Carve a SIMPLE Wood PENDANT | Raven/Crow Skull

Hey guys! For this video, I decided to make a simple raven/crow/bird skull pendant with a remaining piece from my previous project. I came up with this abstract design that I thought would be easy enough for just about anyone to make if they wanted to.
I did not intend on making another wood carved pendant so soon! But with the extra piece(s) of wooden spoon remains i thought, "why not?!" Anyway, my next video will likely be something totally different, then following that one I will use your suggestions to decide on the THIRD pendant!

[@ridisberg]

The calmest part of my day is when I sit down to watch one of your vids.

[@Adamant_Consternation]

I'd love to hear commentary from you. I find the why/how of how people do things can be just as interesting as the thing they're making.

[@RossTheRandom]

Thanks for the feedback! The last/third third pendant I'm currently on will be a time lapse, after that I will try to talk more 😀

[@jennylowery8151]

I wish you had started 3 years ago, if you had, then I could binge watch your play lists! Lol. I really don't do social media much but I sure hope that the people who do will share your videos to Twitter and Instagram and such. Thanks again for sharing your talents. I think you may be the missing Covington triplet seperated at birth from Bucky and Rocky!

[@RossTheRandom]

Thank you for the kind words, Jenny! 😊

[@sydneyfowler2191]

Ooh, I like the idea of using scrap pieces for future works...it looks like a tooth to me, but it also has the shape of a budding flower and stem.. in profile maybe.

[@RossTheRandom]

I could see that!

I got the same saw I love it. Great job on the pendant.

Also here from Bobby Duke Arts. Now subscribed and following on IG. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@RossTheRandom]

Thank you Kathleen!! I'm editing the 3rd pendant video now 😁 After that, I'll be on to something totally different!

[@PadamaaPaadamaa]

Beautiful work mate.. Very inspiring :)

[@TJtheBee]

Came over from Bobby Duke - I think that piece could nicely work itself into a feather!

[@RossTheRandom]

Feather it is! 😁

[@MrKingcann]

loved the music, and the pendant looks awesome. also a neo traditional style dagger would look cool out of the scrap :)

[@RossTheRandom]

Thanks dude!

[@FrigginBoomToys]

Came over from Bobby Duke. Good stuff. That sanding music was intense. Got me really psyched to go do some crazy 80's style sanding.

[@FrigginBoomToys]

Also make a tribal looking fishing hook thingy with that scrap

[@RossTheRandom]

Hey thanks man! I had no idea 80's style sanding existed but I think my life is better for it now! 😁

[@graphiccontent98]

Turned out really nice Ross, real good job mate ✌

[@RossTheRandom]

Thanks man! Bit delayed with events lately, but I have a new project in the works 😉

[@SleepyP4nda]

I love you're videos keep up the good work

[@nclmkrr]

Love your videos so far. You should make that left over piece of spoon to make a little spoon x

[@RossTheRandom]

Thank you! Lol that's a good idea, although I'm already working on the next one 🙂 Maybe in future though?

[@dewyfromknoxville254]

I've been binge watching your vids,,, You Sir, have Tallent!! I'm a Southern Boy too, and love wood working. I just made My own lathe, and Scroll saw, out of wood. They both work wonderful, keep em coming, you have some killer ideas. Imma try this, and see if I can make it!! ...... Peace!!

[@RossTheRandom]

Thank you so much, Dewy!! Many more videos to come 😉

[@Mikeyb2k]

Thanks. Got my multitool in the post so good starting point for project. The off cut is tooth shaped but would be cool with maybe a design in the centre nearly separate from the outside shape. Like a flower or something in a teardrop.

[@RossTheRandom]

Thank you Mike! Already carved the last piece, however! Decided on a hand-carved feather 😀

Hey I think you should make a MetallicA sign or something like that out of wood or whatever you think would be awesome

[@RossTheRandom]

I like your way of thinking, you have good taste 😉🤘

[@sars195]

Well it does look like a skull though it doesn't look like one entirely 😂 but that's okay because the result is beautiful though I think it would've looked a little bit better if it was wooden, but if you thought it was nicer in black then that's it, you're the artist here and you know your art more than me and I'm sure you would choose what makes it most beautiful in your opinion 👏👏👏

[@RossTheRandom]

For this one I used watered down black acrylic paint, it kind of acts like stain in that it's still somewhat transparent. It may be hard to tell, but I did leave the wood grain showing. I appreciate your input! It's very good and helpful to hear other's opinions 😁

[@sars195]

@@RossTheRandom I see! I did notice a little bit of the wooden color, but what I meant up there was the natural brownish wooden color of the wood, like without any coloring at all, is what I thought would have looked nicer. The piece is quite simple yet amazing and beautiful in its own simple way so I though the natural color would add a touch to it because simplicity and nature always go along well 😊

[@RossTheRandom]

@@sars195 agreed! Maybe I'll have to make another one and leave the natural wood showing 😉 I'll be doing plenty of wood carvings, so I'll play around with different finishes
