ~Peace~
Your work is very wonderful.
Indeed he is very talented ~Peace~
