That's the beauty of having more than one project to work on. I get to move around from project to project. This particular one is a Large project for sure. By the time it's done, it'll stand around 5.5 feet tall.

Thanks Honey. Yeah I wasn't sure how my talking while working on the carving tools would turn out. I tried out recording to see what the quality was. I could raise my voice, but I didn't want to come across as yelling. I see now that I can raise my voice. But the Karaoke machine is a good idea. When will I be home, dinner and just a few feet away........thats some funny stuff right there!!!!

Right!!! Where's that sewing machine.............

Gunalcheesh my Brother.......

Me too.....A nice way to spend the night as Trick or Treaters come to our door to get some candy. Good idea Ivy!!!

Thanks Honey!!!!

Thank you.....That's a lot of watching of videos. I have been recording on UA-cam a number of years now, I have 353 videos that are published,meaning they are recorded in the landscape cell phone position. It took me a bit to realize that recording with the cell phone in upright/portrait position when used in the UA-cam format shows the video on only 1/3 the screen center, 1/3 to the left and 1/3 to the right are blank. I have around 29 of thiose ones . They're still viewable, but don't register as part ot the total count, but I still count them.....mark it up as part of the learning curve.

I have lots of patience .....😊... my videos are that way all of my videos are that way I didn't know there was another way I'll have to tell Joanna what you said ​@@fredfulmertlingitartist

I'm very interested in your work because I feel that it coincides with my study of the carved stone

And the ancient history of carving on wood stone ivory bone. ..that is my study

Landscape recording for UA-cam to show full screen is the only way. Don't know why, but thats their formatting.

An Adze it is. L and R handed adze. An awesome tool for sure!!! The rarity to all of this , is that I am left handed. Lol

Yeah when access to Alder when it is in the spalting process from fungi, but not totally overtaken by it, meaning still carvable, not punky or soft where the white streaking. Then it's usable like these pieces.

Yeah having this carving shed sure is a nice addition.

Your welcome There are many different approaches to carving masks for example. Whenever I talk about mine. I tell people that my approach is a Way. I's not the only way, just another way. The knife to wood relationship is pretty much relative. Do you try your hand at carving?

@@fredfulmertlingitartist I just started small things but not tried your style yet, its fascinates me all the different creators and styles, and you are right, its a relationship between artist and wood that is not duplicated, it will take much practise to get comfortable to find my own way, but I do enjoy art. Thank you for showing us your way

Keep up the carving, like anyrthing else it's practice,practice,practice. That old saying about 10,000 hours at anything to really know it. Well I'm not there but the concept applies. Knife to wood relationship will always be knife to wood relationship. Just depends on how you apply it. Carving is a part of my Alaskan culture, and that is what inspires me. So finding what inspires you is part of the journey down the path of making wood chips.

Thanks Honey Good to see the Big cedar mask after all these months working on the Petersberg Totem pole and going to work up in Glacier Bay for the tourist seasson. I'm Back!!!

Yes it is. I have put masks in galleries over the years. Some galleries won't take mask if it has human hair. But I had this horse hair and decided to use it. Definately adds another dimension to the finished piece when embellished with some add ons, Hair, cedar bark hair, abalone inlays, operculum shells etc.

@@fredfulmertlingitartist| Beautiful! 😌♥️

Gunalcheesh-Thank you

Go Jamie Go....

Duncans turn....

Thanks Honey

Yeah I always carve the face to a certain point, then start to hollow out the back. I always carve the back to a stopping point, meaning don't remove too much wood, because your committed to how deep you can carve the front if you take too much out. So I hollow out to a certain point then finish the front and come back and finish the front.

Your welcome. Do you do any carving?

@@fredfulmertlingitartist i do. The woodrocksandplants and stuff has some bowls and spoons. I have another channel for the knives i make, that’s wirch’s knives. I’m envious of your masks. I find it interesting to see how you hold and carve, talk about how you get both sides the same, that’s hard and you make it look easy. I started a sun mask, but got stuck on the nose. In a few months when it’s snowing here Ill get it out.

Show what you are carving. Learn a little,carve a little.

Many thanks
