An idea. One word: Victory. Draw, create what you feel, what your soul tells you and you will find it.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I guess you are very right about that. Pretty much all my designs spawn from Impulses i get in the moment.

[@salottin]

Or maybe Ramses

[@abigailgierut7421]

An idea: I would love to see you do a large, multiple carving piece. You could go over the design and choose characters or sculptures that fit together to create one big scene. You can do a video for each section (each separate sculpture) and the process of carving them to fit together. You could even design and carve a large background setting for them to all attach to. Other commenters, comment what kinds of scenes or themes or animals/creatures you would like to see ?

[@salottin]

Hell Yeah! Some mythological thing

[@henrikh.4843]

Yayyyyy, I was so waiting for a new video and wow it was so worth to wait, what a stunning sculpture again. A very good idea, a fallen hawk so much feelings go to it and I love it. I did love too when you started oiling on the eye so its like it gave a feeling to the sculpture and it is saying; I am fallen. Stunning artist you are and love all your videos.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! Perhaps this deserves to be made into an even larger sculpture in the future!

[@pestr999]

In my minor attempts at sculpting wood I'm blown away with your talents. While watching your video I had an idea of a group sculpture of a squirrel, chipmunk, and some mice holding up an object, probably a sign for your studio. Possibly also they could be perched on a branch that holds your sign below it.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Wow that is a lot of carving, But yeah it would be a cool idea to make a group of sculptures that fit together as one piece!

[@spacesquirrelzero]

I was just about to suggest a squirrel 😊 I agree it'll be awesome to see the rodents holding a sign for his studio

[@HelyaRavn]

What a beautiful outcome. When I watch your videos, I always feel incredibly calm and happy. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful skill and your beautiful artworks with us. As for your next project: I would love to see a mischievous or playful raccoon :) I love the idea to hear more about the characters and their stories and families. How would you want to share those stories? With illustrations or more sculptures? I hope you have a wonderful weekend. ♥

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I apprecaite the feedback and it makes it easier for me to make future decissions. May you weekend be good as well! I will probably go for a skiing trip tomorrow!

[@avianavocado6707]

upvote for the raccoon idea! Maybe two raccoons interacting?

[@basicwhiteglitch]

I am REALLY impressed with what you're able to do with wood and how you don't let not having the perfect wood or tool hold you back. I am curious about what you do with the sculptures you make after you're done?

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! It is intresting that you notice that. I am trying to work my way around "problems" and it seem to be working out so far!

[@clairetolmie5640]

A wonderful piece Jonas, i have no problem with the format of your videos as i watch for 'how to' ideas and not just the beautiful results!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I apprecaite that. It always feels good with reassurance.

[@georgeattig8088]

Magnificent as always. For your next project, I would like to see a sculpture of the object that is the most meaningful to you. It can be real or fictional, animate or inanimate ❤

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! What an open ended suggestion. Hmm i would really have to think about that for a while. Maybe it does end up as my final design for my next sculpture!

[@tortveter3385]

Hello Jonas, Tor here. I have been working with wood for a while, and I say you don't despair on the cracks. They are so much a part of the material, and you incorporating them in your work I think splendid. Now, have you ever considered filling them? There are lots of different fillers on the market, or you can fill with woodstrips from the same log, with a matching grain and then eventually tone it to blend perfectly in. Maybe even consider bow-ties to keep your cracks from expanding. Watch some furniture-restoring videos of Thomas Johnson, maybe it could help you. Love.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Hello and thank you for the kind words! Yes i have concidered filling the cracks for future projects. It will make it a little bit easier since i dont have to worry about the placement or the design that much. I think i will do some epoxy work next year

[@petrahachmann5289]

Oh this sculpture Transport so many emotions, I understand why you suddenly think of lord of the rings. It is so majestic and to get the oil in this way to his eye makes it so amazing, as if he come to life for a last moment. Thanks a lot as every time an amazing artwork. The idea for another sculpture from me is a hedgehog…it is such a great feeling when I saw them in my garden.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! It is my pleasure to share these videos with you. A hedgehold would be cool, I would probably have to drill holse for the spikes since it would take me years to carve them out of a solid piece of wood.

[@chemobitch7953]

You know a fox leaping to reach falling leaves would be beautiful, especially with the serene look you keep on the faces of your designs. As always this was gorgeous!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

A good idea! Lots of movement. I am for sure going to make more foxes in the future. Maybe this idea can be used next year for my Autumn 2 sculpture

[@TheArtz19]

I would commend your for the mere design and cinematic effect alone, of the oil dripping in each spot you presented is very nice. I think when it came to the base, i was happy to hear that most of them you aimed to be temporary. although nothing was incredibly wrong with it it didn't feel as seamless as you other projects I've seen. I'm not sure if that means that the overall shape and vertical blocky shape of it didn't fit in my eye, or me wanting some other element to link them together. I actually thought for at least a moment that the cracks in the base were something that could not only link it together, but was also something connecting the vine patterns near the head of the bird. Since you have usually had a layered and nature/leaf looking elements in all areas, i was thinking this might have been an accent on the base connecting the cut out/down element of vines/veins creeping up from the bottom of the base and then into the bird. perhaps some other side narrative to the bird, or reason for its sleep/rest if that makes any sense.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thanks for the feedback! It is interesting to read, I do still think a more slim and perhaps black base would fit better and i can see the point that you are making.

[@shk2564]

After watching a few of your videos I am getting motivated to finish a project that I started almost 20 years ago. My father-in-law gave me a block of walnut from a tree he had milled after taking it down and it was stored in his garage for 30 years. I carved a lion laying with a lamb to the point where it is time for the finer details and the wood was so hard that my cheap tools were breaking and I was afraid I would ruin it. But now I have a dremel and I am convinced it is the way to go instead of simple hand tools. Wish me luck! You do incredible work and you have inspired me to make a go at it! 🙏❤️

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Good luck! By the way i think hand tools work well also, But they have to be supersharp! The bits from Saburrtooth seem to help me a lot in combination with diamond burr bits for the final finish. When i use the diamond burrs i run the at low speed to not burn the wood.

[@shk2564]

@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft thanks for the advice! 👍

[@PumpiPie]

What a talent. Everything from drawing to carving and the style of making the videos 😊👍 I love it, keep up the good work :) Proud norwegian here 😅👍

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! I am at around a percent of Norwegian viewers and it is always nice to see that people have noticed my work! Cheers!

[@_.Ivan._.]

i love content creators who thank their audience for being there at the end of the video, like, no THANK YOU FOR ENTERTAINING ME

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Oh thank you! Much appreciated!

[@karinasanchez3285]

How absolutely beautiful 💛. Well done Jonas 🙌

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! Its fun to try out these unique poses for my sculptures

[@trincywalker7497]

So far I've fallen in Love with the Fox and Lion sculptures. So I would suggest more animals and maybe do a series with alternating celtic pieces in each one. Like cats, dogs, wildlife or other series would be amazing.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I hope i get to make most animals in my career!

[@burningtrash6330]

Oooh a cool narrative could be something like, these videos documenting a bygone era is some type of fantasy world. Like my you narrate the video as an explorer that finds the sculptures in various ruins and talks about what they think the history behind them is as well as admiring the marksmanship. Really cool videos, as someone just getting into wood carving it's really fun seeing what others can do. Also, love how relaxed your voice is, very calming especially when i feel a bit restless.

[@captainsarcasm1567]

I would love to hear about an expanded universe you have with these sculptures, or hearing the stories behind the characters in the sculpture. I love stuff like that!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thanks for the feedback! I would tey to do that and i have, But when i did the story i came up with felt cliche. Maybe i need to base it on life experience for authenticity

[@suearmstrong3404]

Your work is exceptional! I am in awe with your sculptures and your amazing talent. Watching your videos is a real treat, I can't wait to see more of your amazing work!! ❤

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! It is really motivating to get feedback like this. I would like to up my video quality for my upcoming videos with some new investments!

[@lenoremomaseeta5743]

Another great sculpt and video. I love how you describe what your doing and y. Your concentration to detail pays off big time. 🤗❤

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! I try to keep it interesting and tell you about things that has been going on both with the carving and on the sideline!

[@zphoenixrage7791]

Wow, thats one of my Favorite of your Carvings so Far

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! I really appreicate that. Cheers!

[@amirghost88]

I would love to see a Skoll and Hati chasing the sun and moon as a sculpture with your style!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

That would not follow my idea of just making unique designs, But perhaps i should give it a go and see if i could transform it far enough to call it my own.

[@m.maclellan7147]

I had a carving teacher and his advice for carving wood with a crack was to just keep going. The less wood there, the less cracking ! (Once wood is dry, tends not to crack more. Less wood dries faster, so less cracking!). His name was Joseph Wheelwright. He carved actual TREES ! GREAT ARTIST, & a kind gentleman. He passed away & I really miss him. Look him up online if you want to go bigger ! 😉

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Hey yeah i notice that myself!

[@ilicnatasa1994]

This is so beautiful! All the sculpturea you make are amazing peaces of art and I am looking forward to see them all together :) As an idea for your next sculpture I would suggest your pet in a way you see him (goofy, or serious, or just sleepy).. I remember seeing you with a dog (and you talked about loosing a dog once also if I remember correctly). It would be amazing to see the passion and love you are already giving on a whole new level, by making sculpture of something you truly love!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! That could be interesting. If i where to make a sculpture of something i really love it would have to be something as odd as couldberries or blueberries. Gathering ressources from Nature is one of my favourite activities!

[@jasjawubbolts4535]

This might be my favourite sculpture of yours (yet!). The movement, the expression, the designs, so amazing. It really has such a story and strong emotion, I love it! Hopefully we can see many more like it

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that

[@AaronBosterMD]

I love your videos. Your tools, your working set up, and your way of thinking through a project all closely resemble mine...if I had 11 fewer children. So I feel a vicarious connection to you. I am occasionally tempted to strive for the things and pleasures of this world, but eternity is much longer. May God give you success in all you do.

[@catherinetetrault4789]

What a gorgeous sculpture! I'm new to your channel and I was very mesmerized and glued to the screen. You are amazing and free spirited with your art and what it is saying. I think you should choose what your heart tells you to do. Kudos to you my friend.❤😊

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! That is some good advice and its the path i will continue with unless some uberich pays me to make a commision, then i can be bought haha

[@jennylawson1980]

So beautiful. I commend you for your exquisite eye for detail. My suggestion would be something from your dreams, either real or magical. You are definitely a carving master 😊

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I can at times start to dream about designs if i draw a lot. An very interesting suggestion!

[@ionawoodart]

Another beautiful sculpture Jonas. I love the hawk's expression, you really nailed that!!! Beautiful wings, too!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you Iona! When i started i thought «hey does wings even fold like that? And maybe they dont, But it is a good thing that it is possible to add some magical fantasy to the sculptures!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you!

[@JoannaFalkowska]

Don't change anything in your videos that isn't coming to you naturally. If you're not a storyteller, then don't force yourself to become one just "for content". There's plenty of people out there people who simply want to see your existing skillset grow, and your patience and creativity come to fruition. You're doing good. And maybe consider adding sanding back? ; ) I'd love to see how the sculpture changes from the more coarse state to the super smooth polished one.

[@jayjaychappo]

Thank you for giving a lovely imperfect piece of wood a beautiful story. As far as ideas for you goes… I love a good back story especially if there is cross-over (I guess getting into the realm of world building a bit there) but I would never want you to feel pressured into any certain ways your work goes, as obviously your creativity and skill rests on an absolutely incredible Imagination as it is.

[@markdecker8020]

I was just thinking that you should be putting out a new video and here it is your work is perfect and the details are perfect thank you be safe

Heyy glad i could meet the expectation! I am hoping for my next one to be ready before christmas!

[@matthewmorrisdon5491]

I love the idea because standing eagles are over done. Good job too!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Yeah i like to be unique, But i also celebrate any other sculpting adventures

[@cadenceh8528]

What about some sort of big cat with your own twist on it? Of course that’s big cat as in lion/tiger/leopard so make it whatever you size you deem fit :) You put focus into the patterns of your pieces so it’s not super flat and with every video I’ve seen it’s so good! So definitely my idea would have to be a cat with some sort of pattern. Can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@jayvii1500]

A beautiful piece! I know you mentioned these bases being temporary, but I love the cut of wood you chose for this sculpture’s base. It’s as if the force from the hawk falling has cracked and splintered the base, which I think makes it even more impactful. Great job!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Maybe i should reconcider and keep the base as it is!

[@georgematys2387]

Very impressive and great work my fellow carvist! I have carved rock only for a year or two but I sometimes imagine switching mediums. Thanks again for sharing your talents 🙏

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I think it is good to work on different mediums since it can keep things fresh

[@xlisax99-ou7pw]

Really really cool Jonas! Great work once again:) You know what would be a really cool base for this one, a natural rock!! Like it fell down onto the rock.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I had not concidered that at all! It would solve the stability problem and it would probably look pretty cool as well!

[@xlisax99-ou7pw]

Yes i was imagining the godlike hawk fight ing de other creatures and fell down onto the rock with Moss on it. And charging there to go back into battle to fight the evil hehe!

[@jaromir_kovar]

what a beautiful statue. So expressive and calming. Thank you for talking us through your artistic process as well. It is a glimpse into another world for a person who doesn't do such art. For a suggestion - considering the lines, curves and shapes you often find in your sculptures, I thought that maybe an octopus would be a being you would do justice.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Yess! I want to do that. It would be so much artistic freedom

[@RatOfTheWoods]

Recently I have been having fun making works based off of the branching answers of questions! Currently I am making a series of pieces from the question "how does change make people feel/what does change look like?" & I feel as it something open ended such as that can lead to many creative ideas!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! That would be fun to try!

[@p.b.6702]

This looks so amazing!! Also you could take some of the animals you made, and turn them into "regular characters"! That fox? Maybe sculpture of being older and reaching the end of its path?

[@Kristofff696]

Your talent to draw and carving just blew my mind. As much I started caving my small project. My Mjolnir and Jormungand is just small child necklace compare to even Your wolf heads. And other stuff like that hawk? It's just other level of carving.

[@wolfcara16]

Your videos are very pleasant to watch. You take great care with the light, the camera angles and the edit of the video. It looks absolutely magical, when the first brushstrokes of oil hit the wood. As for future video ideas... that's actually a hard one. Your format ist pretty straight forward as is your craft. You did mention, that you're getting more comfortable with finding the sculpture within the wood and that you can't always make sculptures of such large size. I believe, that going for a smaller piece once in a while is the only suggestion, i can make without trying to meddle with your style. I actually kinda looked forward to the tiny fallen hawk, that one could cradle in their hands, but then you whipped that big log out 😅

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much!

[@courtneysroad]

Another absolutely stunning piece! Your skill and craftsmanship are delights to behold! As for an idea for you: what about an underwater creature? Something sleek like a shark or an eel or something textured like an octopus or starfish, perhaps? You create such wonderful movement in your pieces that I believe you could pull it off!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! That sounds like a very interesting idea!

[@sussiemikkelsen1764]

Your sculpture looks amazing!! Yet another home run! Seriously mate, each one gets better and better and I can't believe the amount of artistic talent. Have you ever thought of doing aquatic animals, or trying to sculpt in another medium? They could be some cool experiments, but I guess as long as you have fun! Enjoy, and congrats on another amazing sculpture/ video :)

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I have recently been thinking about trying to practice a 3d program. I think it would help me bridge the gap between design and sculpture

[@simonheller5657]

Another gorgeous piece! As far as ideas for your future videos, I think that a part of your talent that might be sleeping on is the designing process. Your sketches and drawings are incredible, so maybe delving a little bit more into those would be worth doing? As for a future project, how about a dragonfly? Different textures from the creatures you've done so far.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

I dont have the proper tripod to film my design process, But you have the best point, I should really spend more time recording that process. I will give it a try for my next video!

[@user-ku3yq6uu7s]

If you use beeswax on the cut ends of logs you plan to use as soon as possible after they are: this will help halt much of the cracking until you are ready to carve. Sometimes it can work to heavily oil periodically throughout caving. And finish after staining with oil. “Boos Lock, Mystery Oil” if you can get it where you are. Something similar should be available as alternate. This is specifically designed for wood countertops and cutting boards.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you for the valuable tips!

[@sarahcatherinerabb]

I think expression wise, this gotta be my favourite so far as well... I would love to see a horse or dragon sculpture next, or the griffin one u showed us in the sleeping bear video... its so beautiful

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you!!

[@user-ku3yq6uu7s]

Making bases;check with companies that make headstones. They often have off cuts and mistakes, in granites and marble. Another option is places that specialize in stone countertops, again off cuts and mistakes. I like to make a “pile” of random colors and different types of stones. As for ideas for next projects, I would love to see how you would design/create the mythical turtle that holds up the earth sitting on the four elephants. I know, a lot of different bits to bring together. Maybe suited to a more future project. How about a narwhal, or an orca. ;)

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

I should look into that. Stone does go great with wood. I love your suggestion! Would be really time consuming, But maybe well worth it!

[@Goodbye_Pepper]

I watch your videos for relaxing, so stories would fit in nicely! I also like learning about animals and folk tales, so if you draw inspiration from those you could talk about it more!

I'd really appreciate a longer look at the final result! More angles, better lighting, zoomed in shots that are allowed to linger for a few seconds. Also, jackalopes!

Ah that is noted! My head is a little blury at the end of the projects which can make my judgement of certain video elements poor, But feedback like this does help me to get better at polishing new videos!

I love your work.... I wouldn't change anything personally.. As a suggestion for a sculpture would be a big Amazon Parrot 😍

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I am all for makin more bird sculptures! There is so much you can do with the feathers!

[@Hellohello-mj4fs]

Awesome video, congrats! Would be interesting to know, at the end of the video, how much time it takes you to make the sculptures!!

Oh so you like stats? I do to and perhaps i will make a short list in my next video like a summary.
