Another new knife!? Slow down Kevin, you're blowing our minds. Great job. Love your videos.

[@KevinCoates98]

A carving anyone would be proud to own. Thanks for the video.

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you

[@kevinhampton7215]

Thanks Mr. Kevin, now I need that knife. You are amazing , the close up camera work makes it easy to follow every cut.

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you

[@fernnewell6032]

Really enjoy watching you carve. I am learning a great deal

[@greghays6794]

Superb! Great video!

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you

[@miltonwinslow2976]

I like that your a left handed carver. I'm left handed also. Most carving videos are by right handed carvers. This makes it more difficult trying to follow them carving as a left handier. Great carvings and thanks for the videos.

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you

[@WhittlingWoods]

Masterfully done!!!

Thank you

[@garryvanzant745]

As always i am amazed by your talent. Another new knife, but your Dexter fish knife is the benchmark for carvers. I thouroughly enjoy your work.

[@KevinCoates98]

I use my fish knife everyday. It’s the best for a roughout knife. Thanks

[@PortlandSawMill]

You are a huge inspiration 👍🏽

[@KevinCoates98]

Love it. Thank you

Thanks

[@fngrusty42]

Just amazing. 99.9 percent with a knife.

[@joeelsaesser3762]

Kevin, you mentioned you were thinking about carving slower for beginners. That's not necessary. Anyone watching can slow the video down in the settings (the gear wheel next to the CC box) and select a playback speed. the viewer has the option to speed the video up or slow it down.

[@KevinCoates98]

Thanks for that bit of information. I'm not up on technology lol

[@yobabybubba]

Wow! AWESOME!

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you

[@hernanielegaste2777]

Thanks kevin

[@bishsec]

Kevin, how do you decide to carve a face on the flat of a wood as opposed to the corner, or vice-versa? Great video and carving, as usual. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques.

[@KevinCoates98]

Thanks. I’ve done it so many times now I don’t even think about it. The first few years I would draw a rough sketch on the wood and did it that way. After doing it for so long it just comes second nature to you

[@bishsec]

@@KevinCoates98 Thanks so much.

[@covidcarver1363]

I have a question Kevin, what size is the peice of wood in this video please? Also your 3/4 scrap pine wood spirit video has really helped me lately it's got me truly addicted. Thanks man 😁

[@rayscrafield2106]

Your carving skills are amazing. I am in awe. You say that is out of scrap pine, where do you find pine that nice and clear? Everything I find at the big box store is junk. Can you share your wood source?

[@KevinCoates98]

Thanks. Kent and Home Depot.

[@augusthermann5111]

Good to see you again! I love your characters. What happend to the old fish knife? Is it still wood from the old pew?

[@KevinCoates98]

Thanks. I’m still using the fish knife most everyday. It’s white pine but not from the pew

[@muqllidagah9336]

👍👍👍

[@5yellowfrog5]

Really appreciate your work for years. I do like turning on when I’m not in the mood for chitchat. Wishing I could carve eyes. Question …are you resharpening or switching blades throughout?

[@KevinCoates98]

Thank you. I hone my knife as I go. Just off camera

[@javierviera2748]

sos un genioooo

[@KevinCoates98]

Thanks

[@jimtalbot5113]

Mr.coates do you find your white pine softer than basswood ? I'm new at carving and watch you and Doug very closely. Awesome work.

[@KevinCoates98]

For what basswood I’ve carved the pine is much softer

[@robertoalves8857]

what kind of wood do you use in your sculptures?

[@KevinCoates98]

White pine

[@carlosmariohernandezmunoz8906]

Favor me indica dos o tres tipos de madera para hacer esta talla, gracias

[@KevinCoates98]

White pine, basswood
