- In this video I demonstrate useful carving techniques through one of the projects I use in my Beginner class, the Scallop Shell. For more information on my work or to book classes please visit www.adamswoodcarving.co.uk
"Thank you" for letting us watch. Very relaxing and enjoyable.
Thank you so much! Very clear and gorgeous outcome. Perfect for a beginner like me!
I have a finial shell to carve and went to you to have a look. Just an excellent primer for beginners and a reminder to anyone else how clean a carving can be yet look elegant. Thanks for your instruction. Bill in Los Angeles.
And there you are! Very nicely done.
Nice freaking work dude! You made that look easy.
Great little project I've never tried carving something like a shell and yours turned out really good. Im loving your channel so I've subscribed and hopefully pick up some tips from you along the way.Ive been carving woodspirits over on my channel but looking for something else to try.
Cheers and thanks for the inspiration

Fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Gerald...you inspire me to try it myself, though I'm a rookie (in Canada).
I can tell just by the sound, that these were properly sharpened. Thanks!
amazing thanks
Beautiful and thx... God Bless
Nice simple design done by a pro.
jon ellisdon Thanks Jon.
Good work
I like it :)
Amazing 👌👏👏👏👍
Fantastic work! Simple and easy to follow. If possible, could you provide a link to the template you used for this carving. Much thanks.
3:30 I nearly fell over, "so next stage" and for a second it looked complete... lol
This is oddly satisfying...
Thank you for this video, what size is that and which way is the grain running, or does that make no difference?
Love to see more please?!
Hi Ruaidhri, working on one on gadrooning, busy so could be a while!
Gerald
Very very good sir 👍, thank's
Very nice
i am starting to do carving, and i want to know what should i do first?
I'm looking to buy an unstained wood shell about 18 inched in diameter any ideas where?
apologies for spelling mistake what number V tool did you use? great video love watching you carve
I loved your video! I am trying to learn how carve; I am vey interested in relief carving. I have bought several chisels, a V tool, a vainer, a #1,#5,#3,#9 and would like your opinion on choosing chisel sizes and shapes and what is the thickness of the wood you used in carving the shell. What thickness is generally used for relief carving and can wood that is glued too make a larger or thicker piece be carved?
588158 Hi, the wood is about 20mm thick. email me on gerald@adamswoodcarving and I will try to answer all you questions. Thanks for your enthusiasm!

بسیار عالی
Great video you V tool what size is it? 6 or 5mm thank you
Great video, very helpful! What kind of wood are you using?
I think it's European Lime.
What wood is that?
i'm new to the carving game but i'm gonna attempt this. The only problem i see myself having is cutting against the grain. I bought some lime wood recently but on chipping at it, parts of it exploded into splinters and i spent the next 30 minutes shaving it down so it looked nice again. hmm
Superb, now try to that with curly maple
👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️❤️
The noise is vary vary vary vary vary loud 😣
Hi Emilia, sorry for late reply, just worked out how to do the technology!
The shell is glued onto a backing board with newspaper and PVA glue.
Sticks solid, then comes off easily with a sharp knock at the join.
Do try to take it up again.

Hi Dan man, The secret is sharp tools and don't take too much off in one go.
Practice the slicing cuts I talk about in the video. Keep at it and enjoy!
