My name's Frank Downing and I really liked how you talk I do do the carvings I'm going to follow your teachings and send you some pictures of what I've created myself thank you for everything you're a master you got a god-given talent and you enjoy it

Keep on talking that's a good thing while doing the videos. I would love to see you do a full length how to video. Carving a Bear. Explaining each and every cut no matter how long it took. You are such a good artist. I believe your students in tube land . Would love it 🐻

Great video. Thanks for sharing your talent !

My fiancee is a huge fan of your work and the way your able to ARTiculate info in a way that he can understand.

Actually successfully carved a decent bear my first try cause of this video. Thank you!! The GoPro shots from your point of view helped me the most

Your buddy Jordy Johnson said to stop over and check you out in a few of his videos. I'm very happy I did. I plan on starting to try chainsaw carving. I'm very familiar with safe use of a chainsaw. However I really didn't have any idea how to tackle a bear with this tool. I've carved a few with my knives, but I wasn't sure how that would translate into big logs and chainsaws. You have inspired me to give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration. I love watching your content. Have a great one, and keep em' coming!👍🏼

Looking forward to the upcoming vids, Ryan. Sounds great! Do you sharpen a lot or start each carve with new chain? Your cuts look smooth and effortless. I sharpen daily but don't seem to get quite as much power into the wood. Ripping downgrain is slow....
