@@isaxsisa4462 basswood (linden tree)

Thank you. Glad to hear that. I really like this project too.

I often forget to properly sharpen the knife, but in this video, I had a bad tree branch. The closer the branch is to the trunk, the better it is, but this one was too soft(brittle?). I sanded the details and filmed the carving to the end, and I liked how it turned out. So, I decided to leave everything as it is.

I appreciate your kind words. It means a lot to hear your positive feedback.

A few years ago, I spent a whole year carving just one small sea turtle. And I'm really glad about your success. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story that also inspires me. May your new tools serve you well and bring you joy. Good carving to you.

I don't have a Facebook account, but I created a page on Buy Me a Coffee(as your request). It seems there is a messaging feature for my supporters, but I don't know how it works yet. Try it. The link is in the video description and on the channel page. I'll be glad to see you there.

Basswood

Beautiful work, I love it ❣️

If you measure from the head: 1. Head - 10mm (If I carve a vertical line for the head diagonally, and depending on the type of face). 2. Front paws - 8mm 3. Belly - 15mm 4. And back paws - 12mm All of this can be increased by making the belly smaller. I just make the back paws larger than the front paws. I also left 15mm for the head, but for this, you need a longer piece of wood (55mm). In the video, I forgot to mention that the back paws should be measured from the opposite side. So, thank you for the comment; I will make the changes. Right now, there's enough time only for KZfaq. If there are any changes, I will definitely post about it in the Community tab. Good carving to you.

@@SmallWoodenSculpture Thank you so much for the info. I just thought 10 mm was so small. and in the video it looks so much bigger then 10. I only have a very hard wood here, Oak and Mazanita. So I bought some bass wood at the craft store and using that.

Oh, I want an oak cat too, but I need to go to a forest. At home, I have several linden trees that need trimming every year, so I can always afford to mess up a few projects. I hope this time you succeed.

Thank you for your comments. I'll try to implement your requests. In the 'Community' tab, you will find step-by-step photos of carving a cat: www.youtube.com/@SmallWoodenSculpture/community Perhaps, at this time, they will help you, if you haven't seen them before. Good luck with your future carving.

Thank you for your words. This is a good idea. Maybe in the future, I will try.

I'm happy to hear that. Thank you. I'll keep making more new videos.

Glad you like it! Thank you.

Yes

Good decision. Happy carving to you.

This is basswood, which is very good for wood carving. I regularly use harder types of wood, such as aspen or birch, and achieve good results. However, if you want to try carving a plague doctor for the first time, basswood would be great.

@@SmallWoodenSculpture thanks for the instructive reply.

Thank you. I'm glad you appreciated this little project.

Thank you. I'm very glad.

Thank you

I made my knife myself. The blade length is 40 mm. The overall length of the knife is 130 mm. In this video, I used basswood. Good carving to you.

Акрилові краще. Однак мені подобається фарбувати аквареллю. Вони завжди під рукою і мені їх не шкода. Вони легкі в користуванні і чудово підходять для липи. Але не для твердого дерева (їх тяжко наносити і вони легко стираються). Також для глянцю і довговічності можна покрити фігурку лаком. Радий, що вам сподобалась моя робота. Бажаю вдалої різьби.

@@SmallWoodenSculpture Велике дякую за відповідь! Чекатиму нових відео
