So nice to hear the geese - just like home 😃 Good tutorial as always ... I have carved some "figurines" for my grand daughter - thanks to you she loves them!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

So glad to hear!

[@brianschleinkofer6251]

You're a great teacher, I can see why you started the school. You're delivery of information is excellent. I really appreciate you're sense of humor as well.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Very kind Brian ! I appreciate you! Very encouraging

[@medicus5565]

Very interesting instructional video. I hadn't realized that this was something I needed to learn until I watched this - now, I need to practice it. Thank you!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Glad to hear!

[@bobrenda1618]

For me the crucial thing to see is your hand positions used to make each cut. The close up shots show them very well and you are aware when they might not. A single camera set up without someone manning the camera can’’t show everything but 92% aint bad. Thanks AL.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks Bob!

[@kitsuiam852]

Also ....I would like to see the beard carving and hair carving of the previous carving that you've done on the wood spirit ....cheers 😊

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Beards are a good idea!

[@susanwoodcarver]

Absolutely delightful, and informative. I love the way you teach, your friends, Mr. and Mrs. goose, and the sweet banjo music at the end. What a wonderful way to start my day… The sound of a sharp blade dancing through basswood. Makes my heart happy. Thank you Alec. Sure do appreciate you. As Shrek would say… Really, really! ❤

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Your comment warmed my heart ! Thank you Susan!

[@susanwoodcarver]

@@AlecLaCasseArt 🥰 woodcarvers understand each other. You are truly a blessing. Really, really!

[@indianatone218]

Thanks for the insight Alec ,Greetings from Wales UK .

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

My pleasure!

[@kitsuiam852]

Hello alex .. you're a great teacher ...I've learnt so much from you...jus to mention you should've incorporated this part of the hair carving in the previous video which you've done on the eyes ,nose and mouth carving with the same piece of wood ...that would've been so much better which makes it a series of carvings on jus to get the gist of it ....jus a suggestion I guess ...thanks 😊😊😊👍🏻✌️

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I didn’t have enough room for hair on the previous carving!

[@shoey64]

Alec you live in Michigan? I do also southwestern lower Michigan about 8 miles north of the university of Norte Dame. Great video my man.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you! Oh wonderful! Not too far!

[@user-fx3wr5oy8i]

👍💯

[@edkopka9808]

now show how we grow it lol

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I wish

[@davidlyon8707]

Are you more of a wittier than a carver?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I'm more of a hand model than anything else.

[@davidlyon8707]

For us carver that do larger scale carving with gouges, your scale with a knife is not helpful. However I do appreciate not using the bark. My present project I am carving is in white oak.

Thier all wrong. The old testament spoke of gods that were flesh and blood. They we not God's. Plural, with over 20 different God's. Check out Mauro Biglino. Vatican translater . He reads these stories for what it reads.
