This is like the 3rd time I've watched this video! Everytime I do, I pick up something new that I missed ! Thank you Hunter for not only creating these step by step videos, but also including the extreme amount of information in your recent book. Keep the great craftsmanship sir! Bart D'Angelo
I became a full time knife carver about 6 years back. Used rotary tools about 2 years ago, did not like how it was performing. Started watching your videos and realized I was doing it wrong . Thanks for all your advice. I am having a good time carving skulls . Deer hunters like it. They are keeping me bizzy. Thanks again for sharing your work. Love the template idea for fish scales. I use it on gunstocks also. Ray
It is extremely important for a 'wanna be carver' to get real time suggestions for tools and supplies and techniques to assist in getting set-up from a real time very accomplished artisan. Thanks. Muchly appreciated.
I love this one! Outstanding craftsmanship. The true artist can see the finished product before he ever starts to apply his craft. It is evident you are an artist. Well done.
Sweeet! Always room for another skull carver! If you have not already take a look at this page as it has a lot of good info on getting started www.usskullhunter.com/learn-skull-carving
Hey Hunter, just found out I've been missing all your awesome skull giveaways that carved Koi cow skull would've been awesome since I'm a Pisces but congratulations to Becky now I know to check your Facebook every day and hopefully you have a couple more skulls to give away your work is really amazing and inspiring and thanks again for all your wonderful work and your baby girl is gorgeous
Hi love your channel ❤I’m new to carving , I’m a Chippy and at 57 looking to get out of hard labour work as my body is feeling the grind Could u please do a video on doing snake scales , very interesting vids mate cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Being a chippy is hard work! Especially at 57 haha. Send me an email at va862000@yahoo.com. I have a video but it is not public that I think I can send to you on how to carve snake scales.
I accidentally clicked on this- skull carving. That deer skull with the U.S. flag and Lady Liberty turned out amazing. My mind is exploding with ideas what to do...Native American Theme...but now I need a bunch of skulls. :)
I love this skull! What kind of paint are you using and what kind of stain? Dose it matter? I have 3 pig skulls and a racoon skull I'm degreesing today and cant wait to start practsing.
hey bro , this is so amazing ! question : where can i get the statue of liberty drawing that's on this video? i want to try and see if i can carve the head in wood . thanks for the video . Loved it and learned so much . JJ in Tn
very nice indeed. Thanks for showing us. Did you try the turbocarver with a flame shaped bit for the step3 part ? Looking fwd to the turbocarver review.
Hey man! Thanks for watching :) Yeah so you certainly use that type of burr with a Turbo Carver. I use both a Dremel and the Turbo Carver but do seem to use a Dremel more. I will do the full review of the Turbo Carver soon :)
Hunter,,I'm a Blue Collar worker,,Live & Believe in our Rights,, Sometimes I cry at hearing our National Anthem,,This skull should be atop every Flag Pole.What a Very Awesome & touching piece of art. Thanks Hunter from a Kentucky Hunting Boy & God Bless You keep doing what you Love to Do.
Thank you Mike! And yes I know what you mean, I used to ride bulls (and just attend) at rodeos and when they would ride the flag around the rink and play the anthem it always just gets to you! Thanks for watching Mike and I am glad you liked it :)
does it matter how old or how the skull was cleaned as how easy or not possible to do tried a cow skull and jawbone had trouble with both i am sure i t is my inexperence but had to ask thanks keep making great videos
some bone are cleaned with peroxide some i found one in i have is a cow jaw bone left with skin on left out in te weather then boiled to remove skin it is very hard to work with thank you for getting back to me love your videos wirn i could be near as good as you as artist
You bet Jean. So different parts of the skull have different densities so yeah actually the jaw bone is actually a lot more dense than other parts of the skull. If the skull has been over boiled, bleached, or is simply just very weathered it can crumble and chip making it hard to carve. With weathered skulls you can usually just lightly sand the skull and then go from there. Brittle skulls can also be stabilized with a resin to strengthen them.
Hey Mayos! I do that with layers. So I will add a clear coat to the skull, then add a layer of paint or stain, then a clear coat, then stain, etc. If you want to see how I do I t I have a video course (its free) on it at this page www.usskullhunter.com/learn-skull-carving
Hey Neto! That's great! I have a tutorial on how to carve a feather which should be similar to angel wings. You can find it in this page www.usskullhunter.com/learn-skull-carving
Awesome job man! I am glad i stumbled on to your channel! I am a new subscriber for sure! Get a chance check out my channel too! I do more of the collecting of the skulls!
