Dude, one day you should totally publish your sketches in a book. They are so exquisite. Also the carving is amazing. Blind moan
Thanks man i appreciate that! You know that sounds like an interesting idea!
yes, a sketch book please !!@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft
I kept rewinding in the beginning. Those were insane drawings
You're one of my favorite artists on earth mr wewd!
Yes! Please!
Wow, the natural cracks gave it an aspect like it was scars, but not necessarily a warrior's battle scars, but something more like life scars, from different experiences, which made it seem like Amodius is really wise, calm and imposing and has a lot to teach us. This is amazing! Thank you for your work and your words!
Thank you so much! Its kind of exactly how i interpretated the scars. Very interesting!
@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft he
Holy wow, your sketches are AMAZING. This piece is also very beautiful. Glad I found you.
Thank you so much 😀
ppl
Dame that is beautiful art.

Your ability to bring the log's character and flaws so naturally into the figure's features is truly inspiring.
Thank you so much!
You are a credit to the artistic community, your tenacity when you're met with difficulties is absolutely legendary. Your sculptures just continue to get better and better, I didn't even know that was possible because they were already incredible. The fact that you kept the cracks, and didn't attempt to repair them resulted in a STUNNING end. The cracks are as much a part of him as the delicate detail work, good for you for seeing that inside of that log. I genuinely had tears going down my face when you started applying oil. So proud of you Jonas, and honored to watch your journey!
Thank you Rebekah! This truly was a challenge for me. I got a bit emotional myself at the end when i was editing and started reflection over what a long, but great journey making this sculpture was
You're so wholesome and inspiring, I love it. Your work is incredible (as are just the sketches!). And I love how human and honest you are, you admit to making mistakes and learning, and approach it with such a refreshing and pleasant attitude that every setback is just a chance to learn more. Personally, I wouldn't get so anxious about the filming and editing, it's refreshing to see some real working and thought processes, without it being over edited to appear 'perfect for youtube' - in my opinion anyway. I really hope you get the success you deserve.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. The way i edit is very simple and easy to overcome for me so it is great to hear that people appreciate that type of editing
@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft I agree with lordflay, it's a nice, refreshing change from the typical way UA-camrs edit their videos and I enjoy hearing your thoughts and ideas throughout the video, together with the workshop audio
You’re so talented! Do you teach drawing lessons?
Creativity, and how beautiful it is to show us a work like this for the movie (Black Panther) and the African ornament beautifying his neck👑Wakanda forever
Incredible, and the splits add so much character and compliment it
Thank you so much!
You're so talented, and the way your channel is growing, you should reach out to these companies whose tools you want to use. I think you would be surprised by the generosity of some of the companies. Not all, but anything helps. Thanks for taking us along 👍 amazing job.
Thank you so much! Yes i probably should. They do cost quite a lot to buy
Absolutely STUNNING ! I love how you showed us your sketches, they are AMAZING ! And talked through your process.
You should be very proud !
Thank you so much! I have been thinking about dedicating an entire month just to sketch
Looks great, the tones of the wood really contrast well. The cracks give the look of age and character for him.
Thank you so much!
In case it helps you, the final talk you had with the audience about your first sculpture and what you wanted to do is what got me to subscribe. It's wonderful to see people coming into the realization of what they truly love in life, and to see the difference from your first, and to this latest Amodius, is breath taking. Beautiful, stunning work, and I look forward to many more over the years!
immediately shared this to my friends, your sketches at the start, your voice is very calming, you show your whole experience and touch ups really made me think you had 1mill subs MINIMUM, definitely deserves so much more attention
Thank you! If i where to hit that within a year from now it would be a dream come true!
Amazing!! The cracks in the wood fit in perfectly. I can’t wait for the next.
Thank you so much!
You definitely captured the personality. Absolutely top notch design and execution. You have an amazing amount of talent!
WOW! This is stunning!
Amazing! I admire your work, master Jonas! A spectacle for learning and filigree execution, attention to every detail of creation! Thank you for your videos! Inspiration, peace and goodness to you!
Thank you so much! I will keep trying my best
That's a really cool sculpture, compliments for the commitment!
I can totally relate to you wanting to start another project while you were halfway through this one: I write stories (hopefully one day they'll be published), and over the years I've been working on a book I was always tempted to start working on another idea.
Thank you so much! Yeah its a ttest for sure to finish a project
I love how intimately honest you are with us as we watch your project unfold.
Highly impressive! 💙
First video I've ever seen of yours that popped up in my suggestions.
I'm blowin away! An absolutely amazing piece. Beautiful work.
Definitely going to be watching more of your work.
You have amazing talent.
Just WOW ❤😊
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!
@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft your welcome 😊
Gorgeous! I have a fondness for cats of all sizes. An incredible piece. Well done! Thank you for sharing. Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you so much!
The most anticipated video for me and we'll worth the wait such an amazing piece of work what a talent 👏 🙌 ❤
Thank you so much!
I've just discovered your channel and I'm soooo impressed with your work! I'm a woodturner and I'm gradually building up the courage to do some carving. You've given me lots of inspiration. I can't wait to see some more videos from you. Keep up the great work 👍
That was wonderful to watch. Turned out to be a beautiful work. Thank you and best wishes.
Thank you so much!
You can limit the need for the bottom to be completely flat if you make a small indention in it like a lot of bottles have. It is made there so it will stand more stable.
Also very nice carvings. And I really find your sketches truly amazing. =)
Thank you so much!
Not done watching, but I wanted to compliment you on your amazing sketches.
yeah, incredible, on the level of the artists that worked on LOTR.
Thank you! Its a part of the creatin i enjoy very much
Beautiful sculpture! Thanks for the video.
I just stumbled across your site today and I have to say you're one of the most gifted artists I've ever seen. I've never seen anyone leave the cracks in a piece of art like this. They always try to fill it in our cut around it or hide it some way when everyone knows that all old wood has imperfections... that's what makes them beautiful. You showcase these and make beautiful art with them. Thank you.
I am enjoying the movement from one area to another. It helps me over view the entire sculpture or my seeing the item as a whole and visualize the finished product.
Awesome work. Quite inspiring too. Thanks for posting.
What a beautiful artistic soul you are. Thank you for sharing your gift. Amodius is majestic and proud.
Bravo! You are very talented. Amodius is beautiful!
I always love listening to you speak about your process and feelings about direction. Amodius is beautiful.
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you create this magnificent sculpture. Thanx for sharing 👏
Thank you so much!
Extremely Well Done, I must say you are one of the best wood carved that I've seen on youtube. Congratulations on this Beautiful lion craver, Thanks
Absolutely stunning! A job well done!
Thank you! It was quite the journey
Your comment about wanting to start a new project halfway through the current project had me nodding my head in total understanding. I’m glad you videoed this, it was fascinating to watch the process. So beautifully done. Not only are you great at carving, but your drawings are gorgeous!
The sculpture of Amodius is absolutely amazing. The care and love that went into making this sculpture is just breath taking.
Wow...this looks AWESOME!
I just found your channel and you just blew me away. That has to be the most beautiful sculpture ever. You are truly a very talented person
Amoduis is spectacular you are gifted and your works will be your heritage
Wow! Proud warrior kitty! 😂Love The cracks over The eyes! Look like scars. Impressive work! Love it! ❤
This is amazing! You have such delicate attention to detail. You’re brilliant!
I just discovered your channel and got really in love with your work. Such a talent that you have. It's so heartwarming to see people that still have talent in a time where internet is filled with talentless people.
Absolutely beautiful! Exceptionally well done! I actually like the cracks in the wood as it adds to the character of the sculpture.
Amazing, really cool sculpture ✨️
Fantastic!!!! Congratulation 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fantastic work again! Keep it up! Your original owl was also beautiful! You definitely have a style.
Wow que escultura mas fascinante !!! 💖 tu trabajo es increíble, te felicito...saludos desde Argentina
Awesome! Great job. 🤗😊🤗
thank you so much!
Spectacular! When you added the oil, I found myself welling up with tears as the oil slid down from his eye. I understand the feeling of completing a carving, and I felt your sense of accomplishment in that moment.
Amazing! Congratulations, that carving is beautiful! 👍
Thank you!
Very inspiring, thank you!
I have watched a few different wood sculptors on UA-cam. You are the first I have seen that TRULY gave life and personality to your sculpture. It looked like Amodius was in the log the whole time. All you did was remove the wood from around his face and freed him. You are an incredible artist!
Woooowwww, this is a truly Majestic and big sculpture. I always knew that you could do it. You truly are a real Artist Mr.Jonas. I thank you for doing these great videos. I can not wait for your next video.
Thank you so much! I will be starting the designing process for it today! I feel motivated!
Beautiful art piece. Well done.
Stunning piece of work 👌
Breathtaking! Simply stunning! You captured such emotion. A regal creature to be sure!
Thank you so much!
Wow fantastic job 👏👏👏👏👏
What a beautiful and very regal boy! You knew exactly what you wanted and he is definitive proof that you have become a master carver, bravo!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much! I am proud of the skill i already have, But fortunately i have a long way to go. Looking forward to continue on the road!
It beacem a work of art. It's just as interesting as the wood grain. 👍👍
You found your calling, and what a gift!❤
What a gorgeous and regal animal!!!! Absolutely beautiful piece and your drawings are amazing!
Thank you so much!
You're a talented artist, Jonas, this is a think of beauty! Love the pendants as well.
I remember having the same feeling of trepidation you've talked about (taking commissioned work and not wanting to let the client down) when I started my knife & tool sharpening business. If you're comfortable and confident in your artistic skills, just make sure you discuss everything as much as possible with the client, and give yourself plenty of time to do a good job. Don't set unrealistic deadlines for yourself until you have a feel for how long something will take.
What an amazing work of art!!! Looks incredibly beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful! Superb work! 😊
Thank you so much!
Amazing work!!👏👏👏👏👏
Well done, Jonas! A very inspiring video that I could relate to.
I wish you the best of luck with your endeavor.
Aw, the loving strokes at the end. This is so beautiful.
Thank you! Yeah me and Amodius developed a friendly relationship as i created him
As someone who watches a lot of videos where people make, or restore things, I can assure you that there is no right order to do anything. Maybe with electronics hold up ha ha. I enjoy watching the creative process and what works for you is perfect. Just keep creating. We are our own worst critics, so be kind to yourself as much as you can. I know this is going to turn out amazing!
Omfg! Absolutely magnificent and majestic. I love how the cracks look like scars going down the side of the face. You’ve definitely outdone yourself! I got a bit teary eyed at the end lol
Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear this since i have gotten so confident with the way i edit my videos
Absolutely beautiful!! Well done!
Thank you so much!
It’s amazingly beautiful! ❤
Truly amazing! You are a true artist and craftsman!
Helt fantastisk! 👏👏
awesome, simply daamn awesome work!
Love it! It looks amazing.🐯
Thank you!
That looks really awesome 👌😎
What a powerful creation! I'm really amazed by your creativity and skill doing this. Love your work ♡
Thank you!
Absolutely stunning. It was challange looks like but you smashed ! Well done and Iam looking forward to your next project !
Thank you so much!
i love how the cracks and darker line in the wood just bring it more caracter in the end like an old beat up wild and sage animal. very nice work
This is BY FAR my favorite sculpture I have ever seen. I'd love to have him in my home, but since that is unlikely to happen I wish great happiness to anyone who has him as a guest. Looking forward to your next work! :)
Thank you so much! I am very interested in where he eventually will end up staying

Everyone - Amodius cries tears of joy as it is being brought to life.
Amodius -That brush hurts.
I’m amazed at your process and the incredible results. I just want to comment on one thing you said about having or creating a “style”: this is a very common thing to worry about for all artists across many different fields. I’ve felt the positive and negative aspects of this motivation throughout the 30-something years I’ve been writing songs, and if I’ve learned anything it’s that as long as you stay true to your motivations to produce your very best, then your own style will form around you. That is, there is no effort needed to steer towards “different for different’s sake” or away from the natural influence from artists or works you admire. The more you can forget about those sorts of pulls and pushes, the more your work will find its own common thread. And for what it’s worth, from what I’ve seen of your work and process so far, you’re absolutely doing it right. Tons of respect mate, really impressive.
really beautiful work thanks for sharing
Absolutely love this, the sculpture and the fact that you did not hide the beautiful wood, but instead used the character and enhanced it with the oil finish. For future reference, when building you box bases, look up using wooden dowels instead of screws as "fasteners", I use this technique all the time and along with good glue, it works amazing.
Thank you! Yeah i did not put too much time into the box base since it is just for exhibition. I would like to build one in walnut for the fnialized box and i will make sure to use dowels.
This is staggeringly good. I don't think I've ever seen such a fluid shape in wood! So much personality. And your sketches are gorgeous too! I literally subscribed in the first minute, just looking at the sketches.
Jonas,
The piece is impressive. I have so enjoyed you “sharing” your journey, growth, and accomplishments.
I recently bought myself an “End Grinder” and several burrs. I am so happy with it and the potential. I know you will use your unit a lot.
By the way, your videos are so “instructive” for sculptors… translating from sketch on paper to “sculpted art” is key. Please keep teaching. You are gifted!
Best
I love seeing you create the sculpture and I also love hearing your thought processes throughout!
Thank you so much!
When you went back inside and posed...i had to laugh. That was great! Oh and it came out gorgeous !!! Wonderful job!!
Wow, your woodworking is amazing but so is your artwork. Those sketches are beautiful!!
a pleasure watching you work.
Beautiful! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Amazing 💙💙💙
Jonas, I’m just proud of you.
You nailed it.
Thank you so much!
This is amazing!! Great work!! And following your dream is definitely the way to go!
Thank you so much!
Just stunning contrasts and flow. Wow.....
Thank you so much!
Wow 😮 the talent you have is extraordinary ❤️😍❤️
Absolutely majestic! No other words. Wonderful approach, to the whole project and its different stages. Great job, Jonas! Very inspiring!
Thank you Iona! It was a joy to make it, But the last 20% of the project was honestly a bit of a struggle since i really felt like starting the next project.
