Carving a REALISTIC FACE in Under 1 Hour With Just 5 Tools - Wood Spirit Carving by Lucas Kost

In this video I challenged myself to carve a realistic wood spirit in under one hour, with only 5 tools. My goal here was to identify which aspects of carving faces that I need to improve on the most. I definitely learned a lot in this quick carve exercise!

You think abt every cut you make? Im getting into whittling and i find myself just making cut after cut withought much thought but little by little i get there 🤷‍♂️

Superb carving, Mr. Kost!

[@lucaskostwoodcarving]

Thank you kindly!

Ciao complimenti x il lavoro ti seguo e sono iscritto.... non capisco una cosa cioè il tipo di legno che usi.....perche quando lo traduco con google a volte mi dice "legno di cotone" a volte lo traduce come "pioppo". queal'è la traduzione corretta??? Penso sia cotone perche il pioppo è molto comune e con una consistenza poco idonea alle sculture. ciao e grazie from Italy❤🇮🇹

Good work but sometimes you seem a little confused on what tool should be used.

I’d never guessed the bark of a mature cotton wood tree would be this solid, I was wondering how well it lasts over the years. Fascinating work by the way.
