So cool! I found my first pine knot after watching your video, I can't wait to wood carve it! So excited to go to my chalet, soon, it's a forest of bicentennial and tricentennial pine trees!! I hope to have a good harvest!!! Thx again !!!
Shoot me an email with a picture of your carving when your done. I'd enjoy seeing it. You can find my email in the about me section on my channel. Happy knot hunting!
That was a nice hoard of Pine knots you had at the end there :) The characteristics are different with each one, and your creations with these are a real eye catcher, enjoyed brother :)
Loved your video and was greatly inspired. I've been collecting and carving driftwood for many years, now I have something else to do. Many pine trees in my area of Missouri so expecting I will find many pine knots for the taking. Awesome carvings. Now subscribed but couldn't find your notification bell. Keep on, keeping on!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Finding good sized pine knots depends on older trees falling over and beginning to rot. Alot of the trees in my area get harvested before that happens. If you can find a piece of ground with old growth and for whatever reason it hasn't been logged many times those areas are treasure troves. Thanks for subscribing and welcome! The notification bell seems to be present based on my investigation. I wonder if it's something specific to your device or account. I'd be curious to see some of your drift wood carvings. I have an email address available in my about me section on my page. Thanks again!
Nice video well done I carved one about a year ago love it. This video has me wanting to go search for more! Man they are a tough carve though! Tough dense ! Sappy How long do you let them dry ?
Most of the time, they've been drying for years. I actually dont do a ton of hand carvings. It's worth the extra efforts dealing with the challenges to carve them! Thanks for watching!
Well just thought I’d tell you. Your video inspired me enough. I went rummaging through my collection I had one pine knot , been just laying there for several years. I started and completed one in record time for me ! Turned out really good too . Thanks
Thanks for the video! I'm trying to understand the difference between a simple branch and one that will become a pine knot filled with resin...😬 Have any branches been cut?
I don't cut the pine knots. I usually step on the branch and if the log is rotten enough for the knot to break loose, good to go. The knot is the part of the branch that was rooted into or submerged into the log. They usually do have a high resin content. I'm not sure if there are any factors that would cause certain knots to have a higher resin content. Hope this helps !
Great video. I really love how the resin in the pine knots leaves the wood looking almost like a wax figure when they are carved. I've only been carving about a year, but I know I want to try this. The wood just seems very interesting to carve. Now that I know what to look for, I'll have to go out and search the mountains. 😊👍
@kjirstenboucher9682 glad you enjoyed the video. Its really satisfying to find such great carving wood out in nature. Sometimes feels like finding treasures. I wish you luck
Love the video . Your carvings are beautiful! Now I know how to find these wonderful pine knots. In the past I have found some root w o o d which was satisfying to carve, but it had too much rotted wood , and was tough to carve. Could you tell me what finish you use for the face of the carving ? I know it is some sort of oil but I would like to know the details. - BTW I subscribed immediately to your Channel, and look forward to more videos . Thank you and best wishes..
Thank you for subscribing, and thanks for the kind words.the product is made by minwax. It's called antique oil finish, and it comes in a red can. I found it at an out of the way hardware store. I've never seen it anywhere else, but I bet you could order it online. It's more of a rubbing urethane than an oil. I flood the surface of the carving and then wipe it off with a soft cloth. It takes many coats, but the resulting sheen is worth the effort. Hope this helps
Thanks! I use a minwax product called antique oil finish. It comes in a red can. I found by chance at an out of the way hardware store. It's the only place I've ever seen it, although I bet you could order it on-line. It's more of a rubbing urethane as opposed to an oil. I put it on and then wipe it off with a soft cloth. It takes many coats, but I feel the resulting sheen/finish is worth it. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching
I linked a few videos in the description that show a little more "how to" I do have plans for some deeper instructional videos for future release. You might be surprised how much artistic ability you have once you start pursuing it. Creative process like many endeavors is to a great degree a developed skill. Takes time and practice. Thank you for watching, and for the compliment
Usually if I live in the woods would even drive in the truck and me as a craftsman I know I would have something to cut that damn thing opposite of smacking it with a sledgehammer., or is it you have to bust it off for a look
By pulling it out the natural grains and patterns of the wood stay intact. The hair and beard of the carving are worked so they melt into the grain. Sometimes it's saw time, but sometimes it's hammer time
I pick these up all the time on my walks through the 100-acre wood out back of here. They're somewhat rotted. Are these worth anything to someone? I'll happily pass them along for one carving in return.
I've not heard of anyone selling pine knots personally. I am able to get them fairly easily. Woodcarvs who live in an area where pine knots are not available may be interested in purchasing one to have it shipped as something unique to try maybe? People who live in desert areas or city for example. I occasionally purchase cottonwood bark and have it shipped because I can't get it locally and it's fun to carve

There's some cool pieces in the hoard for sure. Thanks for checking in
Fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent. ❤️
Thank you very much! We enjoy making the videos.
Beautiful carvings. ♥️
Thanks so much
I just looked for fatwood - this is nice
Sounds like you found a duel purpose. You could carve the knots and burn the shavings! Thanks for watching!
I love that idea, great work 👍👍
Thanks royworks!

Loved the video, very inspiring. I am a new Carver, and a lady, just subbed to your channel. Just wondering if you live in British Columbia Canada?

I thought you were going to teach me to carve because I have no artistic ability nor do I know how to carve.
By the way, those look awesome.

Chainsaw or Sledge hammer ?
Usually chainsaw but once in a while the sledge hammer's in order!
