Nice work and so good to see someone carve alder. I have had the good fortune to do so a number of times and really do enjoy it. Works well wet and still manageable when it has dried out a bit. This and your kohlrosing video have made me a subscriber - now to explore your other videos. Cheers from Canada!
Thank you & it is a pleasure. If you have the tools you should definitely set aside some time to try them out. You won't regret it. Anytime spent crafting is time spent relaxing & detaching from the stresses of modern life. I love it.
