    Why did you make your coat so long and eliminate most of the pant leg? You have a drawing and one that you carved to follow, why not follow them?

    Hi Joe! Thanks for your question. I often decide to modify my original plan while carving. The reason varies due to wood grain direction, how I like the look, or in some cases I think about making the carving easier for a beginner carver. The drawing is just a conceptual idea not a pattern. Happy carving!

    Do you need to wear a mask when cutting this foam, I know you can buy also electric cutting tools to do so. This is I have read the dust from the foam due to its contents is extremely bad.

  • @whittling
    @whittlingАй бұрын

    Thanks for your question. Wearing a mask is always an option. I did not wear one because I was carving with hand tools, not rotary tools like a Dremel. If I were using a Dremel I would definitely wear a mask. Happy carving!
