Beautiful work ❤️👏

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@christopherazzopardi2062]

Excellent carving. It must be really difficult to carve such soft wood.

[@stansteel8]

Very, very nice work, I appreciate your keen design sense and well-honed craftsmanship. I'm at last eagerly returning to sculpture and carving after a long career in television, and you've further inspired me. I mention television only because I can further compliment you with some authority on how well lit your videos are and how good your mic placement is -- especially for the wood carving genre! Being able to so clearly hear the wood shave off is priceless for gauging the pressure you're using, really feeling the density of the wood you're working on, etc. Despite academic training in sculpture and design, I expect I'm going to learn a thing or two from you. Thanks so much for making these videos and making them with care. They're a wonderful resource.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Really appreciate the encouragement! Especially from someone with your background! Thank you!

[@bottegin]

hi, why do you prefer to use cottonwood bark compared to other types of wood? congratulations for your job

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you! It is very easy to work! Soft and holds detail fairly welln

[@lesliecrowther7004]

Absolutely superb bit of work. Very very impressive indeed great skill and vision and not a pencil line anywhere. Definitely something to aspire to and maybe one day be able to achieve the same end result. Question if I may 🤔 what type of wood are you using ??? Or is it one of those very thick barks that is like a wood ? Any advice or help greatfully recieved. Cheers Les.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you very much! It is just bark! Cottonwood bark!

[@wolfdanielowski1288]

great work ... love this guy .. the carving that is. Are you working from a photo or are you letting the wood talk to you?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

It is a commission and the customer requested his father influence the face of the sailor. So I used a reference photo!

[@dschafar6679]

Hello, maybe it seems a bit weird to ask: how do you fasten/fix your piece of wood onto the easel?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I screw the piece of wood to a plywood fixture and then clamp the plywood to the easel using 2” spring clamps.

[@dschafar6679]

@@AlecLaCasseArt thank you :)

[@alanstrini500]

Hey man where do you get your carving tools

[@seven_eleven87]

What kind of wood is that? Looks so soft or is your tools extremely sharp??

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Both are true! The tools are sharp and the wood is soft! It’s called cottonwood bark.

It’s actually bark, cottonwood bark

[@bestofluckusa]

You have fabulously artistic carving skills and the guy has just the character and expression needed. I was thoroughly enjoying the watch and looking forward to the finished product when the video ended abruptly. What's the idea of that? I feel completely cheated! In future please either finish the thing (preferably painted as well) or warn us in advance. I WOULD have subscribed.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you Ray! And sorry you felt that way! The carving was finished by the end of the video and I don’t paint carvings very often but that may change in the future! Thanks
