    • Been watching them all and excellent, enjoyed watching the videos..

    • what an informative video! I think I will start carving right away ;-) That was great Jim!

    • Hi Tawny.. glad you liked it.. I’m trying to get the last of the wood carving on today.

    • This is an excellent series. I just found you because I’m looking to start wood carving. I’m hoping to find out what chisels I need to start with. I have some smaller ones but I wanted to get larger ones too as my first project (may be my last! Hah!) is a newel post in the house my husband and I built ourselves. It is an 8″ sq. red oak post and I’m not going to do anything too dramatic. But I know I need good tools. I hope by watching all your videos I’ll get more instruction. Thanks, Ron!

    • u look like the guy from jaws

    • where would you get a piece of would like that?

    • Well… that is a good question, I get the wood along the banks of the rivers here in NW Montana. I don’t buy it, I go out and collect my own. Its alot of work to find useable wood.

    • Ron, I too have been a carver for many years and found some great tips here! Unfortunately I cannot stand to carve so I am adapting this Technique to sitting. Great tips! Keep up the great work! I like your style. Poppa T

    • Yes.. sitting works. If my feet are bothering me. I just lower the wood and pull up a chair..
      thanks for the comment.

    • Very good video. Good channel.

    • Thanks Artcarver! A good set up makes all the difference.

    • i love the sound the wood makes

    • are there any money in wood carving?

    • There is when people buy them from me.
      Thanks for viewing.

    • Your wrists must hurt. Very good video btw.

    • Which kind of wood is best to carve?

    • That depends on what you want to accomplish. For the Faces I carve I like the cottonwood bark the best.

    • Thank you, and yes carparal tunnel has set in.

    • Ah, I’m looking to carve a mask so cotton wood would be the way to go? Thanks for your help.

    • I don’t think you’d be able to find any cottonwood bark wide enough for masks.
      Unless you’re making them small. Cedar is generally what is used for the Coastal Indian masks.

    • @SculptorRon Ah ok. Thanks
