Thank you for this! My first didn't come out perfect, but that's what practice is for. Appreciate your instruction.

This is a lovely tutorial. I'm going to try it myself. I'm actually an embroiderer and have stitched a green man for a fabric book. It's what sort of started me having a KZbin channel myself. I'll be checking out more of your videos. Thank you for the great tutorial.

Thank you!!!

[@heathpaull1553]

Was just starting a greenman…weird timing. Thanks for sharing!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Very!

[@rcl-crafter8]

Nice job!!! Something different to carve. FYI.....I found a denture toothbrush at Dollar Tree just a few days ago. I'm in the PNW but you can check where you live. It is stiffer than a regular toothbrush. Keep up the good work!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@mymgb238]

Very nice. I think I understand you said a 1x1 but looks larger. I might try 2x2 x4 inch. Great fun

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

It may have been a hair wider, but not much! It would be a great 2x2 project!

[@saskia8230]

great tutorial. I for sure will try this as soon I have the time. Plus on this face is you don't have to worry about symmetry 😅👍

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

That’s right! Thanks!

[@tomevans4402]

Nice

[@indianatone218]

Thats lovely m8 thanks for showing us, its really raised the bar now for us budding amateur's . i take it its basswood ive been practicing mushrooms on limewood , would you say lime woods on a parr with basswood , anyway greetings from Wales ,watch ur digits take care.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Of course! Thanks! Yes, lime wood is in the same family as bass!

[@craig7285]

If you were unable to find the spray what alternatives might you consider using? In the UK so sometimes difficult to get the equipment and materials you have in the US. Great video and channel. Im learning loads and having so much fun with it too. Thanks!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks! I would consider using tung oil!

[@raylt7]

WOW. HOW DO YOU SEAL WHERE YOU PAINTED? THANK YOU!!!

[@AkwarystykaKrystran]

Świetne pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Greetings!

[@bburnham1]

What kind of clear coat spray did you use?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Minwax poly matte

[@NewApologist]

One thing I don’t hear mentioned is building up the strength of your hands when just starting. Are there some exercises that I can do to help do that. I know sharp tools are essential but hand strength has an effect on how deep a cut can be.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Good point!!

[@edkopka9808]

thank you thank you very MUCH is Bigfoot in your online classss

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Of course! It is!

[@matthewnolen7467]

The funny thing dont knock it till you tried it our way of measuring

[@user-md2wd2rz9f]

Какой нож вы здесь используете для резьбы?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

It’s a badger state blade!

[@JanaMusicOfficial]

Why is it that you have to sharpen your knife at a slight angle but when you strop, you just have to put the knife flat and not at an angle? Trying to figure out how the sharpening and stropping works ;d

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

The angle you sharpen and the angle you strop should be the same!

[@docottercarvings1775]

I too like to live dangerously and use my wife’s toothbrush

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Amen brother

[@TreeBug88]

They are stealing my PRANA when I sleep, please pray for me

[@pastuh]

Sometimes I think which body part is most popular to carve.. Ass? Boob? :D Such things not found in youtube.. :X

[@bodvar8832]

Wait a second here, do you actually use your wives tooth brush while carving?.😂 And if so did she ever find out?.😂

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I did not! I’m know better🤣
