0:00This customer commissioned me to make a risotto spoon
0:02entirely carved from olive wood.
0:04She really wanted this specific type of wood because of its history,
0:08its character, and the unique patterns hidden inside every piece.
0:12I started by shaping the surface of the wood directly with an axe to prepare it.
0:16Then I drew the outline of the future spoon.
0:18I see a lot of people complaining about my prices,
0:21but they don't always take the time to understand
0:23how much work goes into every handmade piece I create.
0:27For this spoon, my sister paid $1,500.
0:30By the way, tell me,
0:31what country are you watching this video from?
0:33I'm curious to see how far my creations can travel.
0:36Then I started removing the excess material to reveal the shape.
0:40I cut the horizontal notches,
0:42removed the extra wood around the handle,
0:44and gradually reduced the overall thickness
0:46while keeping a stronger area near the neck for durability.
0:50The whole process took me about two hours of work.
0:52Everything was made at home with patience and precision.
0:55Every detail was carefully carved to create a truly unique piece.
1:00She was really happy with the final result.
1:02The before and after is just incredible.
