How to Carve a Maori Wooden Twist Pendant

[@Tergative]

Please keep making videos! Great production quality and clear instructions are great. I love your work

[@ninaclanton6868]

Really practical approach and very good processes for learning to carve. Would love to see more such projects...when you have time.

[@dontquiteknow]

Chaaa-hoooo Legend Brother !! First project and really excited!

[@dennisgeswein2680]

Been loving your stuff on Instagram glad to see you started a KZbin channel I can't wait to see more, this makes me want to get into carving

[@Rc3651]

You make lively work! I'm really interested in seeing how you do joins between different kinds of wood. I've only worked with basswood so I'd like to give it a try some day

[@clackersclarke4450]

Glad I found this. it was good to see something done by hand, instead of a dremel. ( love my dremel though.)

[@WindsongSoundBath]

Um, isn’t a Dremel operated by hand?

[@clackersclarke4450]

A dremel is a power tool. Every power tool is operated by hand. But you would not say done by hand if you used one. You could say hand made if you used a dremel and made it yourself. Done by hand implies using your own power, skill or ability to make something.

Instantly subscribed. Found you on Reddit, might be getting ahead of myself but my first set of woodcarving knives arrive in the mail tomorrow along with some basswood chunks. I'll be starting with wood spirit wizards to get a knack for faces..then I want to attempt this pendant! One day I hope to make a Cubone for my wife! Please keep making videos, I really enjoyed this! :D

Maravilhoso. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho.

[@betsyrodriguez630]

Yesss!!! More please!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@chuckfisher1351]

Beautiful work! Got to try one of these with just a pocket knife. I have gouges and flexcut knives but still love just using my pocket knife. I have to subscribe to you. Thanks

[@sandalsandsox]

Great clip mate! Thank you

[@dvalley3344]

Great pendant! I like your work and have watched you on Instagram. I did not know you used the large wood chisels. I will have to try them.

[@SymanWoodcarving]

I use them for most of my work - I have smaller chisels/gouges but I only break these out for really fine detail

[@alfonsf.6884]

Beautifuls pieces❤

[@peteroberts7334]

Great carving !!!

[@Naturesrhythm44]

Nice work. Does the walnut oil still soak in alright and last after such fine sanding? I thought fine sanding closed the pores off and why most wood workers only go to around 240grit and only go to super fine sanding like you if buffing with a polishing compound instead of oiling? I'm still learning so will be interested to hear your view. Cheers

[@musicisblood2636]

Very nice.

[@fedropetrus3711]

Nice

[@Stringman1950]

Cool.

[@mahrtiniano3420]

So pretty

[@lukey_p]

Great video, pendant looks awesome! Where's a good place to get a Dremel and bit sets like the ones you had?

[@SymanWoodcarving]

Amazon, this is just an dremel 3000

[@lukey_p]

@@SymanWoodcarving Yea I've seen them on Amazon, but their a little pricey for me currently. Maybe I can check my office lab, it's well stocked and has a bunch of tools. Thanks again and great video!

[@obrianblandford648]

Wonderful craftsmanship👌🏽! Could I ask what’s that on your fingers,and why do you use them?

[@SymanWoodcarving]

It's friction grip tape, protects my fingers from cuts.

[@yurii_123]

nice!

[@roseadams8003]

I like the wood. And lighter

[@mycapitalvice]

Hi Syman, I'm working on one of these, slightly bigger, out of Victorian Blackwood. Thanks for the tips. What grit stone do you sharpen your tools up to? I'm going to 1200 but think I'd benefit from going higher. Thanks again.

[@SymanWoodcarving]

Hey! Got a whole video on sharpening on here you could check out if you like. I go to 8000 then strop.

[@rodney73991]

nice

[@kayleenewopershall2629]

Is there any way to make those holes without a dremel? I’d love to try making one of these but have no power tools unfortunately and don’t have the budget for it yet

[@SymanWoodcarving]

It's certainly easiest to drill the holes with a power tool - you could also get a hand drill but I can't see it being much cheaper than a battery powered drill I'm sorry

[@adventurebudgies4762]

I’ve gave making one of these using your video and it turned out pretty good! However, I made it with basswood, how would you recommend dyeing it to give a similar couloir to what you made? Also any tips for sanding in the holes and tight spaces?

[@SymanWoodcarving]

For sanding in the holes etc, best tip is to fold and crease the paper in small strips to squeeze it in. Don't be afraid to rip your paper into tiny pieces and fold them up to best fit what works for your project. Basswood can be a pain with staining as it's soft - make sure you surface is nice and even first and then use light coats.

[@BORISGALAKTIONOFF]

Send me plans

[@chickenator9618]

What is the thickness of the peace please reapply

[@SymanWoodcarving]

The thickness is about 5 - 8mm.

[@bashiruddinmir1854]

RED AND WHITE SANDALWOOD ANY TYPE OF PRODUCTS WE CAN SUPPLY YOU

[@plw7408]

Super 😍 pretty

[@AdelaideDenison]

EASY AS!! So cool!! How long does one of these usually take You?

[@SymanWoodcarving]

Normally I can knock one of these out in an afternoon/evening, including the sanding!

[@moviebag4042]

Woww

[@2371Anita]

I follow you on Instagram. You make wonderful things! 😍

[@SymanWoodcarving]

Thanks!

[@danmi6099]

If you use a carving knife to carve you won’t need to use all the extra tools and it’s stops the need to spend so much time sanding, might help you save some time

Woodglut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.

[@hafzamacie8858]

I am sure it could be improved. Check out the plans on the Stodoys plans website.

[@lindamorgey6736]

My husband uses these plans from woodglut and is very happy with them. However. I love yours!

[@kathiemitchell2949]

Very hard to follow. To far away from camera and dark wood

[@valtosheva]

Too fast, nothing learned.

[@brandyhawking7908]

On woodglut website you will find the plans you are looking for.
