Not my usual preferred subject matter, but very well done and very inspirational.

I like that you talk about the tools you use and what you're looking to accomplish. I appreciate you moving around the carving to take a break from a specific detail, that fact gives me a new perspective on my cravings. Thank you for sharing your craft!

Thank you. I wasn't sure if I was being too repetitive, but taking those little breaks has changed my carving process for the better!

You nailed the proportions! What a great project, well done sir.

Why is it called Cottonwood bark as opposed to Cottonwood?

@tomwilkinson2898

Жыл бұрын

Hi Scott. It is actually the bark of the cottonwood tree, a type of poplar. I actually don't know how the actual wood carves, but the bark is typically thick and has grain, albeit a bit unpredictable. It's fairly soft and easy to carve which is why it's popular among carvers.
