I'm a carver and man your work is just so awesome, I enjoy everything about them, form, colour, grain of the wood, natural pose of the animals...another awesome piece, well done

I love seeing the oil applied as it brings your sculptures to life. I’m in awe of your sketches and watching you carve. Thank you.

While I do think the fox is too bulky for my standard view of how a fox looks, there's different foxes in the world and the sculpture is hella fire no matter what. Amazing work!

Wood grain in this sculpture is so beautiful! And yes, this fox has a piggy look hahaha (and kind of a sad look, too) and that's great, the fox has its own personality. I really like this sculpture, this is the one I would try to buy if I could afford it. I enjoy your videos every month, thanks for spending time and effort on filming and editing and all of that. Last thing I have to say is that your voice is very deep, I think it was for that reason that I was struggling to understand what you said, so I installed a chrome extension to increase volume over 100% and now I could understand your speech hahaha. Thanks Jonas.

It's beautiful. I like the way the wood brightened up so much on the one side. It looks like sunlight is bouncing off the leaves. Nice work.

As always …. Amazing sculpture. Beautifully made ✨🙌

Thank you Jonas for your talk through of your thought processes. Just watching you sculpt is amazing but knowing why you did it makes us understand your problems better. The little fox is beautiful!

Dude, your art and drawings alone are worth subscribing but your sculptures are truly wonderful. The imagination and vision of turning something 2d into 3d always blows me away because I know I for one don't really think that way so definitely an underrated talent in itself. Of course the workmanship and skill speak for themselves, very beautiful

You're insanely underrated holy sh*t.

Could be a cool conept!

I believe you said something about hoping this came across as a fox pup in the sculpture. The body shape does give off that "baby canine" vibe but the only thing Is keep an eye on is the snout. Your pup has a wide head and a short snout. He looks more like a wolf than a fox because of it. Other than that, it across as you hoped!

Your work is on a whole other level than most of the wood carvings I’ve seen. The way that you are able to capture the animal’s form, emotion and add a surreal touch to it is very impressive. This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen, but I intend to watch each of your previous ones as well. Thank you for sharing your creativity with me.

Ever since I took an introduction to sculpture class in college I've just had an utter fascination in wood sculptures and the processes that people have to make such incredible pieces. I absolutely love your work! It's the sort of art that inspires me, and that I hope i could inspire my own sculptures at some point in the future

This is so beautiful!! It looks like a whole story caught in a carving. I love the way you incorporated the element of wind and leaves. The fox looks so light the way it’s walking on its own tail. There’s a beautiful air of mystery about the whole carving.

it is AMAZING how the tail is sculpted!!

Man, those nerves! That really caught me off guard. Well played, sir! 😆

A few things to make it better: A more slender body and a slightly longer and more slender snout, and some fur detail on the body of the fox. Other than that? Utterly Amazing work, I am blown away and captivated.

This is one of the coolest and most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.

It’s so beautiful! I think it looks more like a wolf or something, but it’s not giving pig so that’s certainly great! I think it would look more fox like it the face was thinner. With something like a fox, when it comes to making sure it looks like a fox and not a similar animal, it really helps to look at pictures of foxes and similar animals (wolves, dogs, etc) and pointing out/scratching exactly what makes it look like a fox and not a dog or wolf.

Of course i stuck around to the end of the video, would be foolish not to. In my opinion, I would say this is among your best sculptures yet. Great work! :)

The sculpture looks beautiflul! I didn't know that oil was used to give wood carvings this nice colour. The autumn fox walking on its tail is very fun idea, as well!

Thank you! Yeah i love working with fun ideas like this. The oil brings out the beaty and it also protects the wood

This is amazing, I love how you were talking about the fox being younger and I think I saw a comment about how the fox is more poofed out than how they would do it, but I think it's great that way since babies would usually be more fuzzy than adults sense adults have e long fur while babies have short fur. I think that implication makes the fox look younger than an adult. I also think the face is perfect! I love your process and I love how you explained it! Thank you for this wonderful video and sculpture! :3

As a teenager I grew up in Laguna Beach where Moens Abel (sp?) sculpted. I so appreciate your work. It’s lovely ! Blessings 😊

I adore watching you carve, you make me want to pick up yet another hobby! I’ve been here for years now and every video I am just blown away by what you create next. I like this little fox, he seems cute and has kinda a melancholy expression to me. It’s like he’s walking through the forest right at the end of fall when all the leaves have fallen and winter is right around the corner. As for the next sculpture I am kinda leaning towards the realistic because I think it would be a huge challenge to do all the feathers and try to make them look real but maybe you could somehow mix both of them? I hope when you finally do have your exhibition that you give us a tour for those of us who can’t afford to fly over and see it in person!

An Absolutely gorgeous piece! ❤❤
