On the whole I do not oil spoons when I use them myself. It is a gut instinct that our ancestors would not have oiled them. I am sure wood was just used in its unfinished state. I am talking about treen that was used everyday not special items.Seanhellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475536325768589469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855691040587882776.post-42351563747186398132012-01-16T14:35:24.536+00:002012-01-16T14:35:24.536+00:00Beautiful work, Sean, and superb video.

Thank you. <br />Do you apply anything to a finished ladle to seal the wood, or is that not necessary?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042650405946029324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855691040587882776.post-72021655311846387672012-01-08T21:11:06.043+00:002012-01-08T21:11:06.043+00:00Great video, thanks for showing us.Great video, thanks for showing us.Martijn Tophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283093458398403473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855691040587882776.post-37533802709260542832012-01-08T20:56:44.165+00:002012-01-08T20:56:44.165+00:00Thanks for you comments Mack.

It really has not occurred to me as it always worked fine. Mind you the bevel is convex and also a bit more obtuse than I would use for a gouge. The thing I really like is that is so light, a bit like some of the African style adzes I have.Seanhellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475536325768589469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855691040587882776.post-45658655851334886962012-01-08T15:48:45.438+00:002012-01-08T15:48:45.438+00:00nice video Sean. have you ever considered heating ...nice video Sean. have you ever considered heating and bending the blade a bit into a radius of some type, for your homemade adze?jarrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535439668700027435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855691040587882776.post-30553705109865281162012-01-08T15:15:25.649+00:002012-01-08T15:15:25.649+00:00Nice ax work!

Going to have to start haunting the used tool sales for a likely candidate. I like your teaching technique, and the production values were really good.
