Kevin ... I am in absolute awe of your carving ability!!! I truly am. I am a beginning novice who is acquiring his initial carving tools and gear one piece at a time starting with safety glove, thumb guard and quality strop and polishing media. It would be an honor to have one of your figures for my small collection. Specially, would it be possible to purchase your “Whittling Buddy” figure? It would be a very prized addition to my collection. It would kinda be like my inspiration ... of what is possible and what excellence looks like. Either way, I love your videos and channel. I am averaging one video a day since I discovered you last week. Of course, I am proud to be a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing your talent, knowledge and experience with me and the rest of KZfaq!!! That said, I’ll close. I sincerely wish you and yours all things great and good!!!! Take care, be safe, all my best and God bless!!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 🤠🐩🖖

RrKevevin,man you are something else " I am 90 been carving 40 years, hooked on waterfowl but cannot spend the hours any more .Was Looking at my computer the other nite and noted all you guys and gals envoled in the joyful endeavor of picking up a piece of the right wood in one hand and your favorite knife in the other and create something beauty and joy. I have experienced joy. Kevin, I have served as a judge in many top shows and brought home lots awards, I have been Blessed. I said all of this to say you are also Blessed . I have really admired your work as well teaching while you carve . By the way ,where did get that. snub nose bulldog of knife that you, use. Got to

@dimidomo7946 4 жыл бұрын

Your attention to detail hinges on compulsion. One must have to whittle 100's of figures to determine where to place creases and cuts, etc. What % of wood is removed from the block until the 'fella' creatively emerges? Whittle on! 🍀
