    I just started carving wood myself, and I will say that when you get lost in the project, time stands still. I look at it like we are wood archaeologists. We slowly uncover the image to reveal the treasure hidden under all the wood chips. Nice work man.

    I have just finished carving my first serious project. My 20 year old cat was put down yesterday. Recently, we got rid of a stump in the yard. I carved her from some of the wood, but parts of the wood was soft. I need to sand a bit more, and paint her, but I'm generally pleased with how she has turned out to this point.

    Wow, Eric! I wasn't expecting something like this. That came out super nice. I really love the idea of the tree in relief in the cross. Your daughter will be so proud to have that some day. Thanks much for sharing, Bill

    Great video, loved it. Just wish you would have explained more and showed what you were doing since you called it a Wood carving for beginners. But none the less it looked awesome and turned out even better.

      Totally agree with the first part of your message, no techniques explained etc. not sure I agree with painting and covering up, of what is, a beautiful material, wood. But this is subjective.
      I was hoping for a, more of a tutorial video, or at least follow what was happening 👍🏻🙂🌳
      Best wishes :-)

    Well, not exactly a for beginner video, we seem to have a difference in what a beginner means. What I got out of this was:
    1. Use Basswood
    2. Cross with Tree of Life motif
    3. Bark and small areas, difficult
    4. Fun
    The work itself looks great. I am wondering how long the project took you from start to finish. (Just the carving part from first blade cut to last.)
    Good video overall, just not a beginner video.

      Thanks for the comment. I had about 20-30hrs in that carving. I'm not super fast by any means! I see where you are coming from but consider myself a beginner and that was my first relief carving. Thanks again!

    The point was well made that enjoying the process is key. When I began carving I enjoyed making wood chips. It didn't matter how good the finished product was. As time went by the finished product got better. I like that but it is still the process of making wood chips that I like most. Nice cross and video. Thumbs up!

      Only thing I am carving out is time... I always believe when carving wood it "speaks" to you what it wants to be. Maybe it's a reflection of yours or the tree's soul... Deep...

    That was a great presentation. It will inspire a lot of people to try carving. I do some whittling, animals mostly. I have a relief carving project in mind, and feel more confident going in having seen your video.
    Also, I'm all about Woodcraft. Nice, helpful people and terrific products.
    Very well done.

      Thank you!! I love the people at Woodcraft. I've visited many stores over the years and always had a great experience. I've not tried carving animals yet but would like to learn some day. The face and eyes look so difficult to learn.

      @@CraftsmansLegacy yeah eyes can be challenging. My animals are all kinda cartoony, I've used painted map pins or just painted eyes.
      My point initially though was that your presentation was a perfect mix of how to and background and entertainment. I'm honored that you replied.

    Hi I just started carving I have a small set of chisels but I don’t know how to sharpen them
    When the kit arrived it came with a pice of sandpaper and stick of chalk,
    Not sure what I’m supposed to do. Any help would be great, love your work
