  I saw this video and I had a chunk of construction scrap to play on. The cross section wasn't quite square, but I figured, "Okay, so it'lkl be a little leaner than the example." Then you go and knock the diagonals off!

  There is a warning about skin irritation on the bottle, but I've never had an issue. After it dries I don't think it would be a problem at all anyway, but individual reactions could vary I suppose.

  Thanks for the clear instructions! What are your thoughts on using oil prior to painting?

• 
  @dywoodcarving19 күн бұрын

  On my simpler projects I often just paint the untreated wood and then finish with the Howard's Feed N Wax. I like this method because it's easy and worry free for beginners. That said, I do sometimes use Boiled Linseed Oil prior to painting. I do this on my gnomes and several of my other carvings. It's a nice effect, but you do have to be careful if using BLO (some use walnut or tung oil as a non combustible alternative). I have an older video on using BLO if you're interested.

• 
  @zakaryrichmond396Ай бұрын

  I would say expect it around October but don't trust my word for it like gospel. When I ordered mine I remember seeing the website say still working on orders from March and thinking okay that's only 3 months ago so I placed my order and expected it to arrive in December because that was 6 months later. It arrived at my old address on the 5th of June but I was still in contact with the people living there so I just got it open today on the 16th. Thsi knife is so beautiful, so high quality, and very very sharp. It took probably a year to get to me but I'm just glad to have it after how this past year has probably been for the drakes.

  What finish did u use for the complex spirit u did ? If u don’t mind me asking sir ❤also would Pfeil set b and c total of 12 tools cover most all rages for 6 inch character carving ? Thanks

• 
  @dywoodcarvingАй бұрын

  The finish on the complex spirit is a mix of boiled linseed oil with a small amount of burnt umber oil paint. I am not all that familiar with the pfiel sets, but assuming you are talking about the palm tool sets, I would likely think so. I don't actually use gouges much aside from a few vtools and mini gouges for texture, but the pfiel tools are a great set.

  ​@@dywoodcarving since I think I've checked all links and they all usa based- do you know if there is occ t knives sold in the EU? Reason I ask is that I've yet to find a whittling site based in USA that will even have a "outside usa" options in the order form, sadly enough. It makes so little sense to me since it's not a small market and yet "smaller"/specialized us sites seems to have this reoccurring problem for me in Sweden. Any advice would be appreciated! 👍

  Thanks so much for putting together such detailed beginner videos. Any insight into what to look for in a handle? I am interested in the Deep Holler knife but the only handle they have in stock is called an A handle and it looks like it has a pretty big curve on it and a point on the end. Any thoughts on picking that up versus waiting for something else to come in stock?

• 
  @dywoodcarving2 ай бұрын

  Thanks. It's a hard question because so much about handles is personal preference. I don't have the A handle, but I do have one of the "curvy" handles which is somewhat similar. I find it to be generally comfortable and have no problem using it for extended periods of time. I wouldn't worry about the point on the end as the DHK handles tend to be fairly large and your hand is not likey to slide off over the pointed area.
