Wow that’s amazing work on such a small piece. Kutzall burrs are the popular choice for many wood workers. In every video I watch you work I can see why.

[@MattCarves]

Thanks Linda. Yes kutzall is my number one burrs. Cheers 👍

Fantastic video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MattCarves]

Thanks Rachel 👍

[@williamfawkes8379]

Really nice. People do like stuff like this. And its always nice to be able to have a range of prices if you are selling your creations. I think that a small pendant like this makes a great little charm to put on a kiking staff/stick. With a small bit of leather or cord, this can add a ton if cool factor to your walking aid of choice.

[@MattCarves]

Cool Idea William. Cheers for watching. 👍

[@williamfawkes8379]

@@MattCarves wow, I look back and wonder what the spell checker is actually doing for me.

[@MattCarves]

@William Fawkes haven't seen anything weird in your comments yet. 👍

[@retiredoba2836]

Really like the way you demonstrate “burr use” and performance. Adding the “eye detail” is nice… I wish Elm and Yew wood was more available in the US Southeast. Maybe I just have not located a source yet…

[@MattCarves]

Cheers, if it makes you feel any better those woods are pretty hard to get here as well.

[@julieakehurst2754]

Nice little fox with a simple shape🦊

[@MattCarves]

Simple is good 👍

[@DIYwithlindaMae]

Wow I really have been craving woodworking but not your typical woodwork..I honestly just love the smell of wood in all forms this is extremely inspiring 😊

[@MattCarves]

Thank you Linda, I am of the same thought wood is a great material. 👍 Have a great day 😊

[@jmh119]

Hi Matt! Thanks for sharing. Gonna have to give it a go myself.

[@MattCarves]

Cheers Jim

[@micahdavis214]

I'm definitely going to use the sponge under my wrist for control great tip thanks matt

[@MattCarves]

No problem 😊

[@justjanese4753]

Matt!! This is so cool! It turned out so cute!!

[@MattCarves]

Thanks Janese

[@semajruffin6536]

Thank you

[@clairetolmie5640]

They are beautiful Matt! I think its Jonas Olsen who is the originator of this much copied design, well worth a follow!

[@MattCarves]

Yeah Jonas channel is pretty cool. I never knew he was the originator of that design, looks like a simplified celtic wolf amulet to me. He probably should of copyrighted it, he would be rich now.

[@terryreilly3949]

You’re very talented. Bravo mate 👏👏

[@MattCarves]

Thank you very much!

[@markanthony559]

Cool little fox 👍👍👍

[@MattCarves]

Cheers Mark 👍

[@MultiTom1956]

Beautifully done Matt❤ thank you 🙏

[@MattCarves]

thank you Mahendra

[@lavendelblue4368]

Very good tutorial. :)

[@saafewolf69]

Great project idea. Towards the end you mentioned a diamond burr. Are there any burrs or bits that you would not use on wood projects?

[@MattCarves]

Yes, I use them on wood. However sometimes they are sold as stone carving burrs or glass engraving

[@deniseghalebi3127]

Just lovely, thank you! What thickness of wood do you use?

[@MattCarves]

Cheers Denise. The thickness is approx 0.3 inch or 8mm

[@larryhopkins8718]

Hey Matt it's Larry. Need a little advice. What is better to you carving hard and wide open or light and half open. RPM wise on your rotary tool? On wood cutters or aluminum cutters. Some insight 🪵be great! 🤣 get it lol. Little wood joke. ✌️♥️😀

[@MattCarves]

Hi Larry. It's kind of a hard question to answer as sometimes I do both. Sometimes I will go full rpm at the start to get rid of the bulk, then I go lighter for details and may lower rs as well. Your question is a good video idea. Cheers Larry.

[@dwane_ashby56]

Very nice mate, I shit myself every time I try do dainty little carvings, very easy to take too much off.

[@MattCarves]

Yeah that is true, but I find those small carvings really fun to do. Cheers

[@tarynwilkins2114]

Hi, I love this tutorial. I'm new to woodwork and was just wondering if beeswax ensures the wood is waterproof? or at least water resistant? Thanks 😊

[@MattCarves]

It would make it water resistant. If you are going to make wooden jewelry every once and a while, replenish it with a coat of beewax. 👍

[@tarynwilkins2114]

@MattCarves thank you! i was also wondering what wood is best for beginners and some pretty woods that will make good pendants? I'm going to try find elm but do you have any other recommendations?😊

[@MattCarves]

​@tarynwilkins2114 best woods for beginners, cedar is good, softer woods generally. Good woods for pendants black walnut, mahogany is a nice dark brown, yew burl.

[@tarynwilkins2114]

@MattCarves awesome. thanks man! Your work is beautiful btw, really inspiring😌🔥

[@honzavojir8722]

Hey, i was thinking about buying a dremel and i don't really know where to choose from, could you give me some advice?

[@MattCarves]

Hi, I carve with the dremel 4000. I bought it from my local hardware shop. I buy them as a kit which means it comes with a few accessories and also the flexshaft which is good for carving. The kit I get is called Dremel 4000-4/50 Rotary Tool Kit Cheers from Matt

[@SoeCarpeDiem]

Hi Matt and thanks for the great advice! I decided to try to make one, I had this project in mind for over a year, except I use Acacia... The extreme flame burr can't get the wood down fast enough. I tested with a Double Cut Carbide Carving and it is much more effective on this type of wood. What kind of tool do you use for sanding? It looks like a sponge on one side? Thx again !

[@MattCarves]

Hi, the sander I use there is a small 20mm one that I can get in New Zealand, I also use this 1inch one that has affilate link in description. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHqtqqpmm5arm6Msi=7_Ph6A6RULReAkMA

[@SoeCarpeDiem]

@@MattCarves Oops, badly expressed, I was talking about the product at 8:46, but finally it doesn't seem to be for sanding!

[@MattCarves]

@SoeCarpeDiem that's Sandpaper with a sponge backing.

[@SoeCarpeDiem]

@@MattCarves Thx Matt, this looks great for handling! Where can we find some please?

[@MattCarves]

@@SoeCarpeDiem i just bought mine at a local hardware store

[@oldncarvingJohn]

Brilliant thanks Matt. Do you sell your jewelry online? I would love to buy something for my wife. If so what is your website?

[@MattCarves]

Yes I do, but unfortunetly our NZ rules for over seas shipping makes it not worth while. So I just sell in NZ. your welcome to look though felt.co.nz/shop/liberation

[@oldncarvingJohn]

@@MattCarves Matt. I will have a look and will pay all extra costs. I really want some of your work.
