If your a beginner do yourself a favor and dont carve hard woods. It slows you down and is hard on your tools. This wood spirit took a while to carve with the Dremel 4000.

This reminds me alot of a wood species found in my neck of the woods. We call it ironwood, or hop hornbeam. Ostrya virginiana is the real name. Its hard to work with if it gets a chance to dry out for sure. Green work isn't as bad, but that's another type of carving. It is so full of resin and silicates that it dulls tools fast. Its easy to forget that New Zealand is an island, and has a limited variety of tree species. It sure looks nice in pictures, though.

Cheers William. Yes I have heard of that ironwood. 👍

I’m new here guys but needed to know does green wood have any draw backs ? Also what’s the best green wood to carve ?

@williamfawkes8379 3 ай бұрын

@danielmilliken8903 hard woods carve much easier when they are green. The drawback to green wood, is that it will quickly gum up almost any dremel bit. The kutzall extreme burrs and the like are still able to do good work though. Most green wood carving would be done with knife or chisel, or a lathe. So if you want to power carve, stick to dried wood. Good luck.

Cool wood spirit and like how he turned out. Can you repeat what type of wood that you prefer to power carve? I think you mentioned a wood from California?

Cheers. It's Macrocarpa, it might be called something else over in California.

I’m a beginner, how can I tell if the wood I found is hard or soft? Also do you have a video that shows how you carved the regular face (not wood spirit) that you also use in this video? I would like to do some sweet fairy or girl faces . Thanks, you are a wonderful teacher!

@MattCarves 8 ай бұрын

one of the first tests is Hard wood just feels heavy compared to softwoods (If both dry). Another test is to see if you can dent it with your fingernail. If you know what the wood is - Google its properties. Hard and soft woods are on a spectrum thus you can have really soft through to really hard and everything inbetween. Generally though just give it a go try carving it if its hardwood you will know. Cheers

After the last wind storm I scored some bottle brush tree bits, a 8 foot branch ( bout as round as my head ) of Pohutukawa and so much Mac bits. I also scored a job doing 50 of those carved phone holder's I do. Busy busy.

@MattCarves Thank you for your wisdom on the bits. I, too, use the dremmel tool. I carve walking sticks and make faces. I love seeing other works of art. I really enjoy what you do. Thank you very much.
