Hi Ryan I had a good laugh at that black and white photo of Big Foot at beginning of your intro He reminded me of half MONSTER FROM THE BLACK LAGOON and a BIG FOOT ! 🤣 Your carving is so "life" like Another amazing Carving 👏 😍 ❤️

[@RyanCookCarvin]

Kevin Lewis lol love u uncle Kevin lol

[@jdmartin2984]

Saw you on big timber...impressive! I've always wanted to carve and you have motivated me even more to chase my passion!

[@GeoffPSU]

Thanks for the tutorial Ryan! It would be nice at the end of your videos to do a full walk around of the carving. I’d also like a little tutorial on what you use for stain/waterproofing and if you like one type of paint better than another etc.

[@RyanCookCarvin]

Denny Rager not a bad idea there. Thanks Denny

[@michaelarmstrong5586]

looks cool great carve

[@gypsywolf58]

That turned out AMAZING!!! I've just done an eight foot one, without prior tutorial. I'm now going to carve one, under you're teachings, and hopefully,cO can nail it as close as you did! Thank you!!!!

[@RyanCookCarvin]

Gypsyrose P that’s awesome let me know if it helps

Ryan Cook Carves TV if you get a chance check out my channel. I have a bunch of carving videos up . Not at your level but I’m working on it . Lol

[@sonnier1972]

[@mosquitobob4349]

Thanks for sharing

[@miketoney5784]

Amazing!

[@RyanCookCarvin]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@denniswilcox7470]

Love Bigfoot, great job what would it cost to get a four foot bigfoot

[@nomad_woodmizer696]

I got a request for a full size Bigfoot, so all Bigfoot carving will help, do another larger one please.

[@donewith8079]

Good job bro

[@chudowood]

Отличная работа!👍

[@scottmarshall6766]

That's nice. Scaling looks great. You're dead on about trusting your instinct. Years ago a fellow that worked for me ran a couple hundred feet of pipe thru a lab hallway along a divider wall, insisted it was level, it was, he put a torpedo level on every piece, but the wall wasn't level. After about a dozen people walked by and said "why is the pipe crooked?" I had him re-hang it to match the top of the wall. The rule after that was "if it looks right, it IS right". My carvings follow the rule, the hard things are the things people see all the time. I hate doing eyes. You can get away with murder on woodspirits or aliens or fantasy creatures because nobody has seen one (lately anyway), but screw up a dog or a circle or (Ugh) Eyes, and a 3 year old will point at it and know it's wrong. Thanks Ryan, I'll be firing up the saws before the snow flies, was looking at a Harbor Freight Jawhorse yesterday Seems OK for a HF (still $129 for a HF copy!!, maybe I'll wait till I can get a Rockwell for another 50?). As soon as I get one, I'm going to give it a go. Don't think Bigfoot would be a good starter. Ideas on a 1st time saw carving? Sticker shock on your cool powered respirator $485 - guess I'll stick with my 3M paint spray model for a while. Someday... Thanks for the lesson!

[@brianpoor763]

very cool

[@RyanCookCarvin]

brian poor thanks a lot

[@TheRealPhototherapy]

What kind of mask are you using in this?

[@seadoogti9288]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but there are no "human eye wood spirit videos" on Ryan's channel. 10:12 Anyone know where to find them?

[@RyanCookCarvin]

Seadoo GTI still editing. Hopefully tomorrow morning be out

[@seadoogti9288]

@@RyanCookCarvin Cool👍

[@kevintulak9987]

So much to learn. When you carve something like a big foot, or fantasy creature, how much license do you take to make it up or do you try to make it look similar to current perceptions of what the general population thinks it should look like? Thanks for sharing.

[@RyanCookCarvin]

it all depends these people wanted a harry and Henderson style so I used reference pics from that but i just go with flow at times but others i use a lot of reference

[@DwA113]

Это круто! Подписался, буду следить за Вашими работами!

[@scottwright388]

I didn't know Sammy Hagar could carve...😁

[@RyanCookCarvin]

[@bradnerling7156]

[@spacesmuggling]
