I love this video and all of your videos for that matter. I keep coming back to this one and decided to do a smaller scale version with a block of basswood. It came out pretty good and wish I could send you a pic of it. I still have to carve the bark and put some linseed oil and paint (not sure if basswood is okay to burn). Love your work and you inspire me to carve more. Cheers bro!

Nice, moving to a farm soon and looking to upgrade from whittling to chainsaw carving. Lots of experience with saws, and carving, but never combined the two. Just watched Saw Dogs season 1, and was cruising KZread for beginner tutorials when you popped up. Nice work Ryan, you've come a long way. Pretty inspiring dude.

Crazy cool! Might have to try one small scale. =)
Thanks Ryan. I come in to watch your videos when I'm feeling blue because they always cheer me up. I'm new to carving. My first little bear took me 2 1/2 days and came out looking like Cornelius from Planet Of The Apes. 2nd one only took one day but it looks more like a German Shephard. A good-looking German Shepherd mind you, but still a German Shephard. When I was done with the head, I cut it off since you can't have a dog's head on a bear body but there's plenty of log left to start again tomorrow. Most fun I've had since the Rona debacle started honestly. You are an inspiration man. From now on I think I'm going to do cartoon bears until I get the hang of this. Then, no matter what kind of animal they end up looking like they might at least give someone a good smile...

Hi Ryan, you’re a wizard wood worker 👊👊 love every video! I have one question for you, do you do anything specific to the wood before or after carving to eliminate cracking or splitting after the carve?
Outstanding

Hello from Ukraine! I learn from your videos. Your work is so so good!!! Thank you bro👍🤟
Morning Ryan, could you do a step by step on carving a bears head.I tried to do the same cuts you did but my bears look bloke. I need some tips on smoothing them out. Have a good weekend Thanks
You do a fabulous job on bears! Not a good learning video though--too fast to learn all the cuts and details that you use. Thanks for sharing!

Your awesome man! 10:52
Love this video and have watched it at least 20 times on 1/4 speed. Although you sound funny at that speed, the carving steps are still a little too fast from 6:24 to around 7:30. I am brand new at this and have had one carving turn out pretty good. THIS video and bear are awesome! Is it possible to do this bear for that time periods worth of cutting on multiple stationary cameras at different angles in real time s we can see perspective? I have no one in my area who carves(or is holding a class) so your channel is one of my main go to for information. Even better than the book I bought. No worries if you don't want to, I will be a drooling subscriber regardless. Something like that kind of video would even be worth buying. Thanks from Missouri

Your fun to watch! I’m a 43 yr old woman in Utah, got a chainsaw for Mother’s Day and I’ve already carved 5 bears! I have a long way to go to get more tools, but seeing the ones you use sure helps. Couple questions: what do you seal your carvings with? Do you recommend any electric chainsaws? I have a battery powered one, not the best. Thanks for sharing your talent! Hope to hear from you soon if possible! Wendy

Hello Ryan, I’m a photographer and artist. I just now started watching your videos because for years I’ve been wanting to learn chainsaw carving and so far you are my favorite to watch. Your stuff is amazing. I want thank you for sharing your skills and helping folks like me learn. I do have one question to start here. For my very first chainsaw that wouldn’t be heavy for me to start from would you suggest the most for a beginner learner? Thank you again. Brenda

Hey Ryan so I recently took up carving. I wanted to share my first bear which was inspired by your videos. I email the pictures to you hopefully you get them. I appreciate your videos and inspiration. I would love feedback as I am looking to improve as a hobby. Thank you man your videos are honestly the best for someone learning. 1:52
We gotta get you a tripod brother!
Hey ryan just like to say thanks for doing what you do and how you do it, loved this video and learned a lot from it. Just getting into carving and your tips and tricks will definitely make me successful. This was my first bear I attempted with my ms170 and it actually turned out. Going to invest in some other tools for the finer details thanks to you and your knowledge, keep doing what you're doing. Thanks again.
Beautiful piece as usual How long does a typical carving if this size take in real time?
Please tell me what saws, bars and chains I need to get started.
Amazing work Ryan! Thanks for putting this together, very helpful. How much would a bear of this caliber bring? Keep up the great work!
