Very, very nice work, I appreciate your keen design sense and well-honed craftsmanship. I'm at last eagerly returning to sculpture and carving after a long career in television, and you've further inspired me. I mention television only because I can further compliment you with some authority on how well lit your videos are and how good your mic placement is -- especially for the wood carving genre! Being able to so clearly hear the wood shave off is priceless for gauging the pressure you're using, really feeling the density of the wood you're working on, etc. Despite academic training in sculpture and design, I expect I'm going to learn a thing or two from you. Thanks so much for making these videos and making them with care. They're a wonderful resource.

Absolutely superb bit of work. Very very impressive indeed great skill and vision and not a pencil line anywhere. Definitely something to aspire to and maybe one day be able to achieve the same end result. Question if I may 🤔 what type of wood are you using ??? Or is it one of those very thick barks that is like a wood ? Any advice or help greatfully recieved. Cheers Les.

I screw the piece of wood to a plywood fixture and then clamp the plywood to the easel using 2” spring clamps.

It’s actually bark, cottonwood bark

You have fabulously artistic carving skills and the guy has just the character and expression needed. I was thoroughly enjoying the watch and looking forward to the finished product when the video ended abruptly. What's the idea of that? I feel completely cheated! In future please either finish the thing (preferably painted as well) or warn us in advance. I WOULD have subscribed.
