Great carving Sir and another great video. You are quickly becoming a go to reference for this new carver. Thank you for sharing what you do with all of us!
Been looking around youtube for video by a carver that speaks to wood/log selection. Curious if there are species that are more desirable for easy of carving as well as longevity of the piece? Should the log be seasoned for a certain period of time before carving, also if carving green wood should it dry for a particular period of time before finishing and sending off to its final home? I have also heard you talk (atleast in one video briefly) about taking the bark off logs that are staged for later carving, is this to prevent insect damage? I know a lot of questions, but figure you would be a good resource to ask the question. Heck, maybe it would be notable for a future video? Thank either way for your time and have a fantastic day! @@BigRagufromAT
Hi from Mississippi, brother chainsaw carver. Very nice bear. I'm Fabian Ihrke. ( Bearfoot Chainsaw Sculptures). Happy carving!! And keep the saw running and body parts attached. 😊
Thanks for watching. I like a semi gloss finish it holds up and looks rich under the other paints I use to dry brush. If I am doing g out door paint I try to get paint from a paint store instead of a box store. They are mu h higher quality even though they have the same brand name.
Is that just a regular brown you are using on the bear or a bronze? It really looks good and thank you so very much for the videos! They are much enjoyed!

Good looking carving. I love your style. All the best from Europe✌️✌️
Thanks, and thank you for watching!
I would love to see more details of your dry brush methods
There are many videos where I do it. Or you can come take a class. Thanks for watching!
It's hard not to be impressed with the work your wife does! ...........You get some credit too!
Love it!😊👍 What latex paint do you use as your base coat? Just a flat black housepaint? I like the way the drybrushing really makes it come to life.

It's warm Carmel.
You’re talented
Thanks for watching!
What is the latex that you use and why . Is the latex just house wall paint or trim paint ? Is the dry brush done using spray paint ?
I'm so happy to have you aboard! Thank you for watching!
It's exterior latex.
Amazing
Thanks for watching!
