    Nice!!!
    Your comment in the beginning, about size, was spot on.
    I spent a year carving nothing but the simple Santa's...42 of them, at 1x1x6.
    Then I went to carve something out of a 2x2x6...OMG, what a difference. That will take some getting use to.
    Thanks for the inspiration!

  • @master_X_72
    @master_X_72 2 роки тому +4

    Thanks Doug 👍. I can't draw, like at all, but when I see a finished carving I can make it my own and recreate a similar finished product and love doing it! Just a knife (added a small gouge and a V tool) like you suggested in your what do I need vid and I'm going for hours!

    You're right Make it your own. Many people try to make exactly what you curve That's very difficult to do. Lot of the other sites I go to you see the same figure all the time it would be a spirit or anything like that Paul

    Thank you so much for another tutorial for us beginners. By the way, you are "guilty" of having myself engaging in this beautiful, relaxing and rewarding hobby. Thanks to you, I found in what spend my free hours now that I'm retired. Well... not that much "free hours" and not that much "retired" when you have two daughters and four grand-kids that ask for help int heir day-to-day duties, but anyway... any minute free is dedicated to learn, try, and advance in woodcarving. Thank you very much, Doug. Keep up the good work in your channel and never stop gifting us with your videos.

    I started carving years ago. I went to a carving class, but I was always doing a different project from the class. I had a difficult time getting any assistance from the instructor. The class was at the Senior Center and I had to pay a dues. I had a bad experience with an individual mocking me. I was bullied from third grade until I graduated from highschool. Then the COVID-19 pandemic stopped the class. I've spent a lot of money on carving supplies. Also, I've subscribe to Woodcarving Illustrated magazine for years. I'd go to Artsy in Wood sponsored by the Disability group from Dayton Ohio. I love to carve Celtic designs and weaving designs. I'm interested in Chip Carving and have ordered a kit, but I haven't started yet. I've got many carvings, but I haven't finished them. I majored in art and psychology in college. Art is a process not the product. I do have a lot of basswood squares that would be perfect for this project. I'm going to save this video.
