the pan to ipad face was very funny, but also carving was super neat, and enjoyable to hear all hammering and carving

Thanks for showing us that, sometimes it's better to find another piece of wood than to struggle on a poor prospect.

I recently found ginkgo excellent for carving after an arm size limb fell in my yard last summer during some high straight line wind.

Excellent tutorial Alec! Looking forward to try carving a piece of white birch i love that look of hiding under the paper. And paper birch is very plentiful here in Western Massachusetts. Thank you!

This is very relaxing to watch. How often do you have to stop and strop/sharpen your tools during the carving process?

@AlecLaCasseArt Жыл бұрын

At least once per carving!

Awesome carving! Is there someway to preserve the bark?

You can pull it off and adhere it! Or add sealant to the inside layers

Hey Alec, ive picked up carving about a month ago. I do however have 1 problem, i simply dont have quality tools. Are there any specific sets/tools you recommend for carvings like this?

green logs dry on fresh air obviously 1 1/2 inch per year. If you carve just green wood can develop cracks . Some guys use Pentacryl or Shellac for stabilizing wood, another carvers use to make their project hollow - from back side they remove wood to leave just 1 to 1 1/2 inch "meat" what lower grain tension during changing humidity and temperature in room during heating season (if you want display your project inside a house). Carving green wood is easier - maybe more enjoyable and good for practising. Fallen birch very fast start to rot - select parts not touching ground

@@KjayCarving one more idea - birch is relatively hard to carving - many guys (include myself) work with local supply wood such aspen or even poplar . Bud I warning you don't try basswood bark - it is very addictive :-))) In the past I found interesting material in Wood Pallets
