I moved to Norway from UK a few years back and it's lovely that the town I'm living in now do public carvings using all the old hand built axes and tools - making viking ships from huge trees etc etc - is just in town every day 😊 Right now they making a viking ship by hand, the smell of wood is delightful each day I walk passed.

I am sorry to hear that, indeed using fresh/green wood makes a huge difference and also the choice of wood. I'm not sure the exact wood you are using, but opt for softer woods such as Birch, Willow, etc ~Peace~

I had the same issue when I was carving with a $40 hatchet. When I bought a good lightweight carving axe, it made a world of difference. Best of luck to ya and God bless. 🙏
@AnnaBarker-qx3wr6 ай бұрын
That's a tough one. A really good lightweight sharp carving axe, like my Gransfors carving hatchet, really helps and remove as much wood as possible with the axe before beginning the knife work. Also use fresh recently cut wood. All the best.
@johanneswerner11405 ай бұрын
I cannot finish them because it just takes me so bloody long! Maybe a new hatchet would help, but I reground my cheap one, it now works reasonably well... I pack them in a small plastic bag so the wood stays wet, but beware: if you don't continue carving within a day or two it will mold....
@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures5 ай бұрын
@@johanneswerner1140 I have seen some videos were people submerge their greenwood in a bucket under water. Then they remove it when it's carving time. Haven't tried this method but may be worth a shot. ❤️
