C'mon! They gave you subtitles. He mumbles a bit, I'll admit, but his accent is pure Siberian.
I never heard him mention the species. Only caution was to ensure that your choice of wood was straight-grained. Would imagine it's white birch.
I cringed every time he shaved along the grain toward his hand. The saw kerfs notwithstanding. I clamp my spoons with wood, not flesh, when I carve.
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.

The species is cedar (translation so not sure), and you can turn on auto-translate on the subtitles.
