    Thank you for your wonderful posts. This is true whittling. A knife and a piece of wood. Perfect for sitting under a tree or on the porch. It’s As much meditation as carving. Anyone with a sharp pocketknife can do it. Hurray for you, sir....

    Thank you for the amazing content! I bought the beavercraft spoon starter kit and like it a lot. I made your fox 2 times, a spoon, started your flower tutorial but cut of the tip of my finger, whilst working on it, a part of the flower split off. Recovered now after 3weeks and still in a bandage, I just made this bunny. This hobby is so relaxing (and a bit dangerous), keep up the good work!!!

    I've learned so much from all your wonderful videos! Thank you for dedicating time to share your expertise, you have enabled me to discover a new hobby - just finished my bunny and I couldn't be happier! One thing I found very challenging was trying to visualise a 3D object from a 2D drawing but your step-by-step really helped the process

      Once you are able to visualize what to do next, the whole process becomes faster as your more confident in your cuts. This extends to carving your own creations without any guides as well :)

    Great fun and relaxing too. I like the format with the side window. Well done.
    Would you do something on finishes (oil, paint, etc), or is that not your thing?
    I visited your website too. I like it - it's got your clear, simple style and well thought out.
    Thank you. 👍

    • @CarvingisFun
      @CarvingisFun  4 роки тому +2

      Thanks!
      I have been collecting finishes and will do a video on them in the future once I learn more and experiment some. Right now I am liking watercolors and stains, but want to experiment more with waxes and lacquers before I make the video.

    Hey, absolute beginner here with an embarrassingly easy question: what do you use to cut your basswood pieces in half for smaller projects like these? I can only get the longer basswood pieces and I don't have any tools except my carving knife. I'd appreciate a reply. Cheers!

    This is a different knife than I usually see you use. It also appears you were making bigger cuts. Are those two things correlated?

    • @CarvingisFun
      @CarvingisFun  7 місяців тому +1

      Just an older video before I saved up some extra money and got the tools I have now.
      I also think I was rushing more to keep the video shorter, so made some bigger cuts.
      All the process of becoming a better youtube creator I guess.

    Bonsoir Carving si fun,
    J’ai regardé avec beaucoup d’intérêt la vidéo du petit lapin. Merci pour cette vidéo. Je vois que vous avez utilisé le couteau Beavercraft pour sa réalisation. Personnellement je pense que je vais utiliser les 3 Couteaux Flexcut dégrossissage, taille et finition pour sa réalisation. Car en regardant de plus près la lame du couteau utilisé, j’ai trouvé,que celle-ci n’est pas assez souple pour faire les angles divers du lapin.
    En ce qui concerne le lapin, faites-vous un lapin assis qui a les oreilles dressées ?
    Avez-vous une adresse mail personnelle ? Bien à vous,
    Michèle

      I do have a bunny project where it is sitting up and the ears are pointed up:

      Both Flexcut and Beavercraft are decent, but Flexcut is a bit nicer.
