Great whittle, l love carvings like this. I do a couple different 5 minute wizards but not like this one. I will make a bunch of these. I clue magnets on the a pitta them on bus shelters and light poles when I take a walks. Thank you

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you Tom. Yeah that’s a great idea

[@hikingdoc]

I sure do love the expressions you create Kevin. Most of the other wizard/wood spirits out there look so dour and serious. Thanks for bringing a smile to the art!

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you Sean. Life is too short to be serious is what my characters tell me. Lol

[@dougroll8139]

A lot of nice details on it! Thanks for sharing. It gave me some new ideas of details to try.

[@KevinCoates98]

[@scottireland7890]

Thank you Kevin for sharing this video. Can you tell me what knife you were using? I like the shortness of the blade and the thickness. It looks like OCC but could be something else. Thank you.

[@KevinCoates98]

Scott you’re right. It is an OCC. They are great knives. Thanks

[@scottireland7890]

@@KevinCoates98 thanks Kevin, sorry I meant to ask how long the blade was too. Thanks

[@gizzardpuke4056]

Hi Kevin what has happened to that beautiful summarise sword you were using it was a wonderful knife and your signature knife . Have you still got it ?

[@KevinCoates98]

Yeah, I wouldn’t part with my fish knife. I use it everyday. Thank you

[@fludrbywest3886]

I love to watch you carve thank you for sharing , I would love to carve a wood spirt face in a walking staff, do you have a suggestion? BTW love this fave 😄

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you. If I was doing a walking stick I would carve the head and face and attach it to the stick

[@brucekearley8971]

Hi Kevin, I have never tried to carve a wood spirit. This would be a good one for me to try. Thanks. What is the second stain you used for this carving apart from the mineral oil?

[@KevinCoates98]

Hey Bruce. It was a little brown paint thinned with water. Just to darken the cuts a little

[@mourdan1]

hello,thank you for video.what variety of wood do you use ?

[@KevinCoates98]

I use white pine. Thank you

[@joebtemp]

They'd make dandy little fridge magnets

My thoughts to.

[@KevinCoates98]

They would be fine for that Joe

[@connieable9198]

Hi Kevin. Which tools do you find best for left handers?

[@KevinCoates98]

Connie, a sharp knife would be my choice of tool. I rarely use any other tools

[@connieable9198]

@@KevinCoates98 Thank you for responding. Are the knives pretty much for either hand?

[@scottireland7890]

@@connieable9198 yes, you can use the knife with either hand.
