Great little carve Alec . Some basswood is really hard , had some myself . If you’ve never carved before it could put you off carving forever . I’ve noticed if the wood is light in colour it tends to be easier to work but the darker wood has better grain …..looks great when you put a treatment on . Always learning, thanks for the upload 👍
I'm really glad you've been doing these whittles. I do enjoy your bark carving, but the whittles are more up my alley. I appreciate all your videos and the time you put in to educate the masses.
dude you rock, I actually just started carving a couple weeks ago and you've got this real cool way of teaching. I am horrible at woodcarving, im an oil painter and i thought it would be easy and its not, I tried something really ambitious and was quickly humbled so these beginner vids are right for me and much appreciated.
This has been extremely helpful in so many ways! Thank you for sharing your expertise. It’s a great relief to hear that the basswood you’re using is hard because when I started whittling a few years ago I thought I was not understanding how to sharpen or hone my knives or I was just really weak. 😂😅. My sister sent me some basswood she harvested for me and the difference is remarkable.
Great video that will get me back in the saddle as i had 2 surgery's on my left leg one a full knee replacement and then a torn tendon so i have had no focus and pain was really bad can't wait to chip away at some wood ❤️💥
I am very impressed with your extraordinary skills.. the knife you use is very sharp. Where can I buy this type of tool or do you also sell it? If it's true, how much does it cost and can you send it to me? I'm in Indonesia.
As more of a whittler I’m loving the last 10 or so videos you have posted. With Linker taking a break and now focusing on not just solely whittling, I think there’s been a lack of quality beginner tutorials on TH-cam. I hope you can keep them coming. My one critique is sometimes what you’re doing goes out of camera. It’s nice having a nice up close view but it’s probably difficult to keep it centered all the time. Maybe backing out a tad would help keeping it in frame all the time.
I love the birds in the background. It’s really relaxing while watching you carve. It makes it easier to listen and learn. Thanks😎
Glad to hear!

Hallo Alec, thanks for the beginner videos
My pleasure
Hey alec, think you'd be able to do a tutorial video on how to add like a cigar to the character your making?
Cool idea
Great carve! Thanks!
Thanks! My pleasure!
as a new carver I find Alec's beginner videos the easiest to follow. wonder what kind of knife that is? 👍
It looks like it's a Badger State Blades knife. I've never used them myself but looking forward to getting a couple soon
So glad to hear!! It's a badger state blade!
Good job 👍🇮🇩
and can all wood be carved or only special wood? Can you recommend a good type of wood for carving? Thank you for your attention.
Хорошее видео! 👍
Thank you!

Appreciate the input Ben! Glad you are enjoying !
You could do a Santa clause the same way
Out of video, not good for viewers, thanks for the effort.
@@gregorgman you’re welcome
Здравствуйте, мне тоже интересно, мне нужно в совершенстве изучить свое хобби.
Bad tutorial. Started with a square then jumped to a perfect triangle. You think we all have electric saws
Hey Ashton, Sorry you're having trouble! You can use a coping saw, hatchet or a similar hand saw to cut your block diagonally!
Hey i do injoy your podcast but I am Belgian so we use metric system can you use sometimes cm
Thank you
Greetings from Ghent Belgium
