Just so you know, a 'real enthusiast' watches every stroke of the gouge and listens to every strike of the mallet! Great video! Much obliged!

I watched this with my husband th8s morning and now I'm cleaning house to it. Its just satisfying to hear the sounds of someone crafting something that's not drowned out by talking and music. Beautiful bowl by the way. My husband's on the search for some aged wood so he can make one for me. 😁

HA!!!! no music or talking.....just hammering away. You have a great sense of humor.

Chris is the kind of person who doesn't look for easy ways to create a masterpiece.

Chris, I was absolutely memorized watching you from start to finish, Completely enjoyed your use of hard tools. It is almost a lost art. Thank you for the presentation. Blessings

Amazing work, Chris! Thanks for uploading a long video like this, it's so nice to see all the process and the details. It would be nice too if you post more videos like this one. Again, amazing work and video! Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoy watching a craftsman work their magic on a piece of log and turn it into a beautiful useful bowl.

"I don't have to use this saw, but I WANT TO!" I felt that in my bones.

I was so intrigued by the use of only ha nd powered tools. He has so much talent. Also thank you for the no talking and no music. I found that the sound of the tools alone was so relaxing.

It would be nice to see a video on how you keep all of your different tools sharp.

If someone had introduced this to me when i was young I would have taken an interest in it for sure. I like chopping wood just for the sake of it.

The sculpture of the grain is reminiscent of the sandstone cliffs along some of the rivers in Moab. Fantastic work Chris. More videos please.

God its been a while, but i managed to find my way back to this channel after finding a guy who also doesnt use power tools for wood work and being reminded of you, thank you for quite literally being the reason i got into woodworking and that those kinda stuff, hope the years been treating you well and continue to do so.

I love watching your video's Chris! This one is another masterpiece!

What an amazing job you have done from woe to go ...absolutely brilliant ,,,I am in awe of you patience and hard work to achieve what you did without power tools. regards Mike

Your talented carving is award winning. I would be thrilled to have this piece in my collection. I found watching this program was very relaxing. I will watch again.

Really nice video, thanks for sharing your work! It's cool to see the beginning stages and not just cut straight to chisels like other videos I've seen. Really interesting how you handle such a huge heavy project.

Love it and the video with all Natural sounds no annoying music. Well done. The way you took the bark off taking your time reminded me when as a child going deer hunting and skinning the deer you did it slow and easy and said a prayer before you shot it for the food it gave you.

I have that same Brookstone mallet - I bought it over 50 years ago. Spectacular tool! You do good work!

I have been looking for a video like this for ages. Thank you for giving the names of the tools

Big project, great carving, beautiful wood.

hey man, love how interactive you are with your comment section. Love the chicago bears hat!!!

It is wonderful to see someone who has this level and skill with their tools and who takes care of them with such reverence! I also love the look and practicality of manual tools. Every tool has a specific purpose. Just like Japanese woodworkers, the skill is top notch! Beautiful work and dedication! God Bless!

masterpiece of a video, just pure craftsmanship and not even wasting any wood, bravo

Such a joy watching good use of sharp tools. Beautiful work. Thank you.

Old school craftmanship! Love it! One of my favorite video I've seen in a while>

Simplesmente um trabalho perfeito!!!! Uma habilidade incrível!!! Obrigado por compartilhar. Sucesso no canal.

Excellent! You carved out a whole bowl in about the same time it takes me to change my oil. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

Incredible work. Love how your excellent craftsmanship brings out the beauty of the wood! Well Done! God Bless!

Beautiful! So nice that you left the tool marks 🐝🤗❤️

Thanks for sharing. I carved a bowl similar to this one using a chain saw, and other power tools. It was a quick process, the results were phenomenal.

Absolutely love your work, I just wish I had found your channel sooner! I’m autistic and the sound of every stroke just put me at ease. Thank you for sharing your art and talent!

That wood is something else! Great piece!

Like that you showed the whole process. Awesome bowl. Love to make one of these. It would be great to know the measurements of the bowl and the different types of blades you used. Great job.

I always look forward to my favorite stage of work, when you start the final "combing" phase of the workpiece ... Amazingly beautiful wood! Amazing job! Thank you, Chris!!

Lovely work and video! Thank you!

The finished bowl is bee-u-tee-ful! But I like the chiseled look also, inside and outside. Thank you.

This guy is even replying to new comments what a legend, haven't finished the video yet but I'm sure it'll be awesome

fantastic workshop, fantastic tools, fantastic video, fantastic everything, congratulations

Beautiful job! Thank you for sharing your process with us.😊

Awesome video! I wish I could do work like this. The knowledge and patience needed is underrated, well done. Sharp ass tools can’t hurt the process. Thanks man

Este vídeo debiera ser un documental de NatGeo, pues éste señor es un espécimen en extinción, si un verdadero artesano de la madera. Una joya su trabajo y una clase en el uso de herramientas manuales. Muchas gracias por su hermoso trabajo. Felicitaciones!!!

Beautiful piece, love the video!!!!!

You have been very meticulous to create a beautiful product!

Also it makes you realize how much respect the shipbuilders and carpenters of the pre-electric era deserve.

Excellent job, Chris!

Chris, when you were removing the bark, I was thinking to myself how satisfying it was, then those very words appeared on the screen. ( : Catalpas are one of my favorite trees.

Wow. Beautiful job!!!!!

Looks band I like the carve marks on the side. Thank you!

Awesome holds and carving skills

Just stumbled onto your channel looking for unintentional triggers for ASMR. I started this video early this morning, but fell asleep probably halfway through. Thank you for uploading these! And your woodwork is awesome!

This helped me during an anxiety attack in the middle of the night

Worthwhile video of true hand carving without the needles use of electricity! Very interesting, you are an incredible artist, stay well!

The sound of sawing is a beatiful music to my ears.... The firstime i saw some of your tools,,,this morming i started to look to buy and learn your craft,, But unfortunately very limited tools we have here in the Phils ,,, Ill continue learning even if i dont have special tools ,,thank you again Chris for your talent and skills,,really great!

Lindo trabalho, parabéns!

Me encantan tus trabajos, y me encanta tambien como los realizas. Un fenomeno

love your tools

Parabéns Mestre Chris pelo trabalho de excelência. From Brasil.

I’m impressed with the quantity of international subscribers you have. Makes sense, because your work is fascinating and you get beautiful results.

Hello Sir, it is very relaxing to watch you carve these unique bowls using only hand tools. A question I have is if you have ever worked with burls? I know they are rare to find however these unusual growths make for brilliant results.

Hi chris good job hardwork is paying off wishing you the best

Brilliant skills and tools

Una belleza de trabajo!! Like!!!

Great way to keep in shape

(28/Sep/22). Lo Primerp que voy a decir, que el ingenio que tiene este señores desbordante, al diseñar todas y cada una de lo apoyos, que son dudas son obras de su creación. Lo segundo, ya lo había visto trabajar anteriormente cuando hizo un barco con detalles sorprendentes y ahora verlo trabajar nuevamente, me hace sentir que nuestro vocabulario español no tiene una expresión superior a felicitaciones, pues es tan extraordinaria la forma de trabajar si uso de tecnología, que sin duda alguna, merece todas aquellas expresiones que permitan ensalzar el trabajo realizado. Desde Santiago de Chile🇨🇱, envío a usted mi admiración. Un fuerte abrazo.

Nice Video! Keep up the good work Chris!

Every other channel that puts music or talking over these beautiful natural sounds is an idiot, thank you for this

That wood good. Saws!

nice bowl a lot of work great job

Complimenti a Lei!!! Seguito tutto il video passo passo.....un vero artista !!!👏👏👏👏🪓🪓🪓

Хорошая работа! Смотрел все без перемотки. Много труда, но результат прекрасный!

Thanks for sharing.

Ive been battling severe tendinitis in my elbow for 3 months now. Watching you on that saw just made it flare up more... lol As always, great video Chris

"MAGNIFICENT" Bowl - A Job Well Done With Care And Consistency. "Congratulations".

Great slow-mo shot on the split...nice seeing it a cpl times

Amazing work!♡✔♡

Wonderfull! What a best work I saw.

Fantástico , um belo trabalho , parabéns .

WHEW!! Thought you never get done 🤣 What a massive tool place I'm sure they all serve a purpose the only tools I have is a screw driver and pair of pliers, oh never mind I borrowed those, I'm a new subscriber thank you for sharing your awesome videos 👍looking forward to seeing what's next

Great work! That catalpa looks like it carves wonderfully. I guess it was pretty green?

nice tools, great job👌

The grain of that wood is very nice

Acho lindo transformar uma madeira em objetos. Parabens

A comment in support of the channel and the video, as well as the work of the master.

Very nice bowl Chris! Haven’t carved catalpa yet, would you seek it out again or stick with the more common cherry / walnut / maple?

parabéns um lindo trabalho Deus lhe abençoe,vi seu video do começo até o fim maravilhoso,very good

AWESOME work. Love the old style wood working. Great job 👍. Like to do a sticker swap with you to put on my board in my work shop.

I enjoyed watching this video 👌👌👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️

Excelente trabajo, extraordinario

My first time watching you...BEAUTiFul work.

Hola, excelente labor, nada de maquinaria sofisticada, mucho talento, habilidad y creatividad. Felicitaciones y muchas gracias por la enseñanza. Un abrazo desde Bogotá, Colombia.

Beautiful

better than an netflix evening😎

Good idea 👍👌

At first I thought " Wow, this guy must really hate chainsaws" Then realized it's just a love for the craft. Could have made that way way faster, maybe nicer with power tools but it's not as satisfying. That's truly handmade. I'm happy this came across my feed

Legal amigo. Tenho um projeto para fazer uma cuba em madeira para minha kombi home e seu vídeo me deu uma luz. Obrigado pela dica. Abraços e até mais 👍

Wow! That looks amazing! Just finished watching all the way through. Watching you sneak up on your reference lines was very visually satisfying!

Both beautiful and utilitarian, Chris. Extremely well done. You must have arms and hands like steel cables.

Been waiting on a upload

Nice work
