I've watched you with Doug Linker doing the coffee show together. I've been watching him for a long time. He's why I got started. But I've watched others too. But I like what you have done on wood carvings.

You’re a true artist, therefore you have different approaches that still results in amazing work. I am a beginner and have been watching a lot of videos, for some reason watching you and especially this has helped me understand the cutting process better. Your a great teacher Alex, thanks for all your time, amazing!

High Alec, after watching you carve that piece of work I'm afraid that you are fully responsible for me spending £40 quid. Yes I've ordered a skew knife from my pfeil supplier here in the UK. It's ok though I did not have one anyway 🙃 lol. Keep them coming mate. Cheers Les.

Thanks for the video. This will help with my face carves. I recently had to have 6 big willows felled on our property. Going to be learning to use a chainsaw, so lots of practice wood. Power carving willow, it's a fuzzy wood, but I'll try it with some hand tools too. Willows are famous for being self pruning trees, meaning they drop their branches regularly. So if you need some wood, ask someone that has willows if you can clean up the dropped branches for them. The willows in my yard are always shedding branches.

Alec just watching this one again, and the penny dropped, just wondering why you used your scew knife for removing the bark 🤔? I would and would have thought that you might have used a sloyd knife for the initial removal, any dirt or grit possibly being present. My scew knife arrived yesterday ( Thursday 2nd May ) What a beauty it is too ,little touch up on the strop and it's amazingly sharp and beautiful fine preesice cuts ,glad that i watched your video. Now need to find some suitable wood to try getting a face correct. Thanks again buddy 👍 Cheers mate Les.

Hey Les, I like the way you think! Just happened to want to keep it to one tool for this video! Often have a sacrificial tool for rough outer stuff like you say!

I'm always afraid the bark of the wood will harm the knife and dull it out. Do you usually polish it up after clearing the area?

Dude, I can imagine most people watching these videos are adults or kids so will be supervised by an adult. They'd have to be intellectually challenged if they can't make the decision to wear it not to wear a glove.

Leather glove is best? Curious to know.
