[@chasebrockphoto]

So want to do this for myself!

It's a great project - thanks for watching!

Very nice. I know two grandkids that will be getting these in their stockings. Thanks for sharing the idea. Keep on, keeping on!

Great idea, love it.

Thanks for the comment! It's a fun project.

Enjoyed this, and will make a couple for grandkids. The carvers tools could certainly profit from some honing.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Those DHK knives stay very sharp but I still put them on the strop before every carving. I'm also a very slow carver as you can probably tell - LOL.

[@DarkRumAgain]

Sorry, didn’t mean to be critical. I have no idea how dry and hard your wood is. I have cut and drilled a dozen blanks, and it will become a whittling project for a Friday afternoon group. Thank you for the fun idea.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

@@DarkRumAgain No apology needed. I seem to get this feedback on a few of my other videos, but the knives are razor sharp. Sometimes it can be the wood is not the best basswood. I do carve very slowly though and it will appear like the knife (or me) is struggling. Sometimes if I feel like the blade is catching too much in the grain, I'll pull it out and come from the other direction. There can be a lot of factors. Happy whittling!

Great work!!! How long have you been a wood carver?

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks for watching! I got into caricature carving a few years back. I started out years ago as a woodturner, then progressed to carving spoons, and in recent years started the caricature carving. As you can see, I bounce back and forth between different woodworking / craft projects on my channel.

Great work but you blew a different whistle at the end. We wanted to hear the one you made in the video.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Good observation and thanks for watching! They all sound about the same. For the one I made, the pitch may be slightly different but not by much. It's a fun project.
