Another great tutorial 👍 I took inspiration from your Santa project last year . I made about 20 , recently sold them . My first carving sales . It’s quite a buzz when someone actually thinks your work is worth spending hard earned cash on . Thanks for the inspiration 👍

May you and your family have a wonderful and blessed holiday season Jesus is the reason for the season let us remember him ...

[@breaunythomas4052]

Pagan holiday. Deuteronomy 12:31 You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.

[@johnjude2685]

My favorite wood carving artist, I've had basically a hard time learning from you....But this video is simipided for my s l o w brain, BIG THANKS for becoming a teacher that I can understand. About the direction of the wood grain is something teachers don't mention enough for us to begin. I'm experienced a little as I've done your white mouse that our wife's both likes and I did a fair job with?? I'm thinking this video is so great for teaching information you could call it " The lesson for Dummies video " but you are much too nice to say that Sir this is something I want to do possible the first carving this winter but will be doing for certain. ƁIG THANKS Alex and I do watch the Carving and Carving Show mostly the tapes you both should have the day and time posted for the show I'm thinking 7:00 am Thursday. I'm delighted seeing these easier to follow instructions hopefully you're advanced students don't get bugged but these instructions because I need to learn. I want to use the skills to add to my furniture building. Thanks? Thanks Thanks And please share that buck some time later

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks John for the kind words! Glad you are learning!! I'll keep you guys posted on the deer!
