Wife is going to love this when I give it to Her. Thanks for helping us carvers learn and sharpen our skills.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks Chris!

21:08 its like 68.55% for accidental slip 😂

[@jackdon4482]

I did it! (..and it doesn't need watering)Thanks so much for sharing your talents!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Awesome! My pleasure!

[@muddydog49]

I just got a great inspiration, I am going to whittle your flower and add a Sara Barraclough Honey Bee hovering over it. Thanks!!!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Cool idea!

[@jakecivis7402]

Another great video, man. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

My pleasure! Thanks Jake!

[@medicus5565]

What a nice and different project - I'll have to try this one. Was I the only one nervous while you were slimming the stem? I thought for sure it was going to snap! Whew!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you!

[@DaveGreen-fl1bm]

Nice tutorial. Appreciate you sharing your skills with us. Carved flowers make great gifts. I'm carving one tonight. 😁

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Of course, thanks Dave!

[@TdfJNR]

This is amazing, I recently got a wood carving kit and needed some inspiration. I will be trying this project! Many thanks

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Glad to hear! Thanks!

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

This looks like a perfect first whittle project, I really like how it turned out!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks man!

[@andrewgward7]

I was just wondering if you had an email, because I'd like to send a photo of how my carving turned out? As always, thank you for the video😁!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

[@susanp.collins7834]

I'd chicken out on that slender little stem and do it with a dremel...

[@susanp.collins7834]

This is more edge-of-the-seat than a lot of action movies I've watched. Move over Chuck Norris!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Haha! Much appreciated!

[@jazzymin145]

At first when I saw this comment and thought you just meant that it was a good video but then he started carving and every time he would carve I would flinch and that's when I remembered this comment! 🤣

[@claudest-marseille9528]

Salut Alex, a quand des vidéos en français?

[@jeffschmick8279]

Have you ever had a knife break on you when carving? Getting into woodworking and is that ever an issue/concern?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

More often a tip will break off than an entire blade snap!

[@mimib5256]

Perfect as usual👍Alec is the master of the details 💫💯🌼

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Very kind of you! 🙏🏼

[@whittler0507]

Love it Alec .. Great project for a afternoon fun carve ..Thank you my friend for showing us how to do it

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks Gene! Appreciate you!

[@Kelley-i5z]

That's awesome!

[@susanp.collins7834]

You could put a magnet on the back and turn it into a fridge magnet.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Great idea!

[@EnduringTimbereraft]

*Wood carving skills are amazing thank you!*

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you!

[@michealwagnon2444]

I have all 105 issues. Started in 90's

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

That’s awesome !

[@tommiethigpen66]

I must say I’ve never seen anyone carve from the back side of a triangular block. I kept thinking at any moment you were gonna say “Oops!” 🫢 You really did pull that one off! Bravo! Maybe a rose in the near future? 🌹 🌹🌹

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks Tommie!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I’ve got a rose on the carving school

[@tommiethigpen66]

@@AlecLaCasseArt In basswood?

[@tomllawrence]

Very nice! Thank you for sharing.

[@johnjude2685]

Love it when Artist explains the tools and their use. Yes, it can be done with a knife but faster and sometimes safer with and specialty tools. I know you have taught for several years and my little more than 1 year of limited experience ( I run in spells as I've health issues) . I'm trying to say I'm better at relating to your teaching or your teaching school skills have improved. But yes, I'm keeping up with you better. Hopefully, we both improved. BIG THANKS ALEX

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I’m glad to hear it John! Hopefully we are growing together

[@mattvergauwen5307]

Great tutorial! I really think this looks like a hibiscus flower. I have several pictures I've taken for reference and inspiration for an upcoming project. I may have to give yours a go before i finish designing mine. Right now I'm in the process of doing a relief of a sunflower using videos by you and Chiseled Outdoors Custom Carvings as reference and inspiration. Thanks for all the great tutorials you do 🤙

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Glad to hear Matt!! Thank you!

[@shoey64]

Like anything else you sure make it look easy. I realize it's years of experience but still...... Great job.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you!!!

[@garypaulson5202]
