Man am I lucky I got some of that bark, it made a great cup and the Raven hanging from my mirror in the Jeep. Funny that may have been from 14 years ago, but when he carved a face for us in the summer of 2013 he was just as fast. Great knife skills, I have a long way to go.
for those cutting toward their chest: keep the POINT of the knife away from you, and keep your wrist torqued so your thumb points straight ahead, not to the other side. This puts the meat of the base of your thumb between your knife and you and makes it impossible to cut yourself. (Mors is already doing this). For more, check out the "Knife Grip Sessions" playlist by Sundqvist on the Mora/MoraKniv RUclips channel, all about safe greenwood slöjd carving grips.
***** Mors your a genius i saw your segment on 'on the road again' in 88 and went out that day and built a shelter i was 8 ,,you have influenced many people and are a hero to many....like myself ! cheers from New Brunswick !
Here come the "safety" ninjas. Title of the video must be "Knife safety". True "experienced" whittlers carve toward themselves all the time but do so safely as learned from real experience.
that feeling you get when you spend hours on a project that ends up looking like crap and mors does the job in minutes with exceptional results
NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS. Watching the master at work is a real pleasure. Hope to attend one of your classes one day.
I can't even grasp how good his knife skills are! Extremely confident skills he has and the knife is like apart of his hand! Lol
Single most amazing video on master woodcarving I have ever seen. Can't believe how fast he was! Amazing.
What an amazing guy. It took me hours to carve a simple spoon and he does a better job in just a couple of minutes. Thanks for uploading

Yet another great video featuring the legend himself. Eager to try carving this bark out now. Thanks.
Amazing carving and the material.. we have Black poplar here in Europe but they’re never this large or have that kind of bark
wow Mr Kochanski you are without question or doubt a master with the knife. Thanks for sharing.
Mors you are my hero!
fantastic! the spoon carving was amazing to watch, thanks for sharing!
Amazing! We have black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) where I am, very similar. I'm excited to try some of this!
He makes it look so easy. Great video.

What brand of knife are you using to carve with? I have never seen carving knifes like those.
It is a Mora Knife, the Erickson style.
