You're right, the sound of the wood knife on the wood itself... J'adoreeee ! Thx for the tuto !

Thank you really like this tree I appreciate how you just add so much more dimension to the tree as you went farther. Many thanks.

Thank you Fern! Appreciate the nice comment!

I started with a R Murphy knife for twenty dollars and carved a house and tree into a egg. Realistically I learned if you take the v gouge or very small gouge it will make the tree look so real and put shadow on the tree

I love your video. You are so right, simple fun characters are very satisfying. Carving, for those who love it, feeds the soul

@billyaxley3014 Год назад

Nice tutorial, Alec, and the smaller/simpler carvings are very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to do them. Much appreciated!

@AlecLaCasseArt Год назад

No problem! Thanks for the comment!

Super cool. Im inspired to try. Nothing is better than a handmade gift.

@michaelinnis6375 Год назад

Thanks Alec, I carved one two and half inches and It came out perfect so I posted on FB Carving for Beginners. I found I had to resharpen several times. I started carving during Covid lockdowns and I’m addicted now. I’m also a big fan of Doug, Gene and Kevin.

Kudos to your brother for encouraging you to create these challenge videos, I think they are fantastic, especially for the new carver such as myself, I love them. Thank you for creating them and thank you for sharing. There is a lot of take away for me when you create this type of video. Thank you Alex and thank you to your brother.

@ericklassen742 Год назад

I'm surprised that you don't use basswood. It would make your carvings more enjoyable and less torturous from a carver's perspective.

@AlecLaCasseArt Год назад

I did use basswood in this video and majority of my videos!

@doczoff5655 Год назад

Nice carving, I'll aim to have a go at one in time for Christmas. I'm pretty limited on wood supplies right now, but I think I have either poplar or sycamore branches that might be suitable, or there's always the kiln dried birch firewood pile which is a much harder wood requiring pretty frequent stropping. I also have kiln dried English oak firewood which I have managed to knife carve before now, but that's really hard stuff so requires constant stropping and resharpening, and very keen vigilance of knife safety due to the extra force required. It's not a good choice for the novice knife carver, which is me, so I'll probably steer clear of it!

@AlecLaCasseArt Год назад

Well put Doc! Sounds like you know your woods! Poplar is good! Birch is hard but nice to carve!

@doczoff5655 Год назад

@@AlecLaCasseArtSo I've decided to go with a quartered log of birch firewood to make a six inch high shelf ornament Christmas gift for my wife, and as expected it's much tougher to carve than basswood. I probably spent about 2 hours today and got to the simple stacked cones stage. Been a few months since my last carving session so I was a bit rusty on my hand stropping technique, however the hard seasoned birch forced me to re-learn pretty quick. Even so I worked up a decent set of blisters on my knife hand but hey, no pain no gain. Later in the evening I thought that a 1 inch high version would go nicely with our advent village (tiny snow scene with 25 card houses that get added day by day) so I grabbed a length of pine kindling. The pine was of course far softer to carve so it was a quick easy job, and looked great painted dark green under a white snowy coating. It was surprising how much detail I could cut into that tiny little tree, and dry brushing with the white really made that detail pop. Thanks for the inspiration, I really enjoyed making the mini tree, and will continue with the birch carving as time and sore hands allow. And to add to my blisters, your Rudolph carve will be the perfect partner for the bigger tree... it'll be worth the pain!

@SoeCarpeDiem 11 месяцев назад

Q: When you say stop cut, do you mean straight cut true the line or you do a V cut ? Thx !

@TboneLoyal Год назад

You have prolly answered this a hundred times. What kind of knife are you using. I looked in your description but didn’t find it. First video popped up in RU-vid feed. Hasn’t seen ya before but nice work.

@AlecLaCasseArt Год назад

Yeah, it’s a really old helvie rough out knife I bought at a garage sale

@TorsSongs Год назад

Yeah, I think im gonna take your advice when I try this- and wear a Glove, the way you were whipping that knife around had me thinking you were gonna take a finger off.😮

@AlecLaCasseArt Год назад

Good idea!!

@andrewgward7 Год назад

Awesome video, definately going to carve this myself! I have a question, what palm gouge sets would you recomend for a beginner?

@AlecLaCasseArt Год назад

Flex cut makes a few good starter sets! So does Ramelson!

@andrewgward7 Год назад

@@AlecLaCasseArt Awesome! Thanks!

@Knate1104 Год назад

Hey man love your vids and I sincerely appreciate your time educating all of us. Are there any carving tools or a set of tools you recommend if you’re on a budget? Or is it better to pay the extra $ for a single high quality tool?
