I love seeing the different techniques and tools used in wood carving. Every artist has their own unique style.

It would have never occurred to me to attempt this with straight chisels. Thanks for the tip!

[@screwed9967]

My father taught me the leaves,flowers,eagle feet and peacock design. As a 15 years old it's not easy it takes a month or even a year of practicing.This pandemic I am now practicing in how to cleaning the area of the wood with basic tool and it's hard if someone that are not willing to teach you but my father gave me a lot of technique to make it easier.

I bought a harbor freight carving set months ago. I never thought I'd be able to figure out how to get started with it until now. Thank you!

[@machfiver753]

There's a couple things I've noticed that are rarely covered. One is with moisture content of the wood. Dried out wood is way harder to carve and certain woods makes it easier to have tearout and folded broken grain no matter how sharp your tools are. Yet green wood can crack up but is easy to carve. I've found that dried wood that I then leave out in the rain a while then carve once it doesn't feel wet anymore is best. The other is the types of wood to use. I've seen people carve wood that definitely isn't basswood yet carves like it is. I've bought yellow cedar lumber that is terrible to carve yet yellow cedar is what Native Indians carve with. I find carving hardwoods is better than softwoods especially with tearout and bits breaking off accidentally.

If you live near one, stop by a Harbor Freight, they have a couple of fairly simple chisle sets, pieces of which I still use 6 years later, they're excellent for beginners. Also, I never could figure out what to use that V chisle for, so THANK YOU, oh my gods I've just had it sitting on a tiny frame like an oddity.

[@brianbassett4379]

When I used to have time to play I would carve things to give away to friends. I never was never able to look at something I made without seeing the small flaws that either no one else could see, or that they were too kind to ever say anything. I never thought of trying to use them to get people to buy crap on Amazon so I could make a few pennies... I guess the motivation really does make a difference.

What a great video. I work with great colleagues in our local Men's Shed here in Dublin, Ireland.

This video changed my whole attitude about carving. You are great at teaching! (I subscribed immediately.) I used to carve ivory as a jeweler, with a Foredom, and I loved it, but I left that skill behind years ago when I got out of the jewelry business. I've been wondering if it would apply to carving wood, since I'm now in possession of exotic wood scraps that I would like to make things out of. Watching this got me excited- which is exactly the feeling I had back when I first started carving fossil walrus tusks. Thank you so much for your clear teaching and attitude.

The price of carving tools went up in the last year. They seem closer to 45. For what I paid 34 for in 2019. Hopefully they will come back down. Great video enjoyed. One thing I still buy 3 or more of them a year. Well worth it.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Most all the companies have several lines of carving tools and some are the high-end premium and some are the low end. And then it depends greatly on the actual tool Some of the gouges are far more expensive than some of the smaller tips.

[@phildodd9942]

A great inspirational tutorial ! This carving reminds me of a natural material around for decades - linoleum - who you would LOVE as it includes Linseed oil. We ( as children ) used to sit and carve squares of it using V-groove chisels - so those of us over a "certain age" ( remember when the Monkees were in the charts ? ) already HAVE those types of cutters. Of course, when we had "carved", we could "ink up" our linoleum blocks and produce prints from them. When electronic publishing came along, that destroyed the need for graphics generated from blocks. So it is GREAT to see this inspiration from yourself to get those cutters out again from the bottom ( uncarved as yet ) drawer, and to try it on some undecorated wood. Next time that I am featuring as the defendant in a court case, I'll take my cutters and have a go at decorating the defendant's box in the County Court - do you think that the judge will be suitably impressed ? The only thing that I'd do differently than yourself would be to sit down to do this, whereas you prefer to stand... So a big THANK YOU for covering this inspirational topic !

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

thanks Phill. that sounds like a fun past time. I do often sit if I can do a lot from the same angle, but with curving lines I find it easier to stand so i can walk around the work.

[@VagoniusThicket]

Can you use Lino cutters on wood for small details ?

[@phildodd9942]

@@VagoniusThicket Yes ! I've just tried a lino tool with a V-blade and a wooden handle, that dates from the 1950s. It doesn't make huge indentations. The wood has to be held firmly. Two hands may have to be used ( depending upon the operation ). Lino was ( is ? ) sturdy material, that required a good deal of force to scrape gouges into, so is probably rated somewhere between softwood and hardwood. I say that "yes" you can carve small lines into wood with lino carving tools. You may like to take a look at an "Instructables" article entitled "Creating, Cutting and Printing Your Own Woodblock" by "rbanks". When using lino carving tools you need to go slowly and as gently as you can. This method will create fine detail, as you say, and meanwhile using woodcarving tools, having thicker steel blades, for the deeper cuts. If you have some, give it a try ! All the best !
