I am being presumptious but i think its a great idea that your including details written on the screen as your going along with your project .For those of us that are hard of hearing at times .Thankyou .
Looks amazing Jim. Totally agree about people not knowing how much work goes into small items. I think it's much harder and takes longer to make miniature items. Well done!
Thank you very much Paul. Yes and making a 15 minute video on something that took quite a few hours really does nothing to dispel that notion. Cheers Jim
Other than the Gothic boxwood prayer bead skull this is the best wooden skull I’ve seen, I love that polish you put on it. And those renaissance miniatures were made by aliens if you ask me, so we humble earthlings shouldn’t necessarily use them to measure our success. With hard woods there is a trade off, roughing out is difficult but then you are able to add more detail and use the luster to your advantage to draw the eye from the rougher low spots, and your tools don’t have to be as finicky with keenness and bevel angles to not tear the grain or leave it fuzzy.
Loved your video and the finished skull was fantastic I a few netsuke skulls and yours would look great with my others looking forward to watch your next video
Thank you very much Graham. The foot pedal is very useful, the pedals are very cheap on eBay, just make sure you wire up the poles correctly. The pedal lead will work on other machines that do not have an NVR switch. Cheers Jim
I absolutely love it - beautiful wood grain and fantastic detail and workmanship. I collect skulls and would love to have a piece like yours in my collection
@@JimsonMakes I saw the huge amount of time you put into this little hard wood miniature.. and you have patience and skills to do such a good little gem.. 😊
Thank you very much. Difficult to say why skulls are fascinating, they are amazing structures, it must be something deep within us that draws us to them and they certainly have great significance in many cultures across the world. Cheers Jim
Simply amazing... And your knowledge of anatomy is beyond impressive! It's the detail that sets this piece apart. I know it wasn't easy to film but I'm ever so grateful you did!
I feel bad for laughing but finally someone who understands how irritating it is to work on that sort of hard and dense wood! I know very little about woodcarving in general but i've always wanted to try whittling and been dipping my toes into it slowly but surely. Amazing skull! Worth the annoyance, i'm sure :D
Very cool little piece. I am not much into hand carving so much, but that is a cool little skull. I am just trying to get my first lidded box completed. Its harder than I thought to get the lid to line up right.
@@JimsonMakes I would love to see a pine cone in a resin skull . But I still can't wait to get my own pine cones in resin been doing a lot of work with them trying to get the right colors trying a bunch of new things
Thanks for watching, please check out my latest video for a much more detailed skull carving.
Can’t find latest skull
It is the next video on from this one and is called carving a Boxwood and Blackwood skull. It is a carving of a Cape Buffalo Skull
Would love to buy that as shifter knob....
Would you take a commission for a similar piece??
This is perfect!
I am being presumptious but i think its a great idea that your including details written on the screen as your going along with your project .For those of us that are hard of hearing at times .Thankyou .

nice grain in the wood and very interesting carving. I often wonder what the fascination is with skulls that so many have.

Wonderful job Jim. I love it and Netsuke carving in general. Detail in such small pieces, I think, shows a lot more skill than a lager piece.
Thank you very much Judith, yes I am a big fan of Netsuke too. I like small tactile pieces you can pick up and examine.
Cheers

Great art! The wood carving masterpiece can be dyed by hand-touching everyday! Naturally dying by owners!
Thank you very much . Yes natural patina from usage is always best.
@@JimsonMakes Exactly👍😄
Would love to see this on top of a black walnut cane. Amazing work, well done.
Thank you very much
Very nice indeed 👌
Thank you very much
Have you ever carved seasoned blackthorn ? ..
never seen a man complain about his wood being so hard. - great video in time for Halloween.
Quite right I shouldn’t grumble and thanks for watching, glad you like it.

I feel bad for laughing but finally someone who understands how irritating it is to work on that sort of hard and dense wood! I know very little about woodcarving in general but i've always wanted to try whittling and been dipping my toes into it slowly but surely. Amazing skull! Worth the annoyance, i'm sure :D
Did I mention it was really hard 😂
Well done Jim looked as hard as nails but very nice finish 👏👏👏
Thank you very much Barry, yes very hard indeed.
Cheers
Jim
Very cool little piece. I am not much into hand carving so much, but that is a cool little skull. I am just trying to get my first lidded box completed. Its harder than I thought to get the lid to line up right.
Thank you very much Stephen. Fitting lids to boxes is a tricky thing to do, very easy to overcut.
Cheers

“Like a fresh conker!” Awesome 👌🏻
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
LOVE it Jim!! That would look so good on a cane with some brass fittings. Nice work... Wow!
Thank you very much Sludgepump, yes I did think about that, probably would need to be a bit bigger though.
Cheers
Jim
Great work Jim, so good to see your other skills beyond turning and milliput. Some milliput eyes would be spooky.
Thank you very much Gary. I did think about making a couple of eyeballs for some of the end photos.
