If you see the color start to fade, take a heat gun and the color will become more eye catching. It also helps with sanding

Hey, that looks great! Purple heart is definitely a tough wood to carve

Beastmodeiscool That’s just me in general XD

So happy to see a post from you, I’ve been scrolling KZread for hours looking for something cool and this is it!

Yeah man, came out pretty nice for your 1st attempt... Now that you kinda have a grasp on what to do it either gets easier or you get more obsessed, maybe both, hahaha.... hope you're having a great holiday season... take it easy...

Not bad. Stepping out of the comfort zone isn't easy. That's why I like your videos!

Don't know if it's textbook accurate but but I'm sure Mrs. Beetle thinks it's as charming as a bag full of kittens.

For a first, second or even tenth attempt that looks really good. I'm sure she loved it. Great job!

You once told me: “Green Beatle would not attempt this”. Well the purple heart is out of the bag! Green Beatle will attempt anything! Nice work!

Expanding horizons is a good thing. You did way better at first attempt than i did. Lol. Awesome job...

His videos are so calming, his voice and the fire or yellow hot metal is so calming, really helps me sleep

I've been carving hardwood with knives. Oh joy... LOL. Nice work with the Rose buddy.

if you sliced the wood thin and shaped the individual leaves, then glue them to a central pillar, it might give you a different result. That said, I have never done this.I think your rose looks cool. Nice job!

Red cedar would be super soft and good color!

"Jabba plop" he he ha ha. I was thinking the same sort of thing, but after you took the bottom off, it was much more rose like. Nice job for an "inexperienced" carver. I'm sure she'll love it.

6:30 I thought it looked like a pine cone! But it turned out very nice, good stuff!!

“Next time...softer wood..” *music* 😂 killed me dude!

Very decent first attempt. Purple is some seriously hard wood.

If you started with a more cylindrical piece I would think you could keep the petals tighter and more shaped, I really like the top good work

Breen Greetle (my Man) I recently subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your intelligent high browed humor I cant wait to see a new release from you,, you are defiantly the best knife making youtuber!!!

That’s a lovely red cabbage. Try Tupelo wood and acrylic paints. 🤓🤓🤓

I made a Purple Heart ring- it looks awesome, but it was some really tough wood. Good work.

You did a fine job all things considered. Merry Christmas.

that's really nice, came out well.

Good job, I hope she liked it

Looks like an alien crabbo with the leaf legs, I like it

If you soak Purple Heart for a couple of weeks in a bucket until it sinks, it becomes softer and easier to carve. Tip you you try to do this add soap to the water, otherwise it will smell pretty bad

Just a tip for purpleheart, if you really want to bring out the color, stick it in the oven at low temperatures for a few mins. Notice at the beginning how the color popped when you did the rough sanding? That's what heated purple heart looks like! Awesome video, purple heart is a PITA to work with.

You can also take a heat gun or a torch(light swipes across) and the grain will raise and the color will be the amazing purple color. Never tried putting it in the oven, does it raise the grain and help with getting it super smooth after sanding?

I think you did a good job. Hope she likes it

I think its really cool that you're branching out. Maybe you could combine bladesmithing and woodwork and make some type of tanto knife.

I use purpleheart for knife handles and cutting boards and I can say, “I feel for you!” Purpleheart is a beautiful wood but it’s hard and gums up using power tools. It does make beautiful handles for daggers though!

Try bass wood - super soft and it takes dye really well

Impressed that you kept going, really tough wood to shape. End result kinda looks like you cut the top off a pine cone and glued it to a starfish, You will do a lot better next time. Thank you for sharing.

Merry Christmas mate, love your channel. Happy New Year to you and your fam.

That was pretty cool man nice contrast to the normal metal work you upload

It's a good looking piece! Purpleheart can be an absolute nightmare. I'm a woodturner. Making a bowl from it isn't much better. Next attempt, use Redheart. It works similar to maple, but a little easier. It would make an absolutely beautiful rose.

You're back!!!

Awesome idea! I love how it turned out, good job mate ;)

Look great for a first time

Looks pretty good to me!

Depends what kind of rose you were going for. I'd say it looks pretty good for a first attempt!

As a carver this is pretty interesting to me. Metal workers coming to carving tools for the first time often make the mistake of thinking the tool will work the same regardless of direction of attack. Wood and its tools don't work like that. You need to cut in the direction that pushes the fibers together, not apart. This is why you are getting chip out and a rough surface. when carving curved lines the direction can change several times in a single line. You have to sense it and reverse direction with your cutting edge. This is the central problem of carving and why those funny bent gouges and chisels exist. In the roughing out phase it isn't so important, but still, you stand a higher chance of chipping out parts of the wood you wanted to keep by working against the grain. Next, initial choice of the orientation of the block to the design is important. You chose to put the end grain right at the top of your design. This left you fighting end grain constantly and it is hard to get cuts across the endgrain to be smooth and clean. Your tool needs to be at maximum sharpness and you need to take many light cuts to avoid chipping out the wood in a way that leads to lots of tiny deep pits that will be hard to remove. Essentially leaving you where you started; with a layer of wood that has to go. In full relief carving such as this you can't avoid working in the end grain, but orienting it the right way at the beginning helps to 'minimize' that problem. I air quote 'minimize' because it really can't be avoided, half instead of three quarters so to speak. Working back and forth from abrasives to cutting tools is another no no. The abrasive will leave residue in the wood which will dull your tools. Do it, but understand you will need to remove the affected wood and then re-sharpen, or wait for sanding until you are done with the gouges. Finally, I want to tell you that a sharp cutting edge will give you the most beautiful and clean surface possible that will not need sanding. This point is pretty advanced and it is joined at the hip to another design principle; design for the tools you have. If you look at old master carving you will see that the shapes come directly from the shape of the cutting edge. I love you, man. You are one of my favorite youtubers and I offer this too-long paragraph of advice in good faith and without rancor. I hope it comes across like that.

A black prince rose!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥

I think it looks great.

I like the tool from Shawn Sipa. 50/50 90% rubbing alcohol and water in a spray bottle, or just soak the block. Some color may leach off but it is great for softening wood to work end grain, or very hard woods like walnut, oak, mahogany. I even use it with basswood to add more fine details.

Most wholesome channel on KZread?

Hey beetle, if you work with purpleheart in the future, you can give it some really deep purple color if you lightly heat it with a torch before you oil it

My Father is a carpenter and well known master craftsmen and he told me about doing some work for a rich guy that involved a lot of Purple Heart. My father dulled 6 saw blades cutting up the Purple Heart. What I did was use some Butternut on a Small piece and stained it with a mixture of Red Oak and Purple Heart as I felt the Purple Heart stain was too Purple.

Happy holidays

I would say that most beginning woodworkers don't get their chisels sharp enough....BUT I know You didn't have that problem! Must have been some tough purple heart!

I carved a cross from Beech then stained it with a Mix of Purple Heart and Red Oak as I felt the Purple Heart Stain was too Purple. Turned out awesome.

Happy holidays beet

As you found out purple heart is some tough wood to carve. Foredom sells typhoon burrs. They cut through it a bit better than regular burrs. Smooth it afterwards with regular burrs. Either way, you did great for a first attempt.

Leaves just under the petals = sepals :)

You got there before me. Hooray for phytoanatomy!

Well I'll tell you hwat, it's a million times better than anything I could produce. If anything, the only thing I'd say to change would be widening the leaf carvings you used as a base. That's really all i got from it as an amateur observer. That was beautiful work and I'd love to receive something like that as a gift

LOL You think it's hard to CARVE ? Ha ! As an architectural cabinetmaker, I built a picnic set out of Purpleheart for a client, It splintered so bad and was so unforgiving I had to file the arrises for the top and legs with a fine file. Your rose is beautiful, TY.

I know you probably don't do this kinda stuff.. But I would love to see how you would go about making a hunting/recurve bow... Great video! :D

🤣 this video mirrors my current, and first experience with purple heart. I just used a fine tooth, flush cut saw from harbor frieght to hand saw through a piece about the same size as your beginning block. And I nearly turned it to fire fodder after my saw broke not even halfway through

I did similar years ago with a wide grain oak relief. The rose looks better without the star leaf stand imho.

Just an FYI we use Purple Hart as decking for heavy equipment trailers, but it makes great knife handle material. I'm no expert but Bass wood is a good soft wood for carving. Check out Doug Outside on youtube. Happy New Year!

At least u have the power tools, I don't & it takes me a couple of days to do it.

The leaves looked like a star fish

Ridiculously sharp gouges make any carving job easier, especially with a good variety of edge geometry. I've been taught to generally avoid straight chisels, because of the tear-out problem. Basic problem of softwood is that it pretty much always gets shaped, even by dull tools, but not always in the way you want. A good start tho.

Maybe only the sepals could be smaller; they seem a bit awkward to me. Overall, the final result is great. Bravo!

I think a clear laquer finish would've worked better since purpleheart is already so dense, and maybe the petals could've been shaped to come up and out, then fall at the edges. Cool process though, I think I might try for myself! (You'd totally be able to make a great pinecone if you used some walnut btw 👌)

Do you remember that episode on futurama where fry learns a musical instrument that projects a hologram?and it turns out not so great? But he did put alot of effort to show his love to leela. And thats what matters

Hey Beatle!! LOVE your videos!! Send greetings to Argentina un your next video!!!

I literally learned how to carve roses stems flowers and leaves into these huge white oak beams in the cieling of our house cuse we knocked out two weight barring walls and used huge giant pieces of white oak beams hollowed out to support the roof. And it looks amazing I carved it all in the air after the fact took me a good month of weekends but it's beautiful like what green and green did in their houses. Like the Procter and gamble house inspirede to make all the wood work in my remodeling to look like decor but it also serves a purpose structure wise as well all the wood work I did in our remodel look up green and green arcatexture and green and green houses andansions and the Procter and gble house scarf joints and all looks beautiful so I did that along with a modern style as well in our house. I'm 29 and just learned or started learning how to do wood working and carpentry about three months ago and here I am carving beautiful flowers and stuff into beams in our house and scarf joints and cabinets with drawers that has no hardware for the sliders it's all grooves and joints to make the drawers slide out and in solid and smooth

LOL - I read the title & immediately answered your question in my mind: "If you use power tools, sure." =) You left out the most important part - did she like it?

Hey Green Beetle, can you post a build video of those sheet metal roses?

Not bad for a first attempt

looked like a pinecone at first :P

Purple heart has a way of kicking a novice wood worker right in the pride lol. It can be discouraging. I try to only use it for cutting boards or knife handles. Slowly gaining to confidence to carve something out of it though

I think a better way to do it your second time is to do tighter more vertical angles but overall it looks nice for a first time :D

Wow, that's really fuckin' cool!

Better than what I would have done.

I have a block of purple heart in my tool cabinet waiting on me to make my damascus hammer head so I can take it into ridiculous territory. I also want to see if the warmth from being held darkens my hand print faster than the rest of the handle.

for reference you can sandblast to sand and get in all the tight spots

I think the leaves under the flower are sepals. They are not true leaves, but part of the case of the flower bud,

Careful with Purple Heart. I hear that the dust can be really bad, if not poison.

All rosewoods (I'm pretty sure purpleheart is in the family) can cause extremely severe allergic reactions in certain people, some to the point that they stop breathing. A guy in my woodturning club was hospitalized for 3 days due to allergic reaction to sawdust.

@@RealRuler2112 Purpleheart is distantly related to the rosewoods, though they share similar health effects. Purpleheart/amaranth is a part of the subfamily Detarioideae, while the rosewoods make up the genus Dalbergia which includes cocobolo, African blackwood, and many other economically important species. Amaranth is a sensitizer, which means that each time you're exposed to it the greater the chance of developing an allergy to it. I like to share a link to a great database of wood toxicity with as many other woodworkers as I can, so here you go; www.wood-database.com/wood-articles/wood-allergies-and-toxicity/

Hey Man! I'm new to your channel... I'm a woodworker and I was interested in your video! I thought I would suggest a great carving wood for you to try. Try and pick up some 'Limewood' (in America, I think they call it 'Basswood'). but they are great woods for carving, easy, cuts nicely and I think you'll be great at it. Limewood is the best wood for carving! Subbed!

Good shit I liked it

GB, my man. This is straight up masochistic.

try some juniper wood just the core though the outside is white its also much softer than that wood

nice pinecone

Leaves under flower is called a peduncle.

Nice liver I mean rose .. just kidding Looks amazing for a first try

Not bad my dude. Always fun to create some different content every now and then.

Next video, Green Beetle forges himself some decent chisels? Why use Stan1ey when you can use a hand forged feather damascus gouge?

Is it tougher than hickory? I have both but planning on using purple heart but i might go with hickory just in case

Great job mate, as you already observed, purpleheart is wayyyy too hard for that kind of stuff, but it came out great in the end!

Natural colour always better than stained

is it possible to make a key out of damscus steel ?

I went and watched the "real deal " And I'm convinced that he wasn't using wood, it was frozen butter.

Where do you get your knife steel?

4:54 I see you pour yourself into your work as well...

Excellent! Can I raket your drill name?like pencil..

A nice piece of bass wood would have been your best wood of choice for carving this.
