Thanks very much Rob!

Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm only a few months into carving and being a leftie, found I could follow the video easier than watching a right hander. Sounds daft I know, but only just starting out I tend to follow the videos exactly.

Thanks John!

Great video jack I really enjoyed it. If you get a chance to hold onto one of John's carvings take it. I was lucky enough to see a big display at a wood carving showing. I fell in love with his guys. I really like ur spiked snail and 4th of July guy. Trying to get mine right. I didn't realize there were videos on it.

[@whittling]

Thanks Gary! Yes, big John’s carvings are top notch!

[@texasveteran7231]

Thanks again Jack!

[@whittling]

My Pleasure! Hope all is well with you and your family my friend!

[@bssn9469]

I get confused turning the carving upside down, so I learned how to carve with my left hand and thus do not keep turning the carving upside down...thanks for your wonderful content!

[@whittling]

Very interesting! It sounds like you may be ambidextrous. That can be a useful skill, most people learn to carve upside down because carving with their non-dominant hand is even more difficult for them.

Great tutorial Jack. I appreciate the time you put into making these videos for us yearning to learn! By the way the #5 gouge what size is it? Thank You !!

[@whittling]

Thanks Ray! I’m happy to hear that you’re enjoying the channel! The gouge is 6mm wide.

[@slipperypete1248]

Great video! If you were going to use sandpaper on the eyes what grit?

[@whittling]

Hi Pete! With the softness of Basswood I would start with 600 grit for shaping and then move up to 800 or higher for finishing.
