It seems you are finding joy in these quick wittles, as you continue to generate them. Thank you for bringing the refinement of your larger works to these charming pieces.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks a lot! And well said!

Alec, Outstanding video for beginners. You are the “Bob Ross” of instructional woodcarving. Your commentary of what you are doing and how it leads into the next steps makes me feel Like I am sitting right beside you and get to see the fine process of your cuts. I’m hooked, keep up the good work!

[@jenarovazquez6380]

Man i went and bought books to follow carving faces and didn’t come out the way i wanted i followed you and what you showed in these carving and came out perfect especially with the techniques you show big thanks

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Fantastic work, I think the amount of expression in your carvings is amazing!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you!!!

Thanks Alec. Great video. Love your whittles, as always. A side note. I found some "Basswood Honey" at a local farm stand, I had to get it. It's delicious, I never saw it before. I'll be sure to get it again.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Oh wow, I'll have to try that sometime!

Oh by the way I really enjoyed the carving

Thank you!!

[@MasterVladimirovich]

Hello! I constantly watch your videos and have learned a lot for myself. I have a question or even a request. Can you make a small video lesson on cutting out a woman's face. Cut from a wooden corner, the same as you use to carve small forest spirits. Thanks!

[@patriciawaterman9764]

Great video! My problem always seems when I try to carve against the grain. It’s been difficult on most of my projects. I am just starting out so I’m thinking my knife is not sharp enough or maybe I need to make a different cut. Do you have any videos regarding cutting against the grain. Thanks😎

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Yes, your knife probably needs to be sharpened or polished!

[@leahannwhite1111]

Когда кончится это безобразие с ин. Яз. Бормотанием? Почему не на русском, брезгуете, что ли? Дурь какая!

[@BobRenda-x8o]

Erase the phrase “without further ado” from all speeches, tutorials, videos. Also, no more “that’s a great question” pls!
