Another great video. I agree it's all about learning and doing. You can't learn without doing. I just have to do more and learn what works and doesn't work. Thanks for the inspiration. Baba Booey to you too

What a fab video and no rock music to make you switch off! at last this guy knows how to communicate without unnecessary additives

One of the videos I have seen in a while. Well done sir

It's a joy to watch this fella demonstrating his art. IT beats all the talking in the world. Other people need to learn the art of teaching like this man. Teaching is showing it being done Maths teachers should learn this technique instead of chalking formulas on a blackboard confusing us all. Dont talk about it show us what your talking about so we can all watch and learn something.Well done mate your really inspiring

i love it..... and i love how you let ingenuity guide you and letting others know that is a valuable tool.

Alberta boy says......you are one wise owl ! Oh talented one .... New at this in June,way too much time on my hands. I lucked out by NOT being hard on myself...Bear #1 SCARY..fish #1 many compliments one it's SIMPLICITY. .....each different carving got/& still gets better.....have I come a long way ...yes ( thanks to the awesome encouraging YT carver masters suggestions ) but its still a " Long and windy road ".. .today 3.75 months later , an acreage owner took a chance on my " potential " ,and I've just completed Bear& bald eagle Driveway entrance Posts.....only stipulation I had to be happy with them when I reached the limits of my " ABILITY "....... BEST SHIT I'VE MADE TO DATE & 6 Ft in the air. Best customer in the world....not pressure, no expectations. ...try and wipe the SMILE off my face...NFC. Ryan oh wise one please keep stressing the fact..,enjoy whatever you make......the process is just as much enjoyment as the final product . Please send wood !!!!!! no really.pleaseeeeeee

Hi Ryan its Jack from Liverpool England. It's great to watch an artist at work and generous of you to show us how you go about fashioning the finished article. Well done I'm grateful I enjoyed every bit of it. Take care Jack

Love your videos and your details...cool to learn that spraying up under the feathers will catch the paint and highlight the edges....yahooo!

Didn’t read comments for the answer to your question? Was it Sasquatch? Jk 😆 Sounded like metal on metal, maybe train tracks? Something a horse knocked down that slid down metal siding? Was scrolling through to see if I missed any videos durning the summer when I’m busy with work, and found this one. I so needed this, I want to be able to do feathers, I have a couple birds coming up, and I need to get to practicing. I did however make a single standing 3’ feather, like Chainsaw Chad makes.

Your Owls are absolutely amazing Dude!! Awesome!!! 🤘😎

I took a carving class from Master Animal Carver Midge Schmitgen and I was using a small detail brush to paint some fur on a Tiger. She said I was going to be there forever. She pushed a huge brush in my hand and said paint it like you were painting a barn. It came out amazing. Sometimes detail is just a time waster and you gotta just get er done. Your no nonsense, here is how I do it, wrong or right, no apologies attitude is awesome! That's how every artist should be. Great work

Thanks again it always helps to watch a couple vids to get in the spirit of things. I like your style . I am working on a crazy sicumore limb and am going to put a owl in the top where there is a wart. It will look like a baby owl sitting in a nest with multiple wood spirit faces stacked down the cane shaft. So far its looking good.

Very cool, Ryan. Thank you for the time you have spent showing us how you do your amazing work.

Ryan, this is a great video. I appreciate you taking the time to do this. I think it'd be amazing to see you really slow things down and explain everything for the absolute beginner. I have watched a few of your tutorials and enjoyed them, but I have noticed they can move a little quick. Not so much in this video, but in others you explain the entire process and then tape yourself doing it entirely. It would be great if you slowed it down to an almost painfully slow video to teach the absolute beginners, like myself. The more detail you can supply for each moment in the carving, the more we learn. Assume we know absolutely nothing, especially on videos for beginners. Explain a step or what you are about to do, then show yourself doing it in real time. If you're videos get lengthy, break up the series and place them in a playlist. You could have playlist for a lot of animals or different carvings. The plus side of doing this is you can refer people back to these videos and not have to answer the same questions 600 times. I also understand you are working for a paycheck too, and may not have all the time in the world to do that.. so it's ok. I've been enjoying your channel, so please don't think I'm trying to tell you what to do. Just a suggestion from a fan. Keep up the great work!

Thanks I’ve thought that. I’ve been struggling with that cause I found that if they drag on they some people click off. I’m gonna do a membership thing soon. And I’m gonna do long form videos and also even private lessons too. I’m literally trying to learn this all at rapid pace as thing are kinda exploding. And I’m trying to balance carving , filming , editing , and being a good dad. So I’ll try to come up with something that will work for you and others who have asked. It’s a good idea to do multiple vids. I’m now done my small owls and bears and moving into big winter commissions for the next few months. So there will be some real coool big carving vids broken up.

Love the tutorials, new Hobby less then a year now but it is super addicting for me. Between Jordy with dremels and yourself with saws I am learning tons. Just curious on what type of air brush you bought. Everything I am selling that my wife doesn't claim as hers, is just being reinvested in more toys. Got my first stihl a couple weeks back .

Thanks Ryan appreciate your time teaching. You responded a few days ago asking for suggestions to carve I know it's pretty complex how about doing an angel lol how would you mount the wings. I know that you have big wood in BC but here in Manitoba with the wood we have we would have to mount the wings to the carving. Hope I am not a pain in the ass lol.

i would have to wait to get a job like that but i wont forget that suggestion..

hey Ryan love your tutorials. Do you have experience w/Exterior water based varathane on carvings? I like idea to use this since would keep paint colours true. Or you stick to spar varnish even though paint colours including white amber, as your experience Spar gives longer/stronger protection?

❤️❤️❤️

Hey Ryan! Great work! I have been doing tikis, but now am trying birds. What kinds of wood do you like to use most? So far, I have been using pine and basswood. They are also green (fresh cut) and hold a lot of moisture. Do you worry about that? I have been getting some splitting. Is there a way to reduce that problem? Thanks

How do you do the feathers on the back of the neck? I'm struggling and that looks awesome

Very nice job on the owl, how much do you usually sell one of those for

As a new carver myself...might I suggest " any thing " I know....sounds dumb and unhelpful. BUT as long as its meaningful to you and you try your best......hopefully someone else says " hey that'd a ??????? " .......that in itself should be all you need. Key thing to remember........its your 1st i stress that you keep it or atleast know who has it......( on # 10 you'll u derstand )........somedays its a 1/2 a step back.....tomorrow its 2 steps forward ( that might mean level eyes and nose holes )...... everyone that you do is different......and youre doing it " the best of your ability " is what matters the most. The o ly persons approval that matters is yours ..... Oh.....you will always see a part that needs work...ALWAYS SO work on that on the next one Or Fick it Try something else. 3.75 months 6 different subjectd( multiples of some ...1 offs of others) $ 500.00 Cad. Sold Moneys a bonus The shit eating grin on my face doing one........PRICELESS JUST TRY......THEN AGAIN good luck and practice

Ryan im just starting and I'm having a problem with keeping proportions. Do you have any tips? TIA

Hey Ryan! It might sound lame but I'm kinda being held up on how to finish out the base of the carving...do you think you can do a quick lesson on that subject? I carved an awesome eagle and the base just isn't doing it justice!!
