It’s obviously not plastic in a literal sense. Actual plastic is made from crude oil- which is why I made the reference that a polymerizing oil turns into something that feels like plastic.

You’re very welcome!

Hello! There is absolutely nothing wrong with Black Walnut for food contact nor is there one for eating directly from it. The likelihood of an allergic reaction is almost zero since people with “tree nut allergies” are allergic the protein in the nut itself- not the wood. Hope this helps!

@HuronSpoonCo thank you sir,that is what I thought. Have a blessed day

You as well!

You’re very welcome!

I’m glad I could help 😊

😔

lol it’s just the perspective. I’m not much of a camera man😂

Hahaha I did think it was the perspective. That maple is beautiful. Our natives in Australia are nowhere near as beautiful as that 🥲

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment!

You’re very welcome!!☺️

I gotchu buddy 🙂

I sold my GB WL hatchet. Could not stand the skinny handle with a ridge, and didn't feel it was worth re-hanging. It's too light and my plans are to try out bowl carving next. Looking to purchase GB carving axe now, same as in this video.

I’m glad you could benefit from it😊

I’ve found that both work well but I generally prefer symmetrical bevels for sharpening reasons.

Just a heads up- sanding will almost always leave a fuzzy finish. Burnishing will certainly compress the fibers and give a silkier feel, but once the spoon is moist again the fibers will undoubtedly raise up again.

@@HuronSpoonCo Thanks Up until now I’ve been struggling with my skill level with the knife for the final finishing, and have been using the sanding as a method to get the final shape, Recently I’ve managed to do a few with only the knife to almost the exact final shape, but then sanded them to remove the flat spots and carving marks. Practice makes perfect as they say. 😁

@robg521 absolutely!

Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback!

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Glad to hear it! You’re very welcome 😊

You’re so very welcome! 😊

Abrading wood just creates torn fibers, which is not conducive to a good finish. Plus, if there is a method that’s inexpensive, quick, and easy- why wouldn’t I use it?

Correct!

Glad to help!!

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

I think we all struggle with those things until we gain enough experience. I carved hundreds of spoons before I produced one that I really liked and now that I’ve carved over 1,000 I still find something I don’t like about every single one. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Spoon carving has a steep learning curve.

😂😂😂

Good question! I lay them completely flat and make three motions all at once: 1- twisting between my fingers and my thumb through each pass 2-moving all the way from handle to tip (and in some cases all the way from tip to handle) 3-as I make each pass, the sharpening sticks move slightly from spine to cutting edge as well. If you were to just move the stick straight up and down the blade, it would cut the paper. This also helps the burr raise.

@@HuronSpoonCo Thanks a lot!

You’re very welcome!☺️

Thanks for the sub! So happy a few folks are able to take something from my content😊

I sent you a reply on Facebook 🙂

The weight doesn’t sound like it would be a problem but the ergonomics and geometry could be. It would also need a proper scandi grind, which would likely be too thin since cleavers are much thinner than axe heads.

I don’t live there anymore but I do work from home.

@@HuronSpoonCo Thank you! Very helpful video as well

@@jugbrewer you’re very welcome!

I did, yes. Here’s a link to an album I put together that shows how I achieved it: facebook.com/share/Xt7euK7LXAPQdDNU/?

Can’t go wrong with the Kalthoff

@@HuronSpoonComy Kalthoff came in yesterday, thanks for the recommendation, love it already

@gravydogg1 you’re most welcome!

You’re extremely welcome!!

You’re very welcome David!

You’re very welcome!

Thank you as well, Jim!

I’ve experimented over the years with soaking axe and Froe handles in Linseed Oil with the thought that reintroducing moisture would cause the wood to swell as it filled with oil. After several attempts of this, I’ve found that only the porous rings will really soak it up, while the rest do not. The science of this makes sense in that dead wood cells shrink as they lose moisture and no longer have the capacity to hold any moisture. Sadly, handle replacement is the best course of action for loose handles when you can’t wedge them or replace existing wedges.

You’re welcome Jim! Thank you for watching!

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much! I’m super glad these two videos helped you!

Hey there Jeff. They’re surprisingly difficult to find, aren’t they? I had to make my own because the only person I knew that produced them sold ones that were out of my budget. The only advice I can offer is that I had the glass custom cut my a seller on Etsy. I reached out with specific dimensions and once I received them in the mail, I made thick Walnut based for all four of them and glued them together.
