Good to see you breaking out the big tools! I always regret burning my larger carvings too, never works for me but you brought it back to make a great wizard!

[@MattCarves]

Cheers Claire. Yeah it looked terrible sanded it back for ages. Probably will stick to wood dyes in the future. Hope your well and enjoying summer ☀️

Great video Mat loved it I’d love to see beach combing one day NZ has some of the best beaches 🧙‍♂️

[@MattCarves]

Yeah we have some great beaches. Unfortunately no cedar on our beaches though. I did carve this from a piece of driftwood kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaqsp6Wvrr97g5Isi=HNT91iToetPhW0q4

Another winning carving. Very nice Matt. I have been doing some carvings in Red cedar after I burn the logs (Shou Sugi Ban). The color contest is amazing I have made a few videos on the carvings. I’d really like to see you do some carving with this material. I’d really like to see what you could make from this!!

[@MattCarves]

Very cool! I just looked at your video. It got me thinking for sure. 👍😊

[@crumbocrumbo6814]

I just bought some red feeder for carving. I would really like to see your videos but can't seem to find the link to it.
