I watch a lot of these carving videos. This one is the most well done and it looks like I have a chance to make something beautiful because of it. I am so grateful thank you.
Cute lil bear! Great tutorial too. I haven't tried bears yet, so this is very helpful. What did you seal with before painting? And do you use acrylic or oil paints in your airbrush? I have an airbrush that was given to me, so i just need to learn how to use it, n I'm curious what other carvers are using to paint n finish with. Thanks again for the tutorial, it's easy to follow.👍😊
Thanks for the instructions. I'm trying to make one similar to yours. I'm about 3 hours in and still don't have it blocked out yet. I'm trying to take my time, one wrong move and he'll be missing an ear. 🙂
Thank you! This bear is carved from a Maple log but I use a variety of woods. Most commonly I use Maple, Oak, Elm, Cherry, and Pine. Most of the logs I carve are still green. In my experience, it carves much nicer than dry, seasoned wood (especially the hardwoods). Then I seal the carving to control the cracking as it dries.
Having a carving bar definitely helps. I am learning on a MS250 with a 12” dime tip Oregon bar. Was around $100 for the bar, new drive sprocket, and 2 loops of chain. Money well spent.
This is an awesome tutorial - Thanks man!! I'm a new chainsaw carver primarily making Tiki Statues. You might appreciate the efforts behind the #TikiTaskForce !
Best step by step tutorial I've seen. Waiting for more!

Holy cra... for a minute I thought Mr. Beast started his chainsaw carving channel , wow ,.Nice tutorial btw, I appreciate it.
Great video thanks! Finally a carving video that isn't just some guys back 90% of the time. Anyone notice the mouse in the left background at 17:55?
Thanks! I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice that mouse. Hahaha

This is a great tutorial. Thanks for posting. I did subscribe and hit the like button as well. In will search for more of your videos.
Do you find slicing the back helps it not crack? Can you share a video on that? Maybe helping me understand the whole cracking thing? Thanks 😊
Great job! Thanks for sharing! What type of wood do you use and do you let it season?

The Carving Shack Thanks for the response! Do you seal it right away?
Yes the burning helps to dry the surface of the wood so it will absorb the sealer well.
Good stuff. Subscribed
Thank you!

Good job.Paint made him pop. I guess you could add in some arms and drop the feet down hey?
Great video, could you tell me what you use to seal the carving?
Paul Riley Thanks! What I’ve been using is Pittsburgh Ultra Advanced Waterproofing Sealant.
