Watching this made me remember I have been working with cherry wood which is exponentially harder than basswood, the entire time I am carving I think "it does not look like this much strength is needed".
“Make sure you wrap your fingers with safety tape” watching this with a chunk missing from my thumb, definitely do that 😅

After 2 years mu carving skills haven't improved much. After a bad cut on my finger. I stopped for a while. A month or so, I started carving/ attempting to carve again. Right now I'm just learning how to make basic cuts.
I felt inspired after having done a decent pumpkin carve this halloween after accidentally doing this that you're doing 05:26 but as i know from many works. Pumpkins rot and get soggy over time. Now i feel like trying out these more delicate moves on wood. Thanks for the extra tips in the video!

My grandfather carved wood, he did it so beautifully, sadly he has alzheimers now and cant get out of bed. Wood carving has been an interest of mine for a while, I remember carefully wiping his sculptures from any dust when I was little. This is such a beautiful hobby, it connects you to nature, and how we, as people used to be. Thank you

“Help cut more wood with thumb. This is all for today.” I chuckled a couple of times. It was just good to see someone working the wood.

I usually jump in too far, but i think the spoon would be great. Retired Florist, so I have years of cutting away from my self, and I can draw pretty well and sculpt a little. I am looking to making a spoon to start.

I was inspired by all the stuff you can make and its easy like drawing
The wood I like the most is probably an oak or mountain ash defiantly my favourite tress as well as evergreen and silver birch

I mean you can first start with only a regular pocket knife like an Opinel for 9$ then if you are really into it but some more tools. Also you can go for second hand tools as old tools are often been taken care of and not used for long years. Just need a sharpening and it is as good as a new one

What if I wanted to make a katana handle and what kind of coating should I use to prevent splinters?
@BeaverCraftTools
2 жыл бұрын
Try to follow these steps: 1) Sand the wood with a palm sander and 80-grit sandpaper to smooth out the wood overall. 2) Change the sandpaper to a finer grit, such as 120, to further smooth the wood. 3) Use a putty knife to fill any nail holes or cracks you don't want to show with wood filler. 4) Select a finish that you prefer for your katana handle.
