How to Carve a character style happy bear head I go over how to block out and detail a happy character bear with a chainsaw I hope this video can help you
Looking forward to the upcoming vids, Ryan. Sounds great! Do you sharpen a lot or start each carve with new chain? Your cuts look smooth and effortless. I sharpen daily but don't seem to get quite as much power into the wood. Ripping downgrain is slow....
Keep on talking that's a good thing while doing the videos. I would love to see you do a full length how to video. Carving a Bear. Explaining each and every cut no matter how long it took. You are such a good artist. I believe your students in tube land . Would love it 🐻
MOST People just have ONE chain saw on hand... 16 0r 18 inch.... Any chance of making a video using one chain saw so we can see the challenges we might come up against using a bigger saw? Thanks
Thanks again Ryan I've watched this thing so many times it wish you got paid for each time. LOL I'm doing a slightly different berries heads turned and tipped but once again your video save my ass and made it easy
Hello Ryan love what you do. Question though I see you use a lot of cedar is there any other wood you use or would recommend for a beginner and where do you get your wood? Gord
My name's Frank Downing and I really liked how you talk I do do the carvings I'm going to follow your teachings and send you some pictures of what I've created myself thank you for everything you're a master you got a god-given talent and you enjoy it
Great mate, very inspiring except we don’t have bears in NZ so I think I’ll go to your owl video since we have the native Rufus or more pork. Struggling with my ne2 stihl170 with carving bar, vibrating loose, bar and chain coming apart. Any suggestions? We can’t buy Echo saws here.
Your buddy Jordy Johnson said to stop over and check you out in a few of his videos. I'm very happy I did. I plan on starting to try chainsaw carving. I'm very familiar with safe use of a chainsaw. However I really didn't have any idea how to tackle a bear with this tool. I've carved a few with my knives, but I wasn't sure how that would translate into big logs and chainsaws. You have inspired me to give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration. I love watching your content. Have a great one, and keep em' coming!👍🏼
Hi Ryan..Thanks for the invaluable teaching. I just got my first saws last week and carved 7 bears ...sold one already! What gauge bar are you using on the Echo and do you grind back the heels on the cutter? Thanks....Rebecca..from NY
I am an old combat artist, retired Marine but you wowed me with your happy bear carve !!!! Simple and really great expression. Love the tools you use and your techniques describing the the cuts. GySgt C. Gurley USMC Rtd Keep carving !!!!!!!
Awesome as usual bud. Just doing a cub in a log from a carving bears book. Not happy with my mouth, going to try to tweek it your way a bit. Thanks again. Oh ya don't let your guard down. Stay awesome and have fun, later
@@RyanCookCarvin that's the answer I needed...I carve and build huge musky baits and do some taxidermy work so I have about a dozen air brushes. Createx paints work great..I thoroughly enjoy your videos and like your sense of humor...is your class full?
Man, I love your "how to" vids! You make it look so easy...here I am just making firewood, can't tell you how many logs I've ruined....but watching you always gives me a little bit more of a push....keep it up brother
Thanks man it's a beautiful bear head. I've stayed away from carving bears because my neighbor thinks everything we do is a competition. He carves bears. He's afraid Meinl show him up. I just want to do cool s*** thanks again
@@RyanCookCarvin I watched all of your programs on Viasat Explore... I'm very glad that I found you on TH-cam. Now I'm trying to do carving myself, your lessons will be very useful. You have a fan in Russia now. )
Talented guy and a nice guy. So obvious! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos. Cant wait till you put a video up about templates
that will be done in the classes in the fall
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for showing us how this is done.

That is an amazing! How much will it cost me and can I picking up? Delivery???

Thanks again Ryan I've watched this thing so many times it wish you got paid for each time. LOL I'm doing a slightly different berries heads turned and tipped but once again your video save my ass and made it easy
Where do you get your carving bars for your Echo chainsaws?
How do you make the curve without the chain biting as struggling to make a curve cut
Bạn ơi tôi không hiểu gì nhưng tôi biết bạn đang chia sẻ rất là tận tình cảm ơn bạn nhiều

should the log be dried or green? I am 59 years old and your video's have inspired me to get off the couch and get started . Thanks
Doesn’t really matter
@@RyanCookCarvin Thank you for the reply
So, we really have to figure out which way we visualize! Thanks, that helps me a lot!
Looks awesome. I just started carving myself. Where do you get the paint for the eyes?
Awsome!
You got that style brahhhh
So cool Bear
Thanks for the show/instruction. Late start here. You are an amazing carver.
My fiancee is a huge fan of your work and the way your able to ARTiculate info in a way that he can understand.
I don't know how I missed this video. That's soooooo very helpful! Thanks Ryan!!! 😊
Thanks for the motivation man keep up the great vids
You bet
Thanks Ryan I truly enjoy viewing your works. Your a huge help and inspiration .
Brill vid il b trying that method I'm only a learner but that looks good
Did it work?
@@RyanCookCarvin havnt had chance to try it yet but definitely giving it a go
Great job Ryan! Thanks for video i see how you round out the head that will help me so my bears aren't so square looking
Cool as video - real creative.
Thanks for sharing
Great mate, very inspiring except we don’t have bears in NZ so I think I’ll go to your owl video since we have the native Rufus or more pork. Struggling with my ne2 stihl170 with carving bar, vibrating loose, bar and chain coming apart. Any suggestions? We can’t buy Echo saws here.
there is alot of good saws out that way
What two saw would you recommend just starting
Love the bear and am working on one now !!! Question ??? What is your opinion on relief cuts down the back of your carvings?
It's good i think its good then patch it up after
So cut a relief in the back when I first start? Then before finishing fill it ? Sorry ha. Still learning!!
Yup if that’s the road u want to go for sure ive seen that done and work well
I’d rather not cut into it at all honestly but if it actually keeps it from cracking i guess it would be worth it
Great video Ryan. You make it look so easy.
