Making A Wolf Wood Carving From The Design to The Finished Product

[@ethannance8848]

To be honest dude, most people here are watching for your woodworking skills, not your filming and editing skills. Don’t feel bad if you don’t think some of the camera views are very good, the quality of your carvings more than make up for it. Thanks for the upload

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! i appreciate that!

[@tmy8711]

I agree with Ethan. With time your video editing skills will improve, but don't lose focus on your woodworking and finished products.

[@henrikh.4843]

Hey Jonas, don t be so worried about how your videos are, they really are cool and perfect as they are, promise me please you never change the way you are and your art, wow, I don't have words but I can only say, you truly are an amazing artist. Please do more videos and stop apologising for something where there is no need hehe. Till next time, warm greetings :D

[@suecollins3246]

I agree!!!!

[@bharathreddy3331]

Why do people even dislike this video...? His work is incredible..

[@suecollins3246]

Envy? Just sheer-downright miserableness? Who knows how the dark unhappy minds of the narcissists work?

[@greyspot00]

I gave up once I saw how amazing your pencil work was. There's no way I could make something so beautiful, much less carve it out of wood.

[@stevensparks2426]

When someone makes wood carving seem as easy as jonas olsen, there's no question in mind, this guy can do anything, from looking at his sketchs ,actual wood craving to finish, including explaining and demonstrating , you done great job , I'm an artist, with Some wood craving experience, but not a pro like this guy

[@johngoodall7097]

Jonas thank you so much for this video and your commentary, so many people making these don`t speak much, and at least we can all understand your thinking, and your process to make your Unique carvings, they are superb. The trouble you go to shows through by the results and I for one love things which are different, and yours certainly are different!!! Looking forward to the next ones soon I hope.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you!

[@WrinkleRelease]

I appreciate that you are self-taught and even talk about that. It helps me see that the mistakes I make aren't unique for me. A lot of times, I wonder if I am messing up in a singular way and missed the obvious, common-sense approach to the work.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you!

[@unonomeshta1793]

The wolf is wonderful !!! You have golden hands! The contrast of light wood and dark wood looks very beautiful! I like it!

[@janetdeloach4712]

All four wolf drawings are great. I really like your videos. As long as you enjoy carving, we will enjoy the amazing results. I love your wolf carving. She has character. Perfect wolf and video. I would love to have a wolf carving like this. You are a true wood artist.

[@daleolsen9879]

You're a great inspiration! I'm still stuck helping my brother at his dairy and don't have any spare time to get back to carving myself so I enjoy watching your work, a sort of voyeuristic carving for me!

First rate craftsmanship and concept. You have every right to be proud of your effort.

[@wpatrick22744]

Awesome job.ive just made my first spoon and now a kuksa shaped like a leaf.i love working with wood I get from our woodlands that's fell.i love using boiled linseed oil to bring out the grains of the wood too.

[@davelangley2965]

Only found your vids today Jonas, but am I glad I did. Have never seen wooden sculptures that I like as much as yours and I have so far only seen three of your projects vids. Your talent seems boundless and with that and your images of how each piece should look, not only in your mind but also on paper must surly be amongst the best out there. I love the way your projects seem to have a mythical look with such attention to detail of whichever animal you are sculpting as the main theme. Not sure if it is the Norwegian element of the mythical look but it works an absolute treat, these sculptures are so beautiful. Given that these vids are only about 4 years old and your young age, I would say that you must have an incredible future ahead of you and your skills will only get better with time. Jonas Olsen, a name every gallery and it's visitors will know before long. Well done Jonas and good luck from a new subscriber.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! This was heartwarming to read. Personally i am focusing all my attention on my work and not so much the bussiness side of it, But if what you say comes true it would be a dream for me!

[@davelangley2965]

Thank you Jonas for your reply. Dreams can come true, and if yours do then it would be richly deserved.@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft

[@SymanWoodcarving]

Great to hear you talking through your design process. Have confidence, your work is great and definitely worth the effort!

[@bjorncj]

You have a good imagination and a very good teacher. It's a rare thing.

[@debyzimmerman6617]

Jonas, your woodcarving is what this is all about. Don't worry about anything else. Your filming and editing are just fine and need no apologies for quality or content either. The gaiety around the wolf's face is referred to as the mane, or ruff...no big deal calling it cheek hair. We know what you meant. The wood you chose really sets this beauty in a light all it's own and it turned out very eye catching for sure. Thanks for sharing!!

[@amirouchelm2979]

Hi Jonas, I'm your great fan from Algeria. you're one of the best carvers i'd never seen.

[@MultiTom1956]

Jonas, you are not only a accomplished carver but a brilliant sketch artist😊 absolute feast to my eyes to watch your project . Thank you so very much 😊

[@jeonguidong1630]

What a wonderful work! I want to display it with the animal models that I made. I always watch your video. Thank you for the wonderful video today. Good luck

I love your sense of humour about the being an unlicensed surgeon, I’ve thought this to myself many times lol

[@AlbiesProductsOnline]

Dood if you want to do a wolf you do a wolf you do YOU!!! and we are so privileged to even be able to see your proses from to bottom of my hart thank you very much

[@marshmonster942]

Love your videos., they are clear and very, very helpful to a beginner like me. I also love your sense of humour. I paused your video to admire your Worx vice bench, I've never seen one before and it would help me so much. My husband saw it too and has bought me one for xmas. (awaiting delivery) Thank you so so much......... I'll keep a eye on your tools for future gifts.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much! Yeah my father bought that Worx vice bench for me from Sweden, it is really awesome, but i think i will invest in one with bigger "claws" for bigger projects! Good luck with you creations!

[@GoodDoggo1]

Honestly a beautiful piece of work! I'm always amazed when I see an artist take wood or steel or stone and turn it from a block into something else entirely

[@roshelstribling3598]

I just made my first small sculpture, just messing around with my new rotary tool. I had a lot of questions...SUPER basic ones, and watching your wolf project may help my next attempt go more smoothly. As a newbie, I liked hearing you talk about the tools you used, and the comments you made about your creative process. Nice video, and amazing sculpture! Thank you :)

[@dr.rajasaurusandunclebonec6526]

I get so jealous when i see someone with talent like this, doing what they love, keep up the fantastic work,,,,,,oh and by the way, the cheek hairs as you call it is part of the mane of the animal, just like a lion

[@corgitokkiswoodworkshop1850]

always glad to see how you grind everything away with high precision. Love this work too.

[@mikechapman339]

My Merlin 2 went out as well. The company said many were made with inferior metal for the gears. Mine was out of warranty, but the replaced it for around 60 bucks. I love the tool.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thanks for letting me know! I will try to have mine replaced as well! It was a pretty expensive tool afterall so would be nice to get it back working! By the way, i bought an arbortech mini grinder a while back, i have just tested it a few minutes, but it looks very promising. It has an a lot stronger engine than the merlin2 so it eats wood like butter

the lighter wood in the middle makes such a cool design, it was probably a tough decision to not go with the same base but the second one does suit it much better, guud artist decision bro

This is the first video I've seen of yours... I'm a subscriber now as well. But anyways, just wanted to say how refreshing it is to see a person who is self taught and uses both manual and power tools and is not afraid to say that they are not sure what they are doing. I absolutely love this sculpture and the video format, showing from conception through to finished product! Very well done sir! Keep it up! I can't wait to go back and see your other videos and to see what you release in the future!

[@Cruzinsusan5101]

Your art is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing - I love watching the transformation from the drawing to the finished product. I would love to see the video slowed down a bit when you begin the actual detail/carving work. I see after watching you that sketching on the art piece is very important and that will help me when I begin my sculpting. I would love to see a fox carving. Thanks again.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you so much!

[@kenspears7159]

Jonas, try a box fan with a square filter on the back. I use a standard (U.S.) box fan of 20"x20" and a $4 filter for a central A/C unit in my shop and it greatly cuts down on the fine particles in my shop. Gorgeous carving BTW!

[@opethfantoo3140]

When I rough out a wolf profile everything is usually good but the ears. Your video just helped me out big time. Turned out Awesome! Also the cheek hairs... very nice!

[@bulletman124XXL]

Great job Jonas! Looks amazing, ,,, and after the Danish Oil it really changed, I need to grab some of that. You could sell this Wolf no problem great work

[@jackkuehneman9300]

Turned out good. Nice job. I would argue about the base though. Many times we get into the habit of always having a trophy style base. I would suggest incorporating the base into the sculpture. Having a base solidifies the objects visual weight. This isn't bad but it does have an effect on how we see the object. If you do like having that style of base, change how it meets the table. Adding little feet to the bottom to give it just a few millimeters off the table will drastically change how we see it. There's more visual interest in something that's lifted up off the table, kinda like giving it more importance.. but great job. Love the videos

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

I definitely agree! I think i might go back and fix that :D

[@s.rivera9568]

Love it! The second base was a much better idea. The first would have also taken too much attention away from the main piece. The 3rd idea drawing reminded me of something that would look great as a display knife.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Thank you! Yeah i agree with you. Perhaps i can make a knife handle in one of my future videos and take inspiration fro the 3rd design for the display
