Great video Van. I really like this way of carving the face. After our last class together, I have more understanding and confidence with how to go about carving a face. Well see how it goes after a little more practice.

How long have you been carving ? Im a Forced into Retirement Builder of Remodeling Homes , got hurt, and here I am trying to keep busy.. I miss working sooo badly.. Love working With Wood..though Im using old pieces of Pine branches, red cedar branches, and types of hardwood semi hardwoods whatever I can find... I come close to slicing myself several times,, Yikes !! Trying to find a carving class in area, Massachusetts. TY, looks great

[@davidvitale9338]

Van - can you please do one of these but with a mustache and beard? I would really like to practice this method for Santas and Gnomes. Thank you!

[@stephengekoski4929]

Good evening Van. I am 70 years old and just started on this enjoyable journey. I have one question that will solve two of my question by finding out is the wood I'm using to hard or are the tools I purchased not sharp. The type of wood and where to purchase would be greatly apricated.

[@timfarrell8621]

I am fairly new also, I started with a Murphy knife, they are affordable ($25) they hold an edge great and can be used for most carvings. You can upgrade later!
As for the wood, most common is basswood it is easy to carve, I buy it from Heineke wood start with practice sticks in 1”, 1-1/2” and 2” Hope this helps!

[@paulmelanson1527]

Hello, great video. Is it possible to make a face without a square piece of wood. How would I start wether it be on a flat plane or on a round plane

[@vankellywoodcarvings]
