Geez, let me know if you know what this wood is. All I know is that it is horrible to carve!

beech is heavy, oak as well, but oak is fibrous. Doesn't look like oak....check the bark

Doesn’t carve like oak either!

Great video Alec and even greater talent ! Love your carving tutorials as they are constantly helping me hone my carving skills. I have carved a few dozen sticks in green maple and have always gotten really nice results... give it a try sometime. I'll keep watching and learning. Thanks !

Been working on random sticks for a while. It does take a lot of patience with just a knife. But i guess when one is out on a hike it is not practical to carry half a workshop along.

The best kind of gloves to use for wood working are leather gloves turned inside out., like firefighters use, you can grab the wood really good , I have a pair of the gloves you used & and the leather gloves turned inside out, beat those gloves, hands-down

Is that Sycamore or hard Maple? If it is either, then that would explain the lighter appearance, the diffuse grain, and the hardness. Just a WAG, 🤔 You mentioned Ironwood as a possibility, but I have the impression that Ironwood is generally darker and more brown in color. It certainly is hard. For sure. Whatever that wood is, it is certainly hard enough to make your knives "chirp". This is another great video. Thanks!

I think you're right! Definitely not ironwood!

Great wood spirit Alec. I like how you have him nestled in there. My Home Depot has a great selection of burrs for the Ryobi rotary tool.

Ha ha god forsaken wood. Struggled with that about as much as that juniper lady carving ! Lumbering along here , Kudos for the attempt with the knife ! I too carve walking sticks, everyone always says what kind of wood is that? I don’t know but it is so hard like steel! I have been using a Dremel, and it still a bear to cut . Always nice to see you carve

Could that be Maple? I just finished a walking stick for a friend. It was Maple and very hard to carve on.

Hey Alec, this video came just in time as I have some walking sticks I am gonna put wood spirits on so thanks for the video, probably gonna use my Dremel also for the finer detail.

Hey Alec. Great carve! I’m gonna vote for Hickory. It looks like the one I just finished (not as good as yours) but a little smaller in diameter. I used the power tools, of course, for everything except the eyes. The Dremel struggled too. Thanks

With wood that hard, put it in the vice and use mallet tools. Much easier.

so i'm a year behind in seeing this, but let me kindly correct you... it is NOT "God forsaken wood" !!! Are you kidding me? when I want a stick I want something that can take a beating, some thing that will hold up, i'd LOVE to find a hard stick like that, it seems like something that will support me in a challenging situation. Otherwise, I LOVE your video. all of my knives are hand made from materials I have laying around. I paused watching this to see what knives I could find on ebay, I did find one sweet deal. However, I think i'll go back to my shop right now, and see if I can find a portion of saw blade that may make a decent knife for me. but before that, i'll find some more of your videos and put them on hold for me when I come back in from the shop. Thank you for your video, God bless you well.

I'm not the expert here. Wouldn't it be better to spray the stick with water? (to soften it) before carving.

I feel your pain. I found an interesting piece of wood on a hike. A vine had grown around the tree and left a nice spiral pattern in the stick. I carried it home and tried to carve a wood spirit in the stick. I am not as patient or talented as you so after an hour of struggle I gave up. I never thought of trying to complete the project with the Dremel. I have to see if I saved that project or used it as a fire starter. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us.
