I like that you show how much time it really takes to make something. I have always wanted to be able to carve ever since i saw a cane my dad bought for his grandpop in Poland after ww2 top of the cane had bust of an old man handle sort of hatchet shaped with vine carved up the sides histrorical restoration is my job doors & windows.
Great video for hand carving! I have been doing relief carvings...(around 25 of them) for 2+ years and look forward to making carvings "in the round". I have a great selection of Pfeil and Flexcut knives and chisels to work with, riffler files and also a Mastercarver mini power carver. Thanks again!
I like your videos,. I have done the mouse, wood spirit and angel. Also a comfort bird, but this bird is more detailed. Glad I watched the video so I know to put the side view on an angle
I do love birds I just bought your knife set with 10 knifes 8n the leather carry roll, VERY nice super sharp and the hand stopping makes them even more skookem cuts oak like butter, but I need some basswood to practice on

Hello. Are you the same folks who make the carving knives in Ukraine? If you are, I want to tell you they are as sharp as anything I've ever used, even at 7 times the price. I use the roughing blade for nearly everything. Easy to keep sharp too. The bandages in the box say it all. Very good blades.
Hello, Yes, our company is located in Ukraine, Kyiv. Thank you for the kind words. We work for our customers and your positive feedback is our greatest reward!
I just purchased your bird kit. It comes with a knife that doesn’t seem to be sharp enough (plus my unskilled hand) for the wood blocks provided. I am using xactos n your gouging knives like in this video that seem to work better than the knife alone does. However, the knife works better with my other basswoods. Thanks for the video. It shows the details that the bird kit video doesn’t. I would appreciate if the steps were vocally articulated together with the video n not to lose hope (and fingers). Thanks again.
Thank you for your feedback, Raj. Did you receive the eBook on How to make your knife razor-sharp and did you try to strop the knife using the leather strop? If you didn't get the eBook, just email us at olha@beavercraft.com.ua and we'll send it to you. In addition, we'll take into account your feedback
BeaverCraft Thank you for your kind response. To respond : I am sorry I haven’t received the eBook. I learned how to sharpen the knife from other channels n how to hold the knife I wish the wooden block weren’t that thick especially for the novice folks like myself. Thanks for the email address.

Do you think that it would be possible to make something similar with nothing more than a simple whittling knife? I don't have many materials, but this looks like a lovely pattern and I'd love to give it a try!
Can I paste the templates on a larger piece of wood, let’s say 3.5x3.5x15cm? Will that affect the ratio of the design or you just have to remove more excessive material?
Never carved before i want to do a magpie for a friend thats her football team the magpies l. ooks like a fun hobby im then going to attempt a snake up a walking stick that i can use .thanks for the video
Actually, there are so many books about wood carving, so you need to find the book that is right for you. We would recommend you to start with all-in-one Comfort Bird carving kit: bit.ly/2OuHiBd You will get all the tools needed as well as step-by-step guide.
Hi, My wife purchased one of your carving kits. It seems very hard going using the knife and sharpening strop provided. The wood only comes off in tiny flakes the size of nail clippings. The blade seems very sharp, but the wood provided is extremely tough. Your booklet has several references to external links, but they are all QR codes. nothing written. We have no means of scanning QR codes, so we can't follow any of the links in the book.
For wood carving - it's important to sharpen the knife every 5 minutes of work. Regarding QR codes - you can download any app that allows you to scan it. It's not difficult. But if you can't do it, write to us, and we'll help you!
It's terrible! You should be more careful and wear cutting gloves. Unfortunately, we don't sell cutting gloves. Nevertheless, you can find them on Amazon.
Hi there, Thank you for your comment. In the video you can see the full-process video of carving a bird. If you are a beginner, it will take a little more time, approximately 2-3 hours. But if you have any carving skills it will take only an hour and a half maximum. The time depends on your carving skills.

Wow..I've never done this before and if this tutorial is for beginners than I need the kindergarten tutorial.
Just try to carve it using the template
@@BeaverCraftTools Fair enough. I should get my Comfort Bird kit tomorrow from Amazon and will just jump in and see where it goes.
@@BeaverCraftTools Is there a video specific for the Comfort Bird?
Never mind about the video...just found it.
Yes I love birds
Absolutely wonderful work
Thanks, Reuben
I like blue jays and woodpeckers

Hi im in Australia iv never heared of Basswood can you name some other timbers i might use ,
Basswood is a good wood to carve as it's softwood. Nevertheless, you can use Pine, Cedar, Redwood, Douglas fir
Great work
Nicely done!
Do you think that it would be possible to make something similar with nothing more than a simple whittling knife? I don't have many materials, but this looks like a lovely pattern and I'd love to give it a try!
You can try. I know many woodcarvers who made great woodcarving projects with just one knife
Can I paste the templates on a larger piece of wood, let’s say 3.5x3.5x15cm? Will that affect the ratio of the design or you just have to remove more excessive material?
Of course you can stick it on a larger piece of wood - but you'll be cutting off a lot of wood.
I would like to see a cardinal, Bluejays, red squirrel please , thank you !!
thanks, Pete. We'll take it into account 😉
Do you ever weight the bottoms of your figures so they are more stable? If so, what do you use? I’m considering lead anchors.
Thanks for your comment, Bob. No, we don't weigh down the bottoms of our figures
A fox would be great 🙏🏻
We'll take it into account
YES I LIKE BIRDS
Where do I go to get patters like the bird one on this tutorial?

Sorry about that.
What kind of wood do you use? And where can I buy those tools?
Thanks for your question. We use basswood. As for the tools, we recommend you to try wood carving kit here: bit.ly/34uLgzg
My carvings are usually covered in blood by the time im done with them, so i may invest in some finger protectors like what you have lmao
It's terrible! You should be more careful and wear cutting gloves. Unfortunately, we don't sell cutting gloves. Nevertheless, you can find them on Amazon.
Oof
Pick another hobby 😕
Just use gloves (not plastic ones)
Soo cute
birds are my absolute favorite animal
has anyone heard of the birds of paradise project? if you haven't you should watch the documentary
It's very interesting, Jason. We love birds too. They are amazing!

Do you not think using a bandsaw/scrollsaw would be much faster and easier for you.
No, I don't think so. We use hand tools and it's a small woodcarving project
@@BeaverCraftTools it definitely would be faster like, no doubt at all. It's just you prefer your way. Which is fair enough.
