    *Absolutely beautiful work. WOW! Love it. I noticed 3 things: 1- That you're an excellent artist. 2- that you have no eraser. 3- You have a boo-boo on your thumb.*

    Same old knife, same old pattern, same hands! Different piece of art every time!! That fish knife in anyone else's hands would just be a fish knife. Thanks Kevin for your time involved in making this and all the others.

    Hi Kevin, just finished watching your video. Great job. I am always amazed how you can take a block of wood & create a person that instills a story & image of a person selling door to door. Really enjoy all your videos & I hope to give this one a try as I continue to learn about carving.

    Beautiful work sir. I did notice that you carved a tie and shirt collar but they were not there at the end.....did you not like them? Either way it was a pleasure watching you a chunk of wood and transform it to something so nice. Thanks for sharing.

    i am just curious as to where you purchase your wood from. It looks like white pine. I live in Vienna, Austria (formerly an American), and have bought some kiln-dried wood from stores similar to Home Depot in the State (some kind of pine/fir) that is quite dry, brittle, and a challenge to carve. But your wood seems relatively easy to work with. Just wondering where you get it from. 🙂

    • @KevinCoates98
      @KevinCoates98  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I get it from a Home Hardware store. They get it from here on the east coast of Canada. Nova Scotia or New Brunswick. Not quite sure which province. For the most part it’s pretty decent.

      I carve the bag separate and attach it with a little strip of leather

    WHY is the face allways last to be done and i think the easyest to stuff up, is that a piece of pine wood ?

    • @KevinCoates98
      @KevinCoates98  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Good question. There's no particular reason why I do it last. It's just how I did it from the start. Yes it's pine I use
