Beginners Guide to Wood Carving - Carving a Chess Pawn

Another simple project to try out that will help in learning the basics of carving and some finer control for detail work.

Greetings from Ireland!. Loved your informative video. It's great people like you that go to the bother of sharing their skill and information, that make KZbin the success it is. Thanks a million, Tom

[@wayne7018]

Thanks. I'm a hobbyist woodworker that got into whittling during the pandemic. After using a Buck knife and the Swiss Army Knife Whittling book and graduating to a good whittling knife from North Bay Forge I'm ready for this. Thanks.

[@amydickerson2145]

Yes! Please carve a chess set and film it as an instruction. That would be awesome 👌!!

[@horensvanbaronsabato]

Thank you very much, an exceptionally informing, down-to-earth video. Great work!

[@GingerWildcat]

I want so much more of this content. This is just awesome. Does anyone have tips on carving detailed knights without mill, lathe, band saws, or power tools?

[@leonardprice3361]

Just a note to let you know I really enjoyed this video as I just found your channel. Hope to see more carving and other videos from you 😊

What knifes do you recommend to purchase to carve a chess set?

[@SilverfishSG]

great work

[@Delvenero]

Thank you for sharing with us.

[@dylanalliata4809]

I liked the project it is simple but I would recommend people use cut proof gloves to avoid the nine finger look.

[@benhinkley4947]

Where did you get your knife?

Thanks for the video! Very helpful. What kind of knife are you using?

[@wildbillcody2127]

I think he said a morah?

[@CSGraves]

Mora, or Morakniv. They have a small range of carving knives, but my personal favourite for whittling is their Basic 2/0. Lately though I've been using their chisel knife on a set or chessmen. The chisel head comes in really handy for certain cuts. Their model 122 is nice, though the blade stock is a bit thicker than I'd prefer for something this small.

[@susanmartin870]

Good video. Anyone else cringe when he cut the bottom off? I thought he was gonna lose his fingertips.

I do not think you can play chess with one pawn🤔

This is why the ⸮ irony mark should be more accessible on a QWERTY keyboard!
