Hello Nadia, I'm following your channel for a while now. Your videos are always so calming and thoughtful ❤. You've got great visions, a big talent for crafting and an eye for the details in craftsmanship, as well as filmmaking. I'm looking forward to your next video. Keep up the great work!

Hello! This is incredibly kind of you to write! Thank you so much❤

Notes - If i look and sound sick in the beginning of the video, it is because i was. - The log came from a branch that broke off a birch tree. - I can not properly hear the audio, or how loud it is, because my headphones frickin suck. - I only use the camera microphone when talking, so it is a little muffled and there is that sizzling white noice. - Nothing of the log was wasted. I use the other parts for other creations. - I wear a mask when I saw and sand, just take it off to talk or blow the dust away. - I used organic sunflower oil as a finish. - It was NOT bird poop on the rocks at the end. It looks like it, but it is just how the rock was. - I am very sorry if the detail carving of the comb was too long and boring. I wanted to show everything I did, but will not be offended if you skip.

Thank you! What a compliment :)

I'm baffled by the quality of your work! I'll be trying to do something similar but it'll probably be far less impressive. 😅 Thanks for the video, it was both inspiring and entertaining!

That comb is beautiful! Great video; thank you!

[@Findmeinthemist]

Thank you☺

For small raised dots you might try experimenting with a nail setting punch-they are cheap and come in sets of three to five. Rather than sandpaper, a possible alternative is to use mini card scrapers-they give a glassy knife cut finish as they cut the wood fibres rather than abrading them. I’ve also found that antler and bone can be carved into different shaped tips then polished-the sides and tip make for beautiful burnishing tools, bringing a high shine to a piece of wood (they also ‘rub out’ my mistakes where there is a little flake of wood in the bottom of a ‘valley’ where two cuts meet and save me a lot of loud, poor language…😉). I hope that you find some of these ideas interesting. Happy carving!

[@Findmeinthemist]

That is great advice, thank you for taking your time to write this, i will definitely look into it :)

[@ЛобоваЮля-т8щ]

I have never carved anything but now I want to try. It seems like a meditative activity. Thank you for your video ❤️

[@Findmeinthemist]

It is meditative, when it is working the way you want it to😅 It can be frustrating as well, but I wish you good luck if you decide to give it a go♥

[@ЛобоваЮля-т8щ]

@@Findmeinthemist thanks 😍

[@opsedopsers9874]

Ive been wanting to make a horn or antler comb for awhile but ive been worried about messing up the material. This seems like a better starting point thanks for the inspiration 👍

[@Findmeinthemist]

You are very welcome! I hope it will go well with making it☺ Wood is a very nice material to start with, to figure everything out first. I would recommend birch wood if you are a beginner. Birch is strong but flexible, and very pleasant to work with :)

Girl with hand tools - unbelievable. Great job! We need more)

[@D.I.Y.BUSHCRAFT]

Parabéns pelo vídeo. Muito legal

[@Relaxingmusic11110]

I don't know why but I always get attracted towards viking things, even when I open videos unknowingly most of the videos are of people from Scandinavia!! So Strange experience! ❤❤❤

[@terrain-hardy]

fed video ... Den kam er fan'me godkendt ;-) many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work

[@Findmeinthemist]

Mange tak skal du have☺

[@emeraldfox7175]

Absolutely love it luv.❤

[@Findmeinthemist]

Thank you :)

[@audreymeyer5616]

That is so neat that you carved that. I was hoping to see you comb your hair with it.

[@Findmeinthemist]

Thank you! ☺ I would have liked to, but since i wanted to sell it, i did not want to use it on my hair and potentially get it dirty.

[@tonypapworth4902]

Beautifully done

[@Findmeinthemist]

Thank you ☺

[@RaccoonInACocoon]

Exquisite!

[@Findmeinthemist]

Thank you☺

[@WanderFloor]

Looks great! But the proof of the pudding is in the eating, have you been using it? If so, how is it?

[@Findmeinthemist]

I don't know. I made it to sell it, and i sold it a few months ago. I made it the same way i always make combs though, and they always work nicely :)

[@arielflorian3617]

May I purchase it!?

[@Findmeinthemist]

Yes you may☺ I wrote my contact email to you in the post :)

[@GlowUpSubliminalsAU]
