Becoming Famous For My Sculptures Ep. 1 Season 1

The goal is not to become famous for my sculptures haha. This project serves more as a strong pillar in my life. It is something i can put my focus and time into, and i hope it will take me places
I hope you liked the first video in this new series. Feedback is always appreciated!

The expression on that pup's face is simply wonderful. It reminds me of the expressions on the faces of the dogs I have had over the years and that pup's face is not out of the ordinary. It brings a lot of memories back of my dogs. My Westie, Dougal, used to sleep on top of the back of an armchair; he always liked being high up. One day he ran across the living room floor and in two jumps he was up in his favourite spot and settled in to enjoy the sunshine. He lay back, rolled over then fell off...he got right back on top of the chair again. Dougal was never scared of anything lol.

[@clairetolmie5640]

It turned out beautifully Jonas! You made the right decision not too put too much detail all over, the piece would look too busy. I often make a rough little clay model to help me see how one section flows into another. I am so looking forward to seeing more of your brilliant work this year. In my mind you are already famous!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! haha well the getting famous part is really not that important. I get the most reliable positivity from improving my skills.

[@orlandovalentin6325]

[@pietrochemello7691]

So happy that you are back Jonas, amazing work once again!!!!

Thank you! I appreciate the support a lot!

Really liked how the lighter part of the walnut was on the face. Looking forward to the next video. 👍

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

That is very nice to hear! In the future i will try to buy some logs that has more of the light area

[@sandramccormick8326]

@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft you are not the only one that hopes so! Your videos are not just 'uh, watch me work' but they are very informative and educational! I really like the fact you mention all the different things of your process you would change for future projects.

Beautiful as always. The leaf on its back may be flat but it also preserves the silhouette of the wolf and keeps it recognizable at a distance. Good luck on your journey. I'll be following closely!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Thats an interesting take! I appreciate the support

[@m.maclellan7147]

Turned out super fantastic! Love Black Walnut. Was a fun video, too. Your pup is adorable! Can't wait to see the rest.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Yes its my favourite wood. This one was pretty dark i think on the scale of black walnut.

[@pestr999]

This sculpture came out fantastic! I hope to see more videos from you this year if you keep to your plan.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Yeah i will try my best to stick to the plan

[@patriciapiper6294]

JONAS, WHAT A NEAT RENDITION!!! THE PROPORTIONS ARE PERFECT AND THE FUR DESIGN IS DREAMY. LOTS OF LOVE. BY THE WAY, NO MORE SKI CRASHING PLEASE!!! CAN'T CARVE WITH A CAST YOU KNOW!!! KEEP EM COMING!!!!!💪❤👀😀🇺🇸

Excellent carving result, entertaining video with a fun intro!

Thank you!

You are 90% of the reason that I found the inspiration and will to try out power tool wood carving myself. And you're still my prime inspiration in this area - your work is fantastic, and I've always enjoyed listening to you talking. Keep up the good work, and a huge welcome back here from Denmark (yeah I know, I'm late to the "wecome back" party...)

So good to see you Jonas..back in the shop and with a plan... I'm sure we all hope you're doing well and your plan goes smoothly enough..and hey..if there are moments not to your liking..well that's ok too... You wolf pup is adorable and we'll be looking forward to your next sculpture... Stay warm..God bless you...🌿🌿🌿

[@CTigger8888]

Your dog is adorable and I'm impressed with your tree climbing ability 😉

This wolf pup is everything I am so in love with this magnificent work and I would be so proud to own and cherish this piece if I had the chance. I adore the calm look as though he is enjoying the sun and a cool breeze after a nice content day of feeding and play.

[@jhaneyzz]

Jonas. your videos are an amazing discovery. I love what you are doing. One piece of advice, stop asking for advice... the magic of watching you do this, learn this, figure out how to do this your way, IS the magic. You are definitely on the path to success. Neither you, nor we, can tell you what that success will be, but you are a real person, pursuing something, primarily with their own drive, determination, inspiration and integrity. That is enough, just do it the way if feels right to you. This is magic. Thank you for inviting us along...

[@FranWhitten]

Just found your channel. Love the wolf pup! You are an excellent carver. Thanks for sharing.

[@DominicNJ73]

Awesome as always, Jonas. You are right about the nose area, not only does it make a great contrast but it immediately reminded me of a wolf/dog pup as their nose area is usually naturally lighter then the rest of their body, at least in the puppy stage.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Oh i did not think of that. How perfect :D

[@isamidnight]

It's so nice to see you making videos again. I love the carving. Wolves are one of my favorite animals. Also, despite having a bell icon clicked, I noticed I missed your last two videos so I'll have to be more diligent about checking. Off to watch those!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! I must admit that those past two videos lacked a bit of passion from my side. But the videos i will create this year will absolutely be something i can be passionate about

[@rebekahjoystudio]

I am SO EXCITED for this series!!!! Go Jonas!!!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Yeah i figured it was easier to just set a plan for the entire year to make things more predictable

[@rebekahjoystudio]

@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft I was just able to finish watching the whole video! I really enjoyed the whole thing, but I very much liked the part where you explain your process. I don't think it's too much detail at all, as someone who's trying to improve at woodworking it is SO helpful to hear the thought process from an artist detailing how they go from idea to finished sculpture. Please keep that in your videos! I like how brightly lit the videos are, and how I can see the different bits for your Dremel on each step. I would love to hear how you decide which bit for which part! And the ski video in the beginning was hilarious 🤣🤣. I've never tried skiing, makes me want to try. I love the process! Keep creating, everything you share helps me in my creative journey as well, and I'm sure countless others!

[@JayEyedWolf]

God he's so beautiful. What? Yes, the wolf too, obviously. I really love how the wood ended up with a lighter portion on the pup's nose! It's amazing how the oil brings out the beauty of the wood. I love the mix of fur texture with the naturalistic abstract swirls-- it's a wonderful combination. There's great balance in positive and negative space here, and I love the wolf's one uplifted paw! I am cheering you on in your quest to become famous for your sculptures!!

I wish you a lot of luck and joy in taking these new steps in becoming even more amazing and famous

Thank you for the feedback! I will keep that in mind. I will try to capture intricate details in the next one and folllow a cronological path.

[@retiredoba2836]

J, Thank you for sharing yourself with us. Your videos and commentary are so wonderfully educational. Your ability and vision to create is a “gift” that we get to enjoy. The wolf pup is beautiful. I am looking forward to your next project and many more after… Thank you for sharing your “safety” comments regarding wood dust exposure. I have been diligent in wearing an N-95 dust mask, but I think moving toward a better fitting (canister style) respirator is best. I did build a dust capture system from shop vacuums that works pretty well, but fine dust still gets all over my small shop. By the way, I think you will be “most famous” for how you communicate your creativity. The beauty of your art is inspirational!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! Your words gives me a lot of courage and motivation. I will try to best to bring you more awesome videos this year

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]
