Welcome back Kevin. As usual, another great whittle. I love the eyes on these Santas. That was a big chunk of wood but you always make it look so easy. There will definitely be a couple of these for friends this year, thank you for the inspiration.

Complimenti per gli intagli stupendi che fai, ma anche sentire il rumore del coltello che intaglia il legno, è una sensazione straordinaria. Sei stato la prima persona che ho visto intagliare il legno, e da subito mi hai trasmesso la voglia di intagliare. Grazie 😊

Hi Kevin, wonderful carving & wonderful to watch you carve. What size of gouge did you use in this carving? All your carvings bring me right into the image you are carving & makes me feel I can have a conversation with each character. That is truly the sign of a master carver. You are indeed a master at your art. Thank you.

Hey Kevin Don here I wanted to ask you about your carving station. Do you have a block screwed to your work surface to push against?
@KevinCoates987 ай бұрын
Hey Don. With my day to day carving I always use a piece of wood to hold the carving against. I will do it with my videos once I get a better setup. It takes a lot of strain off your hands and gives you better control with the knife
