I am always amazed at your ability to carve the eyes without the wood breaking and chipping off. I have watched probably 90% of your videos and still try to get eyes that compare to yours. Great work and videos.

I've been modifying Opinel pocket knives as of late. In as far as carving it has just been finger grooves with a Dremel tool and then wood burning things like Celtic knot work patterns. However I am inspired to try and carve a wood spirit into the handle. I'm currently looking at an Opinel #6 Carbon blade knife with Beechwood handle. One thing that sets me back however is that the blade slot is pretty deep and that does not leave me much wood to work with in the center. If I go too deep then I will be cutting into the blade slot and that will ruin it. I could always just wood burn the spirit but I like the 3D effect carving gives. Got any advice? I will likely be practicing before I try as I am new to carving however if you are interested in doing a video with such a knife as a challenge I'd love to see it. The knife costs about $13 - $15 with shipping.

I live in France and have bought some pine from a local hardware store. It's easy to carve and looks a lot like the pine you are using. However it is really prone to splitting and if I'm not careful a chunk will split off and ruin my work. I am wondering if the type of pine that you are using also tends to split easily or if pine from different continents might be very different in texture?

I used OCC knives in this video. I use a Flexcut in some and an old fish knife in a lot of the videos. I would cut myself pretty much everyday first when I started carving

Hi Kevin, I notice that when you were finished carving, you brushed on a type of clear yellowish liquid & then brushed on a darker liquid. Would you mind telling me what those were, by the way, your carvings are amazing, you’re very talented, thank you for your videos.
@KevinCoates98

Thank you. It was a natural oil. The kind used on cutting boards. The other was some watered down brown paint just to darken it a little

I used Balsam Fir for years. That is a very soft wood but I carved it with the wood being still fairly green. Too dry and the fibres would break cutting across grain. I also used Aspen for awhile. That was pretty decent
