    Can't cut straight lol. It was kind of sloppy actually. But I still enjoyed the video. But it was bothering me to see those uneven cuts over and over lol.

    The rocks were amazing. I thought they were a lot more involved but then you just cut and I remember these are organic and can be any size or shape I want. Really beautiful. Thank you. ✌🏻🤍

    Very nice, Alec! I’ve been wanting to carve a lighthouse since the one you did a year ago, then Doug’s kept light houses in my mind. Now this one knife carve seals the deal, a lighthouse is in the near future. Thanks.

    Beavercraft knives are made in Ukraine. They are sharper and stay sharper than flex pro. If you are in the market for an inexpensive knife of excellent quality, please support Ukrainian businesses and buy a Beavercraft knife…or three😁
