This is the second video in a row I watch in a row. Guess you could say I’m binge watching your channel.. You remove a lot of wood at a time. I guess that comes with confidence and more experience. I’ve just started carving figurines. Been doing very abstract delicate pieces for about 30 years.

Thank you. I’ve been doing this and selling them for 20 plus years trying to earn a living. I did things as fast as possible but tried to keep the pieces decent to get more to sell.

Oh wow another great video!!! But, I've been carving no neck people for a long time don't have ears either lol. Mine aren't near as good as yours lol. I just never did like my necks or ears. And funny thing is mine always looks like my grandpa and the women always looks like my grandma. Thanks Mr. Coates an inspiration for sure!

Thank you Chuck. I did it this way hoping it would be a little easier for less experience carvers to follow. It’s all about the practice

@KevinCoates982 жыл бұрын
Thank you David. It’s white pine I carve which is pretty soft. You need a sharp knife. I’ve tried other kinds of pine that was useless.

@@parsaerfani7973 Ah excellent. I had a friend who wordked for phone company. When they replaed all their white cedar poles he was gifted them. He cut them into 1ft lengths, split logs & created a great Santa ornament. I enjoy using different woods. In a few weeks I'll be going to Minnesota to gather cottonwood bark for carving woodspirits & ornamrnts.

I like that you don't use basswood all the time, I use clear chunks of scrap 2x4s most of the time... basswood is kind of a treat though ;)
@KevinCoates982 жыл бұрын
Basswood is pretty much impossible to get here where I live. I’ve only tried it a time or two. It wasn’t a good piece of wood. Too seasoned. The only wood I’ve used much was pine, Aspen and balsam fir. Make do with what’s available to you
