Enjoyed your video. I make lots of Walking Sticks and was searching again when I found yours. I will be watching each of your following parts. I am from Missouri also. I use dto arrow hunt in Indiana but never got started again in Missouri. I am now subscribed.
Great video. I'm a wood guy myself. I know what your talking about carving while it's still green. It gets so hard once it dries out. When turning bowls on a lathe green wood is the best. It just cuts so much easier. Good luck out there!
Just ran across your video. Excellent tutorial, I specially liked the explanation that you gave for cutting below the root and the finger holds and cutting long to allow for splitting
I've been carving. Wood and walking sticks for while now. I usually shape mine while there green. And then wait. A few months and finish it. Then wait some more before I seal it. With poly.
I'm not sure what kind of wood you are using, but put some 1000 grit+ sand paper to it and it shines like poly except natural. Thanks for stopping by my friend and happy carving!
