That set has a hooked or curved knife so that might make it easier to carve some spoons. The deeper ladle like spoons I have pics of on here may be too deep for a hooked knife. It would depend on the tightness of the curve diameter if the knife could reach to the bottom of the spoons bowl.
Funny, I didn't notice the hatchet until you pointed it out. I have one, somewhere.I use the hatchet the roughed out spoon is resting on.
I guess I need to do a youtube search of videos for blade sharpening ...
That's what I was wondering last night... it probably wouldn't be useful for making a teaspoon, would it?
I would guess not , most hook knives I see online look to have a wide radius that would not be much use on a narrow spoon bowl.
That is a work of Art .
I use the axe to rough out the spoon like he does but I don`t have a hooked knife. My carving knife I made by grinding the tip somewhat rounded but its very sharp all along its cutting edge. That is the first time ever that I watched someone else carve a knife, my method differs some but it does not matter , a useful item is the end result. I carved my first spoons for my grandmother when I was 12 -13 years old. She asked if I could make her one, I ended up making her 14 different ones and 6 spatulas or flat paddle like stirring things, she absolutely loved them. Over the years I have made more than 50 spoons of different sizes and designs, they are nothing special, just utilitarian kitchen tools.
I would not call it so but thank you. They are just useful kitchen tools I make for my wife and daughters. When my grandmother and my mother were still living I made them all many of different designs.
Looking at You Tube , I found this guy that makes spoons much like the ones I have made for kitchen duties,
Nice.
Ordered the carving knife last night... going to look for a hook knife and the wax now.
My dad had a big scar on his thigh from a gash he got when whittling when he was young....
I'll be using a piece of leather in my lap.
Good idea, a leather welding apron works well. A hook knife will speed up most spoons if they aren`t a deep pocket type, most spoons only need to be between 1/4 and 3/8" deep, a ladle is considerably more.Nice.
