Hi thank u 🙏🏻 beautiful job. I had knee replaced yesterday and watching your videos today, all day . I am going to try carving while recovering! Lol 😆 thanks again great tutorials

You got this!

Great video as usual. I just wanted to mention that is also an excellent eye carving video. With the darker wood and contrasting grain I find it easier to follow than a typical basswood example where the pale basswood makes it harder to see the cuts.

Great point! In this case I wanted to carve this in a piece of cottonwood bark.

Where did you find the short handle wide gouge?

Is that what they call black cotton wood? It seems a lot harder to carve than the cotton wood we have here in Michigan.

What I have here is a very large piece of eastern cottonwood, as I do believe you have as well. I've not carved on black cottonwood, but I do get my hands on plains cottonwood.
