    I've had this project in mind for several years, now. And when BeaverCraft sent me these knives to try out, I decided it was the perfect time to carve it!
    I thought it was real nice of them to send me a package of bandaids too, just in case.
    I really enjoy the peace and quiet of carving with hand tools. It's really relaxing!
    I've been following the work of a fellow wood carver for many years, now. He lives along the creek back up in the hills. Today me and Pearl decided to pay him a visit. Here's an example of one of his recent carvings...and here's one of his older works. When it comes to building, he's a master of his trade. The beaver was the very first wood carver. And I"ve always admired his work.
    "What's in there? It looks like the Beavers used to live in there, anyway. They've been woodcarving a lot longer than I have. There's a ready-made, beaver-carved walking stick, right there. Come on Pearl!"
    I really like all the blade profiles of these knives. There is a shape for just about everything that you need.
    Carving like a Beaver is a lot of fun!
    Pearl enjoys carving like a Beaver, too!
    She's doing a pretty good job of it.
    I use the wood burner to add details to the fur.
    If you're interested in carving like a Beaver, there is a link in the description where you can purchase a fine set of carving tools.
    Thanks for watching! I'll see you on the next one!

    When I was a little girl my favorite part of my weekend was Sunday mornings. Not for the typical kid entertainment but rather Bob Ross. I'd watch him for hours, totally relaxed and enthralled. I'm almost 40 now and watching you gives me that exact same feeling I had when I was younger. Thank you!
    My Mom is fully disabled and she's wanted a walking stick for awhile now, her forearm crutches don't support her correctly and canes put too much pressure on her hips. I wish I had your skills to carve a personalized one for her, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
    Give Pearl love, she always makes me miss my Pebbles; I should say more, I miss her constantly. She too would have crawled right up to that beaver den and searched with me. She was a miniature blue-grey brindle dachshund, she passed a few days before her 21st birthday. Best 21 years I've ever spent.

    I was just sitting around thinking back when I was a kid, going off in the woods and carving arrows and spears, and decided I'd look up some carving videos and I ended up here. Seeing this amazing piece of art and reminiscing of how peaceful it is to do this has got me wanting to start it back up. Keeping my hands busy with art makes life so much better and its truly time well spent. But incredible job on that, gotta be one of if not the best carving ever I love it.
