Your video tutorials are some the best on KZbin. I like the way you repeat skills from project to project. Thanks.

[@SMOKIN-STICK]

Thank you so much for the lessons! I hope you continue to make videos, even if it’s just you carving. I love your style and your instruction is very easy to pick up and follow. The fact you have taught classes is very apparent😂 Merry Christmas🎄

Nice! Wood boogers be damned!

[@markblais7125]

Just tuned in and saw right away that you're wearing a glove....🤜🤛

[@dywoodcarving]

Always!

[@davidvitale9338]

Absolute must - especially for these small carvings.

[@edday3194]

Another great video! How long and wide is your knife? Would love to get one like it..

[@dywoodcarving]

Hi Ed- I also responded over on Facebook with a little more detail. This is a 1.75 inch Talon blade from Deep Holler Knives. I got it at Mountain Woodcarvers, though their stock is constantly rotating.

[@joyhaynes7844]

I would like to do this in a bigger size like 11/4x 11/4 or 11/2 x11/2 would the height be the same or would I need to go taller?

[@dywoodcarving]

Yes. To keep it proportionally the same, a 1 1/4 inch square block would be 1 7/8 tall. A 1 1/2 square block would be 2 1/4 inches tall.

[@joyhaynes7844]

@dywoodcarving thank you so much! I really suck at math! And thank you for the great videos, keep'em coming!

[@mattymountier3350]

Is your glove an ordinary gardening glove or is it special one for knifework?

[@dywoodcarving]

They are cut resistant gloves with a kevlar weave. There is a link to them in the description and I have another video with more info on gloves if you are interested.

[@RickBarber-x9w]

Are you on face book? I would like to send you a picture of the nine I have finished. I have blanks for 14 more I have to get done. Obviously they wont be done by Christmas.

[@dywoodcarving]
