3 sculptures in one video. You’re on fire dude!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Yeah thats how i felt to be honest. But im making sure to get my skiing trips as well for relaxation

[@laurapiacentinicasarin8205]

The "shake vigorously" is where the magic of the reveal is 💖

[@fl4gfl0ck92]

He did land, sea, and sky :]

[@alricmassie3139]

Asher is an incredible piece! The delicacy with which you carved him is extremely aesthetically pleasing, drawing you into the centre of the piece while the background draws you back out again. It’s like you created a piece that emphasizes both the forest AND the trees. Amazing work!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Its crazy to me how that design translated so well into wood. Learned a lot through that

[@matthewdomeno7267]

I am glad they all sold. Every artist needs to pay their bills. I love the plank idea, you should think about crafting a set to be sold as one piece to be the focus of a wall installation. Good luck, rooting for you.

[@Lunawolf44]

That oil reveal is always incredible, the wood color was so rich on these ones! Gorgeous work as always.

[@petrahachmann5289]

They are all gorgeous..Ayla is so majestic, Asher seems to have a look directly into the sky and Myra has a gently smile while floating in the surrounding wave. Thanks for sharing

[@lesleyhenshaw2878]

They’re all such beautiful pieces, how’re we supposed to choose a favourite. Thank you so much. I look forward to seeing more x❤

[@leisongivangomo4478]

Beautiful carvings! True craftsmanship!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much!!

[@bella_iza32]

Jonas, I think you should carve a dragon....your work is beautfully magical!! Loved them !

[@AllwaysNever]

Absolutely beautiful energy! Unimaginable talent and unique creativity! I wish you nothing but success and happiness!

[@katrinepedersen9660]

They are all absolutely stunning, but I gotta say Asher is just something different. It's something about the balance between wood and empty space there that just works so well. I also love the asymmerty that gives variation and direction without breaking the shape. It really feels like it's painting a picture or scenery, more than the other pieces

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Yeah that was my thinking as well. I did not arrive at a point where i could explain why it works, But it just felt nice looking to me so i went with it

[@everlastingdragon4520]

Now I wanna see an epic fantasy novel with all of Jonas's animal characters.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Hmmm i do too 😅

[@dellearts]

Oooof. Me audibly gasping upon seeing the oil being brushed on. These are amazing. Your work flows so well and just... It's literally breathtaking. :)

[@b.slocumb7763]

It would be cool if you could spend about six months in the US or Canada and make one sculpture after another from all the free wood you can easily find over here, then have a big show in a gallery here. Would love to see your work in person!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Would be awesome and probably a great experience in many ways

[@ionawoodart]

All three works are stunning and magical! I perhaps like Asher the bear most, just because of the 3D bear shape you managed to carve from the walnut. He is perfect from all sides!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you Iona! I honestly can not pick since i get to know them through the process.

[@ericmeder6664]

Walnut is a brutal wood to carve on,,,, bravo on you

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

True! But interestingly enough i have become a lot better at it after getting to know the wood better

[@rdaalways2286]

It s my favorite wood to work with. Very nice. Very beautiful.

[@Nickelberrynsc]

Beautiful! You have animals for earth,air, and water. Now you need one for fire! Maybe a desert animal? ❤

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Yeah i did not think about that. Fire is a challenge for sure!

[@Andre18047]

Hello, love the bear so much!❤ Gives such a warm feeling. Thank you for sharing such beautiful sculptures and the process of making them.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Yeah that one did turn out quite nice

[@lancesavageau8698]

Ayla, you never disappoint.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you!

[@laurenmendes9087]

I love that otter one! Absolutely incredible

[@QueenChalo_]

Otters has become my second favorite animal after the Snow Leopard, so that's my favorite. But they all look great!

[@trishapellis]

Snow leopard would be a fun idea too, but I'd wonder how you'd do the spots...

[@jakeeasterwood3204]

It is impossible to choose a single favorite of these. They are a three piece set of a single masterpiece that should never be split up. It would be like slicing up a Rembrandt into quarters and selling it in pieces.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Interesting take!

[@AcestarArtworks]

I know I've said it before but your work really is beautiful, i love each piece has its own personality and emotions. I love the flowing forms on the raven, the isolation in the bear and the contrast between the flat surface and flowing water on the otter, just stunning works

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I must say i really liked how the otter one turned out and i look forward to explore new designs!

[@ChristaMarshall]

That wood is amazing. It had alot of life in it! Oh and brilliant job!!! Love all of them but the little bear won my heart

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much!

[@clairetolmie5640]

Hey Jonas, i love how you mix the abstract patterns with the natural subjects, it works so well! They are all my favourites for different reasons!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Glad you liked them all!

[@BradRolf-qy4iw]

Hi, my name Sam. I am nine years old and live in Missouri. I like your sculptures. My favorite is your otter on the shell. I got inspired to carve wood. I think you should try an Allosaurus dinosaur! It would be cool.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Hello! Thank you for watching my content. I have a nephew the same age as you and he is also very creative! Hope you have a lot of fun creating stuff!

[@wuggo]

SO good! The bear is my favorite, but they are all awesome!!!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you!

[@xHarpyx]

They’re all gorgeous but the raven is my favorite ❤❤❤

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much!

[@donaldmatthies6026]

Jonas, Wow! You were busy, carving a Trifecta. I think the raven is the best one, but I really like them all. Thank you for taking time to carve, film, edit and post this video

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

You are welcome and thank you for the comment!

[@kiko7247]

Absolutely stunning! I am amazed by your skills. And yes, please, I always wonder about the story of the wood used. Would be a nice touch to the video. The view out there is outstanding, you live in a gorgeous place

[@karinasanchez3285]

Honestly Jonas, all three are perfectly beautiful 💛💛💛

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much!

[@persekore]

Oh, I absolutely adore these! The bear in particular has this amazing combination of power and serenity ... Even though i knew there was no way he'd still be available three days later i still went to your shop to see, just in case. They're gorgeous!! 🥰🥰

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Yes he quickly round his home

[@kamiochambless2590]

Wow 3 amazing pieces out of one plank, impressive. I love the curves in your carvings, you have a very distinct style. 🤩

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@EspyVarela-wn2xz]

You have drawn, beautiful exquisite work in the carving expertise the talent I can’t express how beautiful they are. You have gotten all the four elements earth wind now fire I like the idea of a dragon make a beautiful dragon like the rest of your work. I love them all.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much!

[@jaynedavis3388]

The bird & otter are great, I adore the curves in those pieces. I like the bear Asher best because I love bears but also because I connect with the calm mood of the piece

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I ended up loving them all!

[@mohammedsabba9173]

❤❤

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

I've seen such a big improvement in your carvings since I first started watching your videos. They were wonderful then but now, they're just amazingly beautiful pieces of art. For me Asher catches my heart, its the look into the sky/sun with puzzlement but also with seeing the glory of nature. Well done on all three. 👍😊

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! The challenge to get noticed here on youtube has become a bit cutthroat so i have to try my best.

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft I wouldn't let it worry you Jonas, your work will bring the subscribers, just persevere 👍😉

[@xxhellspawnedxx]

That's one feisty can of oil you have there! The way it fights back, it looks downright dangerous! D: Fantastic pieces, as always! It's always a high point when you post a new video :)

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Yeah that oil has to be shaken real good!

[@LorraineDennison1960]

Wow, they are all beautiful pieces. Impossible to choose which is the nicest. 🥰

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much!

[@LunaWolf6891]

lots of giggles in this one 🤣😂. Cant decide to like one the most but the raven did hit my soul, sadly its sold already, Oh well I will just have to enjoy the anticipation until its my turn.

[@janina8559]

My favorite is Asher. The bear looks like Winnie the Pooh and that makes me smile!

[@alexandermoyle9034]

Beautiful sculptures and drawings!✌️ looks like the bear is amazed at the northern lights

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you!

[@trishapellis]

All of these are so beautiful, Jonas. I can't choose a favorite, I love them all. And it always looks like magic when you apply the oil. One thing I find less than ideal is the little bear's cute paws are turned toward the wall, but then I kind of feel like there isn't really a perfect solution there (the idea of the sculpture is it's looking up at the sunset, so it makes sense that you'd want to see the head). But you know, if that's the only remark that can be made, you can conclude you're doing pretty well 😉

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Its a good point and believe me when i say i was thinking about that when i spend all the time making the details that would not show, But in some weird way that has a lot of value to me

[@Nymfett]

loving the bits of humor sprinkled in, been following for awhile and I am so impressed with your talent!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you!

[@ahac2128]

I love your random funny scenes, keep them up. Also just an idea, could you do a full workshop tour? To talk about your tools, which ones excatly do you use ... And yeah, amazing sculptures, I think you could find buyers easier in wall type art like this

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

No common… its just dust and a lot of mess in the workshop 😅 at least i have to clean it first if i do

[@ahac2128]

@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft That could be your motivation to clean it 😆

[@farscape3100]

i like them all in this order the raven the otter and the bear. i love the extra detail that you put on the ravens wings

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Yeah probably my favourite part of creating is to switch things up during the carving

[@katelynn7937]

Three more masterpieces👏👏 it's no surprise the raven sold so quickly, very lovely design. Happy Springtime! And happy sales! 😊

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! I am back in the workshop on Monday again. Looking forward to it

[@katelynn7937]

Wonderful, hope you're enjoying time with family at your cabin. We're headed up to our little slice of Heaven today as well😁🙌

[@JMS-2111]

I couldn't choose between them I like them all.

[@TommyReeves-kr4gl]

Your wall art is off the chart fella enjoyed your video!!!!!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Ah thank you so much!

[@cynthiat6505]

Your voice is so smooth and then you act so goofy. It’s funnier somehow! And your art is phenomenal!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

The goofy stuff comes naturally and it means a lot to me. Makes everything run smoother somehow

[@karinasanchez3285]

So so gorgeous 🥰🫶🏻, a beautiful sculpture, well done 🙌

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you!

The pinnacle of artistic wood carving

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Oh thank you! Means a lot for me to hear that!

[@cartoon80s90s]

This was a beautiful piece of wood; all 3 sculptures are amazing. I love sculptures with themes based on nature, and yours are among the best I have seen. Your skill has increased considerably in the last 2 years and shows in the pieces you create.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Means a lot to hear and i will do my best to keep it going

[@OokamiKaii]

They all look amazing! Can you please do a baby seal and their mom? ❤❤❤

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

I did plan to do that and yes i think i will in the future

[@nickp3173]

Beautiful work. Sold quickly. God Bless! Keep up the great work, Jonas.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Yeah very fortunate to have them all sell 🙌 that means more tools to invest in

Thank you a lot!

[@rayleenheritage382]

You have such an amazing talent and love the humor you add to your videos. I so wish I could afford your sculptures. Have to check out your store for the pins. You really know how to make the wood come alive and use it's inner & outer beauty shine.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Glad i came up with those designs!

[@sapelesteve]

All of them are amazing Jonas! I would opt for the Bird carving if I had to choose just one. 👍👍🦅🦅

[@henrikh.4843]

Hey Mr. Jonas, what beautiful beautiful sculptures again. I relay can't decide wish one is my favourite, all three have beauty and majestic in them, just how I love sculptures.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you!

[@ericwasson4255]

Gorgeous pieces

[@just_jays_life]

I love the Raven, and the other 2 are also amazing.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you for the feedback! It is interesting to see the diversity in peoples favourite

[@tariqchatur]

The wall pieces are amazing! I love the idea of sculpting to the theme of the wood! You should grab african wood for the rhino one

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Good idea!

[@dianadougherty7187]

You are an amazing artist

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you!

[@nancybrennemann2203]

I think they are all superb but if I had to pick, I choose Myra. The stripes on the tail clinched it for me!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Well i got to agree. Her personality got the best of me as i carved her

[@SirShadowknight]

All the sculptures turned out really good and it is great to se you branch out from logs to planks. It really opens up some ideas that wouldn't quite work with logs as a base form.

[@georgeattig8088]

It’s great to see you joking and having fun. You are a master sculpture artist so there is no need to take yourself too seriously. Absolutely beautiful pieces as usual 🍁

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Very true. There are occations where being serious is appropriate, But mostly through life i think its good to take it easy and be a little bit silly

[@davidrager1350]

All 3 a beautiful!!! But if I had to pick Asher would be the one!!! I love the work you do!!! So keep digging you will achieve your goals for sure!!! Can’t wait to see the next amazing peace or peace’s!!!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much!

[@currygirl7225]

They're all gorgeous! It's so incredible how much detail your able to coax out of the wood. My favorite has to be the otter❤

Oh my What a talent! All are amazing works. I really liked the otter though. The use of design between the grain of the wood to the color choice of varnish. Great job!

[@janehealy2351]

Ooooh you make life difficult! They're all stunning ❤ but Myra is my favourite! I've always had a soft spot for otters, I've only seen them in zoos, because they aren't from Australia 😂

Thank you! I saw Otter tracks here yesterday and we have quite a lot of them!

I have to say Ayla the Raven is my favorite, the chatoyancy of the Black Walnut is gorgeous! And those feathers look like she’s taken off and shed old ones leaving them behind as gifts. I have been following for a long time and am so glad your really letting your personality and humor show through your videos! I hope someday you can come to the states and travel around getting to work with all kinds of unique woods and host a show here! I’d love to see what you’d make from trees like Coffee trees, Dogwoods, and Redbuds which are native to my state!
