After hours of hardwork, sweat, and literal blood because of lot of cuts on my fingers, I finally made my first carving.. It's a turtle, my favorite animal.. It's actually ugly af but I'm proud of it! Still hoping to improve..
Oo a turtle! Might make one, i actually found a block of wood which is awesome! I miss wood cutting
This comment made me laugh
Stephen King wood be proud 👏
FUCK YEA!. Imma aim for an owl.
Mood, I've only made HP style wands so far, working on a flower now
This looks smooth as butter, meanwhile im here sliding all over the wood cuz its way harder than i expected 😂🤦♀️
They prob have softer wood or something
You need to try basswood. We use it in the video
The things that restrict us in the expression of our craft, teach us how to work with the world around us. Get an off cut, introduce yourself to your material, find it’s and your strengths and weaknesses. Crafts a journey. Or do as beaver said, the artisan chooses.
😀😀😀😀😀😀
Same 😢
So, I've been wanting to carve wooden figures for months nearly a year already, but I wasn't sure how to start. Watching this video, at 2 in the morning. Gave me the biggest inspiration, I am ready to put weeks, months, and even years of hard work into this skill.
How is your carving going for you.
@@efrainsaune139 lol I hope he's gotten started
Don’t be shy drop a link with some pics 👀
You purple turtle where the carvings at bro!!!
@@marumomoloto4455 Inspiration went to sleep that night and never woke up again
Just got a woodcarving kit for Christmas, super excited to try it out! Thanks for the tips!
That is cool, just don’t get cut I had 10 stitches in my thumb and it sucks
Ayyyy me 2
@@groverbundy899 surprisingly I only managed to cut myself twice so far (both shallow) and I’m still enjoying carving a lot, hope you healed up though!
@@groverbundy899 Please be careful and wear cutting gloves or at least a safety tape
@@hawkfeather537 how did it go
“Make sure you wrap your fingers with safety tape” watching this with a chunk missing from my thumb, definitely do that 😅
Same here 😂
Watching this made me remember I have been working with cherry wood which is exponentially harder than basswood, the entire time I am carving I think "it does not look like this much strength is needed".
I've come a long way in wood carving, starting from a young age. This video brought me joy in knowing I figured out most of this stuff on my own or from my grandfather, who was a carpenter.
Wow! Glad that you got great memories watching our video
I just got my spoon carving kit yesterday . I've always been interested n carving. I'm going too try basswood, I want too learn how too make the basic cuts, before I get started on a project.
Thanks for these tip videos.
Wow. I'm a big fan of you. I'm also make car like you :D
how did it go
My kit is shipping. I'm so excited, I can't help it! I'm also needs to learn more about tipes of woods...
By the way... How is your wood carving work (after two years)?
After 2 years mu carving skills haven't improved much. After a bad cut on my finger. I stopped for a while.
A month or so, I started carving/ attempting to carve again. Right now I'm just learning how to make basic cuts.
I felt inspired after having done a decent pumpkin carve this halloween after accidentally doing this that you're doing 05:26 but as i know from many works. Pumpkins rot and get soggy over time. Now i feel like trying out these more delicate moves on wood. Thanks for the extra tips in the video!
Glad that you like the video. It's great idea to try woodcarving as wood doesn't get soggy over time
I'm thinking of getting into carving so, I don't know how goo they are for carving. But I've always loved red wood trees. They're just so beautiful and have a wonderful beautiful red to them.
They are a hard wood tree, so it would require a very sharp and sturdy knife to carve something from that. I know its a old post and you probably figured it out, but ah well.
“Help cut more wood with thumb. This is all for today.”
I chuckled a couple of times. It was just good to see someone working the wood.
My grandfather carved wood, he did it so beautifully, sadly he has alzheimers now and cant get out of bed. Wood carving has been an interest of mine for a while, I remember carefully wiping his sculptures from any dust when I was little. This is such a beautiful hobby, it connects you to nature, and how we, as people used to be. Thank you
It's great that your grandfather carved so many projects. Would be great if you return to wood carving and enjoy this relaxing hobby
I’m just getting started on spoon carving - thank you!
Been trying to learn woodcarving on my own and just got to the shaping part for one of my projects. Hopefully I can get it to look ok!
Recently started watching your videos but I have always had a passion for wood carving I believe with the proper tools and your videos I will be able to make some nicer woodwork ..thank you BeaverCraft...
I’m getting into wood carving, this is perfect! Thank you,
I've always wanted to learn how to do wood cutting. I've always appreciated the art of it. How long the thing's that are created can stay around for years to come so cool. Does anyone know the basic tools one needs to start off. Thanks so much.😍
Great that you want to try wood carving. It's really easy to start with spoon carving and you can find a starter spoon carving kit here: bit.ly/34G5Rk0
Well you need energy and passion. Plus a customer!
@@BeaverCraftTools it seems like quite a healthy hobby. What can go wrong?
The kit he’s linking to is $55.95. There are cheaper and just as good kits.
I mean you can first start with only a regular pocket knife like an Opinel for 9$ then if you are really into it but some more tools. Also you can go for second hand tools as old tools are often been taken care of and not used for long years. Just need a sharpening and it is as good as a new one
I’m just getting started in wood carving myself and am wanting to make things to sell and make money, this is very helpful!
I really liked your video. I'd like to see more videos from this channel.
Love your carvings very elegant! Thank u for sharing !
Thank you, Angel
i just carved my first walking stick it came out fair and im proud of it but there is room for improvement of course. i didnt watch any carving vide0s till now and i learned that i used all unsafe and thumbs down moves to make my stick lucky i got my fingers still thanks for the video now im into two kinds of beaver crafts
Walking stick is a good project to carve. Wow! You didn't watch any videos. It's great. And the greatest news that you still got your fingers 😁
I'm finaly ending my first project it's a little heart and I'm going to make another to my dad, thanks for the tips!❤
Your safety tape is the same as vet-wrap, for bandaging animals! That's such a clever use for it, I never would have thought of it. Haha
Great price, too!
I have a huge basswood tree in my backyard so I guess I'm kinda lucky!
Nice introduction video. Love you put beginner in the title
정성이 가득하군요 섬세한 작업 잘 봤습니다
I freind of mine recommended I give wood sculpture a try. Since the last time I sculpted anything was a plaster of paris kangaroo in high school, this channel will likely prove an invaluable reference.
I love the video.This is something I have thought about learning for a long time. I can't watch it with the sound on. The beat of the music gave me a headache. I'm so glad there are captions.
Sorry and we glad it was helpful!
Hello. I’ve been looking into wood carving as a means to learn a new hobby and maybe make some profit from the craft. What types of wood would you suggest beginners use and is it possible to carve hardwoods like this? Thanks and I loved the video.
Thank you. You really help me thanks. 👍👌👌👍
I was inspired by all the stuff you can make and its easy like drawing
I bought the spoon knife and the whittling knife, very sharp and the price was right.
Glad that you like the knives, Peter 😁! Wish you enjoyable wood carving!
Thank you....!!!!
Great skills and technique 👍
Glad you liked it!
Perfect job & beautiful,,, what kind of wood do you use please?
Thank you 😁. We used basswood
good video ,are there lefthanded knives or does any knife work with both hands
good video, thank you for tips
Im new to all this and I love the videos and am very excited to do well at this hobby. I have a basic ten carving set and I'm trying to find a video on what each tool does and what side of it o use plus I'm left handed??? Can you help
Hi Tammy, to help you with this issue I need to figure out what exactly the set do you have. Is this S10 - Wood Carving Set of 12 Knives: bit.ly/35F6ASN?
hey beginnerquestion here: How should I consider to resharpen my tools? They have curved blades, nothing to simply rubb over a stone I guess. Thanks.
Thank you for your question, Etherial. We have an unique strop solution for hook knives here: ua-cam.com/video/KxHElQu7Nl4/v-deo.html
My favorite wood is olive wood , I subscribed an I interested in this spoon kit. Is there a promo code? Thanks
Hasil ukiran tangan yang bagus tuan, anda seorang seniman profesional..
Salam 👋
Great video 👍
I don't know yet. Just started carving. What would you recommend?
Video was very informative 👌
Favorite kind of wood i could never pick just one i love them all
Nice works. Thank you
Thanks for the video
Great video! I have just subscribed.
I'm currently carving with Huon Pine from a shed we have full of it.
Where do you get wood blocks of that size? Everything I could find was quite small
The biggest size of basswood that we have is here: bit.ly/34uBgGg
i really like koa or mahogany wood, i’m unsure how easy they are for wood carving, but they’re wonderful for instruments they sound and look real pretty i think c:
got a carving kit for birthday. thatnks!
Enjoy!
Good work thank you soo much
I usually jump in too far, but i think the spoon would be great. Retired Florist, so I have years of cutting away from my self, and I can draw pretty well and sculpt a little. I am looking to making a spoon to start.
Is basswood a good starting wood? I’m new to the hobby. Thanks in advance
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your comment.
Basswood is the softest wood for carving, therefore it is very smart to begin your carving journey from this kind of material.
Wish you enjoyable carving with BeaverCraft!
Is there any specific type of wood you use or prefer? Or any sort of wood is good to go with??
We recommend using basswood as it's softwood and it fits great to every beginner

Quick question, what carving tools are you using? Is there a basic carving tool kit that would be good for beginners?
@@morganpeterson3363 i believe he is using the beaver craft wood carving knife hook set
Allways Pappeln
Is it better to use soft wood or hardwood for carving? Looking to get into some chainsaw carvings.
Softwood is easier to cut
We use only hand tools and for carving basswood is one of the best wood.
Thank you.
Interested
I'm loved watching it
Thanks for watching
The wood I like the most is probably an oak or mountain ash defiantly my favourite tress as well as evergreen and silver birch
What if I wanted to make a katana handle and what kind of coating should I use to prevent splinters?
Try to follow these steps:
1) Sand the wood with a palm sander and 80-grit sandpaper to smooth out the wood overall.
2) Change the sandpaper to a finer grit, such as 120, to further smooth the wood.
3) Use a putty knife to fill any nail holes or cracks you don't want to show with wood filler.
4) Select a finish that you prefer for your katana handle.
Just got a wood carving kit for father's Day, your video makes it look so easy. Think I need to build some muscle, I found the wood alot harder than expected. Do you have any videos on sharpening the chisels
Glad that you got the carving kit, Neil. Yes, we have a video on sharpening the chisels here: ua-cam.com/video/SNVWtI8lL7A/v-deo.html Wondering, what wood do you use for carving?
@@BeaverCraftTools at the moment I haven't bought any wood yet. I only just got the kit and two blanks came with it. One light coloured and one redwood
@@neilbeedham2122 It's great! If you got a spoon blank from BeaverCraft, it's basswood, so you'll have no problems carving it
@@BeaverCraftTools ok I will order one
this video was super cool
If anyone can help, please can you recommend some easy-to-cut woods; all the stuff I’ve used had been really tough to cut throuh
We recommend using basswood as it's the most suitable wood for beginners
Thank You.
Very impressive
Bonaie wood. Sry if I miss spelled it. I also like thery big chunks of bark wood. From Canada.
Hi BeaverCraft what is the best wood to practice on?
Hi Andrey, the best wood to practice is basswood as it's soft enough to work on
Great thanks very much 👍🤩😍
Thanks much
Maple so far and walnut are My 2 top favorites to carve
I was kinda looking for something that could be done with the beginners knife. Like maybe a phone stand, where you put the phone into a little pocket like space in between the wood ends. Any suggestions?
Great idea! For this project you can use C2 cutting knife: amzn.to/2DJVEav
@@BeaverCraftTools thanks
Ok what brand name tools do you recommend. I'm new to this
We're the BeaverCraft company and we manufacture all the tools on our own. You can find the tools here: bit.ly/2XTcPQn
I found a log on the street, never had a carving tool in my life. Hopefully I'll survive the next few hours.
Wish you enjoyable woodcarving!
How'd it go?
@@jc6744 the log was very hard ash. I have ordered some linden wood and carved my initials and some squiggly lines, like a bas relief. It was very fun. Now I wait for another piece of linden wood to carve. I think I enjoy making bas relief style designs now!
@@user-rd3rf3ft8e Glad that you like linden wood. Wish you enjoyable woodcarving!
@@BeaverCraftTools Thank you! It's very fun and relaxing!
I learned so much already! Where can I find the safety tape? I never heard about that before. That would have been great to have for the time I accidentally cut the tip off my finger. XD Whoops!
Hurray! Finally we've got Safety Tape you've been seing in all our tutorials. Check it out on Amazon👉 amzn.to/3mGYlOR
