    The book is wonderful, inspiring and educational. I've been thru it several times now. I tend to carve more in the winter next to the wood stove. I may break that pattern, thank you Alec.

    Great job Alec! I am definitely going to be giving that a go. Wish I could do one of your classes but have no interest in big cottonwood carvings. I am strictly a knife carver and that is why I love these knife only videos. Thanks for all you do for the art of carving wood. Be blessed :)

    Alec i'd love to hear your opinion, or other wood carvers here.. Would it actually be possible to turn wood carving in to a full time job/career? That's my "big plan", because i want my career to be meaninful and important for me. I know it's going to be rocky road and i won't get rich doing it, but objectively speaking could it be possible to turn it into career over time? Is there a gap big enough in the market for me to strike in if i work hard and be patient/smart about it?

  • @stanleyrokusek5477

    I grew up in Battle Creek, now live in southwest England where we buy fuel by the litre but talk miles per gallon and we measure with the metric system but I’m 5 feet 10 inches tall!
    Love watching your videos and hearing the familiar sounds in the background!
    Waiting for delivery of your book, looking forward to it.
