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?
Incredible, and the splits add so much character and compliment it
Thank you so much!

Everyone - Amodius cries tears of joy as it is being brought to life.
Amodius -That brush hurts.
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!
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
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
Continue to work from your heart and soul !
This will become your signature because we are all made in our own special way. What a gift you have.......
Amazing!! The cracks in the wood fit in perfectly. I can’t wait for the next.
Thank you so much!
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 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
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 😊
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!
Only 19 seconds in and you have a new subscription.
That's just from the sketches!!
You definitely captured the personality. Absolutely top notch design and execution. You have an amazing amount of talent!
I really envy you people who can draw/sculpt. I'm retired now, but I sold quite a few pieces in woodworking galleries, all square stuff!
I do enjoy making things and i wish people had more free time to do so!
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!
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!
Amoduis is spectacular you are gifted and your works will be your heritage
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
I didn't think you should be so self conscious because your videos are amazing. The whale one taught me so much.
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
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!
WOW! This is stunning!
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
This is my second time watching Amodius and I am even more moved by his majesty the second time around.
Thank you! I will have to make another lion ish sculpture
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!
That was wonderful to watch. Turned out to be a beautiful work. Thank you and best wishes.
Thank you so much!
I love to watch true artisans creating their pieces. A true artisan is someone who knows in their heart, there is always room to learn, improve their skills and to challenge themselves.
Beautiful! I love that the cracks looks like the cat has seen some fights and bear the scars on his face with pride.
Thank you so much!
You found your calling, and what a gift!❤
Very nice video! Easily got our thumbs up! Was no stupid music, we got to hear the actual sounds of the tools and processes, and the video was narrated nicely. Thank you. Hope your business turns out good.
Thank you so much for the kind encouraging words!
Jonas, I’m just proud of you.
You nailed it.
Thank you so much!
Please publish your sketches..... the fact that the enlarged images are so detailed blows the mind! Pure talant in its truest form, Bravo!!!
Thank you! In my next video i will have my first print release on my website!
Wow! Proud warrior kitty! 😂Love The cracks over The eyes! Look like scars. Impressive work! Love it! ❤
Amodius is beautiful. Always push yourself, challenge yourself. It's good I think to start a big project but mix it in with smaller ones long as you get back to the big one. I've done that before and ended up a year or more later with an unfinished piece.
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!
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.
So Sick and Absolutely Stunning. You are so very talented and a Master of your craft. The Black stand gives your carving a bold contrast. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you design and create your beautiful masterpiece, Thanks.
I love hearing you speak about your process and learning journey with your sculptures. He looks very handsome!
Thank you! i am particularily happy about the angle of his head. It made him look as proud as i wanted him to
I love how intimately honest you are with us as we watch your project unfold.
Highly impressive! 💙
Just beautiful.
A good part is when you bring the color out!!
Fantastic work, Jonas!! I've been considering carving up a log that I've had sitting around for a while now, but was put off by the cracks in it. After seeing your piece however, the cracks do not hinder the outcome. They actually add a nice natural element that works well! Again, great job! Maybe soon I'll get my idea materialized 😉
Thanks Ross! Yeah i got inspirred by other work i saw online with wood that had cracks in it!. I hope you get that idea materialazed brother!
Absolutely incredible how you can make a block of wood turn into something that looks like a real creature!
Thank you! It fascinates me as well! I hope i can acquire some incredibly fogured wood in the future
You talk about exhibitions, ambitions, career plan, etc, but I think you're already living the dream - creating projects like this from your own imagination. Subscribed.
Thank you so much! Some things in my life creates a bit of inconvinience at the cost my energy and it is something i am working towards fixing, But i am very grateful that i am able to create this sculptures currently!
I really appreciate the support!
@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft Your work is fantastic, and I appreciate you taking the time to reply! I'm watching some more of your videos as I type
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
I honestly don't mind you jumping from one area of the sculpture to another.. maybe because I do that as well so its natural and familiar lol
It adds an organic flow to it i guess
Thanks for the input! I bet most people work like that haha, Kinda of controlled chaos
What a gorgeous and regal animal!!!! Absolutely beautiful piece and your drawings are amazing!
Thank you so much!
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
0:57 the TALENT and it’s not even a minute in this is gonna be good
Thank you so much!
It beacem a work of art. It's just as interesting as the wood grain. 👍👍
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!
Absolutely stunning! A job well done!
Thank you! It was quite the journey
You make it seem as if Amodious was always there in the log. Amazing honest talent.
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!
Yes Jonas PLEASE get a vise!!! to secure your wood so you don't get hurt.
Thank you 🙏 your art is amazing 👌🦋💫
Thank you so much! I really should. i got some investing to!
Breathtaking! Simply stunning! You captured such emotion. A regal creature to be sure!
Thank you so much!
Yet another master piece. You said one with water, a humpback whale in a wave or narwhal chasing salmon would be sweet
When you went back inside and posed...i had to laugh. That was great! Oh and it came out gorgeous !!! Wonderful job!!
I think you should keep ypur videos like this. They're nice and simple and we see the whole process and your naration is pleasant.
I ate my lunch while watching this video. The best 20 minutes I have had in a long time. Thanks Jonas.
Thanks! This was a heartwarming comment for me!
Words can't say how incredibly talented you are. Your ability to create such beauty is a true blessing. Thank you for sharing your creations.
Thank you so much! Those words are very motivating
You can put saw dust in the filler to add texture to those spots. It won’t be grain obviously. Amazing work! I enjoy your videos very much.
Bravo! You are very talented. Amodius is beautiful!
This sculpture makes me feel things i thought only hbo really late at night could touch
Absolutely beautiful! Exceptionally well done! I actually like the cracks in the wood as it adds to the character of the sculpture.
The sculpture of Amodius is absolutely amazing. The care and love that went into making this sculpture is just breath taking.
Well.. I have recently found your content, so naturally, I am watching you grow backwards down the number line. It's brilliant man..quality woodwork, shameless plug, and Hawaiian shorts all in one video...but seriously you are highly organized but your delivery is like a calm slow walk, and you managed to cram 150hrs into 20min...and I can tell you will never have a bigger, harder critic than yourself! You make amazing content my dude, thank you.
I'm actually speechless! That sculpture is absolutely stunning!! And so are your drawings, for that matter. Wow!!
I've been enjoying your videos since you began, Jonas. Your talent and dedication is impressive to say the least. Regarding your comment about jumping from project to project and not finishing them, well, I believe you're in good company. Rumor has it Leonardo Da Vinci was notorious for his unfinished works. I guess we should be grateful for the times he felt like finishing the job! Keep working like you are and maybe one day you're name will be spoken of in the same breath... 😉 Troy
You are unbelievably talented! I love everything about this video. The sculpting, the art, the sketches, your from the heart commentary...love it all.
Thank you! I hope i get to make many more here on youtube!
Dont stop making beautiful art
I will probably continue with it as long as life allows me to!
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 👍
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
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.
For securing the logs, look at how woodworkers secure "cookies" to CNCs or router sled tables. Typically, either two fixed dogs and 1 adjustable spreader or 3 or 4 adjustable spreaders /clamps. Others I've seen for chainsaw sculpting have 3 hinged spikes on a frame /base that are driven into the bottom of the log.
Amazing what you do is past art you have a talent and the kindness of a great person take care and thank you
Thank you! I am trying to bring something positive into this world!
HOLYSHIET MY EYES POPPED OUT FROM THE MAGESTIC EPIC SCULPTURE, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE ARTIST!! LFG!!!! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Thank you! I appreciate the support and i will hopefully make the next video enjoyable for you to watch as wel!
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
I LOVE that he's smiling!
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.
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.
I think your style is making absolutely beautiful art. Both your carvings and sketches are amazing
Thank you so much!
As a viewer, I don't mind at all when you work on multiple aspects of it at once, I do similar stuff when I make things and it's nice to see others do too
This is amazing! You have such delicate attention to detail. You’re brilliant!
the "thoughts" in your sketchbook are very impressive. the sculpture is very successful. I would spontaneously put this up at home because I really like cats myself...
Thank you so much! I would be honoured if someone had my sculptures in their homes in the future!
What a beautiful artistic soul you are. Thank you for sharing your gift. Amodius is majestic and proud.
One word….BEAUTIFUL!
I always love listening to you speak about your process and feelings about direction. Amodius is beautiful.
Beautiful sculpture! Thanks for the video.
What a Regal and proud animal you have created.
Thank you! Yes the angle of the head gave him the posture i wanted him to have
Amazing! Congratulations, that carving is beautiful! 👍
Thank you!
I think its a good thing that you don't stick to one spot!! Thats actually an incredibly important skill in art- when you hyperfocus on one area it could become out of 'balance' with the other unfinished areas
So you have the right idea working over the whole piece! Beautiful work as always
Wow, just so Beautiful and Majestic! Love from 🇨🇦❤
Thank you so much!
It's some of those videos that I watched till end without skipping ❤
A wee tip when you screwed together your base you should've went diagonally from the bottom and then they would be hidden and you wouldn't have to clean them up.Apart from that it's a beautiful job and you got my subscription
