    The way you give closeups of how you move the tools and the grips you use is great. Many thanks.

    I love how the bird couldn’t resist the walnuts once they were being served out of that beautiful bowl :)

      At first, it really wasn’t sure. The beginning shot took hours for it to appear. The end shot took 10 minutes… I like to think it was the bowl… but I think it’s just becoming more brave

    Beautiful bowl. Very gutsy finishing work on the bird young man!!!
    Watching you is getting me nearer and nearer to returning to carving.

    Just discovered you. Will be watching more/all of your stuff. I've dabbled in wood carving before and want to pick it up again. I have a specific project in mind that I would really like to turn out well. Thanks for putting yourself out there :)

    I think you should also list out your tools, and where to buy new versions if yours are not available. Would be kindly appreciated.

    • @samuelalexandershapes
      @samuelalexandershapes  26 днів тому

      That’s a good suggestion. As in provide alternative brands and smiths?

    Cute wee birdy bowl, hope your MIL appreciates it! Wanted to ask- what brand of strop do you use Samuel, and your preferred leather/hide type (kangaroo etc) ? Thank you

    • @samuelalexandershapes
      @samuelalexandershapes  23 дні тому +1

      Thank you!
      Good question. To be honest, a well profiled knife should get along with any stop. There are debates that favour expensive kangaroo leather but this is just something I made… a piece of old off-cut leather from a leather tannery in London. Suede side up. I haven’t been too fussy and to has served me well! I’d say that I’d I was to make another, id look to find a piece of leather that isn’t too thick, nor too squishy

    Hey man, great and inspiring video! I see that you have a fiskars X7 hachet, I'm thinking of getting one myself, do you recommend it for beginner wood carving purposes?

    • @samuelalexandershapes
      @samuelalexandershapes  Місяць тому +2

      Hey there! Thanks for you kind words. Im glad you’re enjoying watching along. I only use this hatchet for splitting wood. I wouldn’t use it for carving at all really. For beginners, I recommend a carving axe from Wood Tools. These are well balanced and proportionately designed for carving. 🙏

    Only people who watch this video should be allowed to own these bowls. They'd then know what they have.
