Carving fox out of wood | Simple whittling project

[@tabularasa_br]

"Our little fox has to breathe, so let's give it a nose" is perhaps the most unexpected, cutest remark I've ever heard in a tutorial video!

[@jakefromstatefarm4771]

wow thats some serious talent👍

[@Werewolfwhittles]

Thank you very much!

[@abysomething2012]

Yes, you’re so good!! Could I ask how many years it took to get here??

I recommend highly the flexcut jack knife has gouges and chisel and hook knife all on neat pocket knife I own one can't recommend it enough also little book of whittling by Chris lubbkemann fox chaple publication 👍🐾🦊🇮🇹🐺

[@Werewolfwhittles]

I think I have this book! And I've seen the knife, it looks really good. Hopefully I'll have an opportunity to get it one day

That's easy: Take a piece of wood and simply remove everything that does not look like fox. Ready. 😂

Exactly :D

[@Thee-daily-fbi-agent]

You should have used a black or brown wash to make the eyes and nose a bit more visible but never the less it's pretty good

[@spookydooksg596]

What type of oil is used? I made a hair pin and was happy with it until I used a polyurethane oil and it made it look too glossy for my liking..

[@Werewolfwhittles]

Hey, I usually use natural oils like walnut oil. Linseed oil is good too (raw is food safe and boiled linseed oil is not). You can also use beeswax. Perhaps you can sand the polyurethane off? Yeah, glossy doesn't look too good on wood, it hides the beautiful natural texture

[@faisal1814]

What do you recommend for a beginner a power tool or a normal carving knife?

[@Werewolfwhittles]

Hey, these are two differents skills... Really depends on what you want to achieve. I say, start with a normal carving knife and see how it goes. If you like this hobby, you will buy more tools including power tools, it's inevitable :D

[@The_MythicalPancake]

where do you get your wood?

[@Werewolfwhittles]

Usually ebay

[@beanie112]

Where did you get the block of wood? And what knife

[@Werewolfwhittles]

bought it on ebay. The knife is flexcut detail knife

[@daydaymarceaux]

What gouges and sweeps do you use?

[@Werewolfwhittles]

I use Yoshiharu H-7 kit of japanese tools

[@caspiansssss_eqq]

what oil do you use to make the wood shine? Also, what wood would you suggest is softest for beginners?

[@Werewolfwhittles]

I use linseed oil or danish oil. Or sometimes beeswax. The best wood for beginners (and seasoned carvers alike, actually) is basswood. In other countries it's also called lime wood or linden wood

[@LiaGridley]

What knife do you reccomend for whittling little animals? I'm not sure which one to get.

[@Werewolfwhittles]

I am using flexcut detail knife kn13 here. It's decent and very versatile, I would recommend it

[@johnathantorres661]

[@janislohman8125]

what kind of gloves are those your wearing?

[@Werewolfwhittles]

Just simple nylon gloves from ebay. I would suggest searching for proper cut-resistant gloves if you are just starting out

[@jaypost6202]

I've been looking for a way to finish the wood without paying an arm and a leg for actual wood finish....what kind of oil do you use to brush your carvings? Does it take a while to dry?

[@Werewolfwhittles]

Hey, I use a number of things. Sometimes raw linseed oil (I cover with oil and then wipe it off almost straight away), bees wax, danish oil. Danish oil absorbs almost immediately

[@Takrit.]

How do you put in the little metal hoop that you run the steing through?

[@Werewolfwhittles]

It's an eye screw, so I just screw it in

[@Takrit.]

@@Werewolfwhittles thanks I was looking for the name of the thing mostly. Very impressive. I also really liked that red maple leaf you made. Lovely stuff 👍👍

Bonsoir et merci de cette sympathique vidéo. Avez-vous les dimensions du bloc de tilleul que vous avez utilisé pour sculpter ce mignon petit renard ? Merci du partage et pour votre réponse, Michèle

[@ICXCNIKA95]

What size gouge is that? It’s really confusing to pick the correct tools to buy. Thank you

[@Werewolfwhittles]

That's a... well, medium size gouge from Yoshiharu H-7 gouge kit

[@Atsute1st]

Hello, I want to ask. Is it OK to use a pocket knife for carving? I'm looking for a detailed knife, it seems hard to find in my area.

[@Werewolfwhittles]

Yes, you can use a pocket knife, just make sure it's sharp... that's the main thing. It may not be as comfortable, but it's definitely doable

[@Alfredoggo]

Could I make a business making and selling these type of things because at 24 working in a factory is killing me mentally and physically and spiritually

[@Werewolfwhittles]

I would suggest getting into some other profession that has more potential and security. Like coding or something. Crafts are never paid by an hour, unless you are tremendously good at what you do and are insanely popular.

[@aegis6485]

Want to buy. Must not cave in.

[@TheCatMurgatroyd]

Mmh... So a professional is wearing gloves. Guess who just started carving and, while having the cut proof gloves laying next to them, CUT THEMSELVES THROUGH THEIR HAND!? 😭 At least it was just a flesh wound but god damn am i stupid 😂

[@Werewolfwhittles]

Oh my, get well soon! Happened to me too many times! Gloves do help a lot, especially if you are just starting out. Hope it's not a very deep wound

[@TheCatMurgatroyd]

@@Werewolfwhittles It was quite deep... so I'll be using gloves from now on 😅 Good to know that this is "normal" more or less

[@solidagold115]

I don't know why I was so stupid and tried to use this as an actual tutorial.. got stuck at a step I have no idea how to do now. Most worthless 30 minutes of my life.

[@Werewolfwhittles]

It's only worthless if you are not intending to carve wood anymore... I had loads of failures in the beginning, and I still have from time to time. But every time you fail, you learn something new - how to hold your knife, how much pressure to apply etc.

[@dakotamckinnon5511]
