Whittling Fishermen

[@dougLinker]

One of my all time favourite characters -I have a tiny one on my to do list -nice job as always Kevin

[@KevinCoates98]

Thanks Doug. I grew up in a town full of fishermen. That could be the reason I enjoy carving them on much. Lol

[@brucekearley8971]

Hi Kevin, I have been out of town a couple of days & just seeing your carving now. This is absolutely wonderful! I loved every minute of it. I have not tried to carve a fisherman yet but I need to. Your carving has given me the inspiration to try & as one Newfoundlander to another Newfoundlander I need to try because the fisherman is the symbol of the character, the determination & the integrity that is basis of what makes us proud & thankful to live in this wonderful island province of ours. Through your carving you have helped celebrate the legacy of all our fishing folk. Thanks .

[@KevinCoates98]

Good to hear hear Bruce. These are pretty easy to carve. Thank you

[@jackdon4482]

Proud to say I just finished this one! Its a miracle. Many thanks for your teachings!

[@KevinCoates98]

[@markkortekamp389]

HI Kevin thank you for inducing to white pine . Love it 😮

[@joebtemp]

Yet another great variation on my favourite characters. There will definitely be a few of these done for my collection as well as for family and friends.I just wish I could whittle with the same amount of confidence you have. Maybe in a few more years. Thank you for sharing Kevin, your videos, without a single word spoken are still the best tutorials out there.

[@KevinCoates98]

Thanks Joe for the kind words. The confidence will come in time

What a wonderful character, right down to his stance too. Thanks for the video.

Thank you Gina

Love your carving videos….. very calming

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you

[@drock6310]

That simple wrinkle under the eye elevates the face so much, really good work. You probably make half as many cuts as most people, blade sharpness is so important.

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you so much

[@SoufianeTahiri]

No fancy tools. Just skill. Great as always

Great work Kevin .. Love your characters ..Thank you for sharing my friend

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you Gene

[@garypaulson5202]

Great video, as always. I especially liked the simpler eyes, they look striking and would be a good next step up from hollow eyes, which is what I mostly do.

[@KevinCoates98]

Thanks Gary. Yeah, they are simple but works fine

[@randybradley7427]

You done a great job. Again you make it look so easy. Top notch

[@RustyFender1]

Great job Kevin love the fishermen. Have you ever shown how you paint a plaid shirt?

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you. I'm not sure if I did. Usually what I do is paint the shirt red and put the black stripes on after

[@robertseeburger869]

Another fine carving!

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you Robert

[@indianatone218]

Lovely job Kev thanks , now this is another on the todo list lol .

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you. Enjoy

[@markkortekamp389]

how do you soften your pine wood looking for advice thanks

[@johntheviking7273]

I think you would be the an excellent neighbor, if I had a bug free porch comfortable chairs, good light, it stayed 65 degrees, and you wanted to spend time carving, although I would probably talk a bit more than your videos. I constantly return to your channel and enjoy every one very much. Thank you for sharing.

[@KevinCoates98]

Sounds like a great way to spend a few hours whittling. No doubt on the talking part. Thank you John

[@michealwagnon2444]

Is your roughout knife a cut down "OLD HICKORY "

[@markkortekamp389]

HI where can we find one of those knifes you use ? Been looking

What kind of wood are you carving

[@KevinCoates98]

It's white pine

[@jasonpye3289]

Hello kevin I am new to carving and just wanted to know the top is 4cm and the bottom 5cm is that all the way round if you get what I mean thanks jason

[@KevinCoates98]

That's right for the width. I forgot to put in thickness. It's 1.5"

[@jasonpye3289]

[@FPS31]

How do u carve with white pine so easy? I tried carving with it and i struggle like mad

[@KevinCoates98]

I've had some that's not so easy. I pick through the wood at the hardware store. After working with the pine for so long you can kinda tell which pieces are the better wood

[@ewagner8476]

This is awesome, do you have in person classes

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you. Not for awhile now

[@mariuszlestat]

Super. Jeszcze fajka by mu się przydała 😉

[@KevinCoates98]

It's a modified fish knife
