Hand Carving A Wooden Spoon From Log to Spoon

The second of my spoon axing out videos. This time going from log to fully shaped spoon. Key to both safe and accurate axing out, especially on a small spoon like this is to only use small movements with the axe. You don’t want to lift the axe more than an inch or two away from the wood and at certain points use the axe head like a chisel or knife and push it over the surface of the wood to achieve a smooth, even finish. As always, its essential to make sure your axe is sharp for this to work.
