I'm a wood carver, but this is how you carve wood!!! It's not the subject, but where you carve wood that counts! Swedish Fire log, nice moderate 25 to 30 deg temperature, a best friend, and either a cup of hot tea, coffee or cocoa!... Oh and your carving stuff!!!

I love the way your video's tell a story that's so peaceful and lovely to watch even without the carving parts. Definitely NOT saying that the carving isn't the reason I clicked on the video so quickly 🤣 Your carvings are so beautiful as well but the way you combine the story and the carving is also really amazing. Hope you have a great Christmas 👍👍👍👍
