Great video and channel Fred. Beautiful work. I subscribe and will come around more often. I found you, because this guy “dark matter“ (good older fellow) did put you in shout out video and you stood out of the crowd :) He also had a lot of trouble to pronounce our slavic names lol (he did put me in that video too) Have a nice day
What was left out of this video is the carving's prep BEFORE the stain was applied. If you attempt this technique on bare wood the stain will immediately soak into the wood and will not allow to be wiped off or even sanded out easily. It should have been noted in the captions that the carving requires prep that was shown in a separate video. If you attempt this on bare wood you are going to have a mess on your hands.
Hi Otto, thank you for pointing this out. It is specified right at the beginning of this video that viewers HAVE TO first watch Fred's other video about preparation before staining. There is a link to that video but the link might not be working on mobile phones because TH-cam disabled some functions in videos in May -I have just found out about it thanks to your comment. There are other links throughout but might not work as well. I added couple more links at the beginning of the video and hope they work. If they don't, please let me know and I will try to figure it out. Thanks, Hana Zavadil
waoooo..muy bella la obra de arte, está espectacular y maravillosamente preciosa tu obra, gracias maestro por compartirlo, me encantó mucho, eres un verdadero artista. Te deseo éxito. gracias.
Thank you for this perfect video. I tried your ideas (a little modified) on my carving and I 'v got good results. Thank you. Děkuji za perfektní video. Zkusil jsem tvé nápady (trošku modifikované) na mé řezbě a docílil jsem dobrých výsledků. Děkuji.
Fred only seals before staining. All products used are pictured in actual videos. Please watch this video th-cam.com/video/_UXczoOA5Fs/w-d-xo.html. Hana Zavadil
Thank you for sharing. Could you tell do you put clear coat varnish at the end and how long you must wait for oil paints to dry before you put it? Beautiful work! Regards fm Montenegro
Fred say thank you. He does not put any varnish on the carving at the end because he does not like the glossy look. He says that if you would like to put some on, it is up to you. Oil paints take long time to dry, individual colors need different times - for example, red takes about 2 weeks. Hana Zavadil
You are welcome. Fred says that he does not use anything else on the carvings - the surface is smooth and not tacky after he applies the stain - and wipes most of it off. Dust has nothing to attach to after the stain is dry.
I am sorry but I have no answer for you. I only use this on basswood. Also, if you plan on using this method, do not forget to seal the wood before you stain it!!!!
I am not a professional - this video took me about 35 hours to record and edit. It provides complete information about how Fred finishes his carvings and what he uses. If you find the already included captions insufficient and miss voice comments, please watch and use other videos on the Internet - I am sure there are a lot of them with everything you expect and like. Besides, I am not sure how it would help you if Fred spoke in Czech language. Hana Zavadil
You are just too good for words. I am a wood carver too but you are the best I have seen

Wow!

I love this! Would this technique work for poplar wood?
absolutely amazing
I would love to see the process how this is carved.
How do you make such a beautiful. I do not have words to compliment.
Perfeito . Lindo Trabalho .Paraběns.
Amazing!👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
GRACIAS ~~~~
This is super cool! I subscribe.
Do you use a toluene type thinner or a mineral spirits thinner? I am guessing because it is oil, it is mineral spirits but I thought I should ask.
magico.......perfect..........
Amazing piece! Do you seal before, after or both? Also, what do you use? Lacquer, urethane, etc.?
Fred only seals before staining. All products used are pictured in actual videos. Please watch this video th-cam.com/video/_UXczoOA5Fs/w-d-xo.html. Hana Zavadil
Wonderful work. What more can be said?
ANATOMY IS PERFECT, A WONDERFUL LIKE. FROM BRAZIL MY FRIEND.
Thank you!
Can I ask how long you have been doing wood carving for? Love your skills
Fred started carving as a hobby in 1991-1992. Hana Zavadil

Fred Zavadil Woodcarving and Sculpting Thank you both. But, how he protects his carving from dust attaching to the oil paint?
You are welcome. Fred says that he does not use anything else on the carvings - the surface is smooth and not tacky after he applies the stain - and wipes most of it off. Dust has nothing to attach to after the stain is dry.
Thank you!
Шикарная работа!
Beautiful tutorial,but I wish there was a volume.
Wow wow wow. I could really use some input from you. Is there a way to contact you? Fantastic work.
Very nice! How long between the application of stain and wiping with towels?
Thanks Marc. Fred wipes the stain right after he applies it. Hana Zavadil
super rzeźby................
Wow
Hey i want to make a sculpture for my family, what wood would u recoomend for a noobie?
Fred mostly uses basswood for his carvings. Hana
ahoj jsou to heské fotki
Does to this method work on pine??
I am sorry but I have no answer for you. I only use this on basswood. Also, if you plan on using this method, do not forget to seal the wood before you stain it!!!!
So no final sealer is applied?
No, there is no final sealer.
No, this is the final finishing.
It is better to use turpentine otherthan thinner isn't .
When you do a video Speak Please. Or have captions.
