Something so satisfying about watching cottonwood bark being carved. Your end all creation is always nothing short of Amazing. I love the pipe and the way you left the bark on the bottom left beard. 🙌🏻Bravo Alec! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant , the detail is amazing . I’ve just been asked to carve a coal miner for a friend whose late father worked the mines . If it doesn’t work out I’ll just whittle a mole lol . Thanks for the upload , learn a lot 👍
Very, very nice work, I appreciate your keen design sense and well-honed craftsmanship. I'm at last eagerly returning to sculpture and carving after a long career in television, and you've further inspired me. I mention television only because I can further compliment you with some authority on how well lit your videos are and how good your mic placement is -- especially for the wood carving genre! Being able to so clearly hear the wood shave off is priceless for gauging the pressure you're using, really feeling the density of the wood you're working on, etc. Despite academic training in sculpture and design, I expect I'm going to learn a thing or two from you. Thanks so much for making these videos and making them with care. They're a wonderful resource.
Absolutely superb bit of work. Very very impressive indeed great skill and vision and not a pencil line anywhere. Definitely something to aspire to and maybe one day be able to achieve the same end result. Question if I may 🤔 what type of wood are you using ??? Or is it one of those very thick barks that is like a wood ? Any advice or help greatfully recieved. Cheers Les.
@@AlecLaCasseArt wow...awesome. never seen anybody work on wood like that. But nonetheless itscool to know. Thank you for the feedback sir. Bt tbe wsy im new to your channell. I will try to watch all your videos.
EXTRAORDINARIO envidio (ojo pero bien) su habilidad como Ebanista. Ahora ustedes son como bichos raros. Ahora todo en mundo está con la dichosa computadora. Se terminó la cultura de trabajo.bueno dígale a la computadora si puede hacer eso.lo FELICITO DE VERDAD. 👏 👍 ❤
You have fabulously artistic carving skills and the guy has just the character and expression needed. I was thoroughly enjoying the watch and looking forward to the finished product when the video ended abruptly. What's the idea of that? I feel completely cheated! In future please either finish the thing (preferably painted as well) or warn us in advance. I WOULD have subscribed.
Thank you Ray! And sorry you felt that way! The carving was finished by the end of the video and I don’t paint carvings very often but that may change in the future! Thanks
Your talent is and artistry is amazing

Hello,
maybe it seems a bit weird to ask: how do you fasten/fix your piece of wood onto the easel?
I screw the piece of wood to a plywood fixture and then clamp the plywood to the easel using 2” spring clamps.
@@AlecLaCasseArt thank you :)
Your very talented
Thank you very much!
Hola como fijas la madera para que se sostenga en vertical?
Spettacolare! Congratulation ❤
Thank you so much ! ❤️

Hey man where do you get your carving tools
What kind of wood is that? Looks so soft or is your tools extremely sharp??
Both are true! The tools are sharp and the wood is soft! It’s called cottonwood bark.
You practice on clay or wood only?
I do sculpt in clay too!
great work ... love this guy .. the carving that is. Are you working from a photo or are you letting the wood talk to you?
It is a commission and the customer requested his father influence the face of the sailor. So I used a reference photo!
Epic 🎉
