This Sculpture Broke Half Way into the project... 

This is absolutely beautiful 😍

WATERBENDING OTTER IS EVERYTHING!!! I LOVE IT ❤❤❤

I love your artwork and your sense of humor ..

As far as I'm concerned you're already famous🥳 This otter-🌊 is amazing, and I'm so happy you're back and feeling better.😊

Stunning work.👍

I've carved a few animals in my past and must try again this year, like you, my workshop needs tidying up. Good luck in the future. 👍😉

Every time i see a new Video from you, its like Christmas for me

Another beautiful piece of artwork, I'm so glad you're back and doing better health wise. If this is what you're creating 2 months into the year, I can't imagine the masterpiece you'll create at month 12. looking forward to your next sculpture.

This video thumbnail picture looked like a large-sized mermaid and I was excited to watch it. No mermaid, but beautiful nonetheless. 10:05 It could also be taken as an otter water bender 😁 Thanks for sharing. 😊

I cannot properly describe it, but watching you sculpt just makes me immediately happy. It is really good to see you work my friend

Glad you are feeling better. Your wood carvings are amazing.

I can't believe you're back! So glad to see your carving again, you're an amazing woodworker and you make beautiful stuff. Welcome back to RU-vid!

It's so good to hear your insomnia is improving. I can definitely relate to health problems causing issues with creativity and motivation. Here's hoping everyone can get past that and move on to their best selves. Love seeing your sculptures. You're so talented.

It has potential! Truer words has never been spoken.

Another amazing sculpture! It’s beautiful, well done!!

That is amazing mate. Very interesting to see the tools you use. I think i heard you say 3 days of sand papering? Wow. Superb sculpture.

Hey Mr. Jonas, yayyy second one finished. I must say I love all of your work, but I think this one is my favourite, I love the wave, the movement, everything. I wiiiiiish I could a afford it. The next one looks also amazing, a bear, ooh I can't wait for your next video Really Great work.

2/12 very nice once again. I am vicariously proud! Keep it up bro! So, to all viewers of this video. I hope that many of you will support Jonas on patreon. I just did. It’s a great way, just for a small amount, to help make the dream come true.

gerçekten iyi bir ustasınız yaptıgınız tüm sanat eserleri taktire şayan inşaallah bende sizin gibi usta olurum

That looks amazing. You should auction these off at a crazy high price.

Blown away Jonas !! You are a gifted artist 👌👌👌thank you 🙏

Your work redefined my own... And I love attempting a masterpiece

Ironically the fourth of February is my birthday.... just saying lol

Congratulations on what you do !!!

Very beautiful and powerful sculpture👏👏 well balanced and has just the right amount of details😁 glad to hear your health is improving as well.

Very happy to see you back. This one was Fire? Or water... You get what I mean!

It is a magic Otter, maybe they have just 4 toes. Looks amazing!!! Happy to hear you're doing better.

Amazing work as always. I'm looking forward to the rest of the videos.

Очень красиво! Мастер.

Wow that’s amazing well done you 👏👏👏👏👏👍

Jonas i super duper love your workk! Its just miraculous!

You are very talented,keep up the great work.cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Gorgeous. I really like the walnut wood. I don't think it would have been as beautiful in any other wood. You work gets more beautiful each time. Keep it up. 🙂

Good job Jonas! Looks amazing :) I think the amount of detail is perfect on this one

Absolutely stunning Jonas..brovo!.!! Your Otter Shaman has its own wave to play with..brilliant... The walnut is beautiful with the wide grains..so much internal texturing..much like you apparently... Many good wishes on your recovery and success on your journey to Becoming Famous For My Sculptures..🙏...🌿🌿🌿

Again a wonderful piece. Glad to hear the health is increasing too and videos is coming more frequent. Cheers from down south of Norway

Beautiful outcome! Glad you are uploading!

Love this sculpture, can't wait for the next

That sculpture would make a beautiful top on a newel post, guiding people up the staircase. So much of your work, I envision in people's home so that it can be enjoyed everyday. Have you ever considered making larger pieces, like a fireplace mantel or surround. It would be stunning!

absolutely LOVE your work!! glad you are feeling better and are once again sharing your beautiful art!!!

Oh I concur on the pencil scramble. I have a 12 count of Dixon jumbo finishing pencil and a 20 count of Dixon carpenter pencil sprinkled around the shop...pro PRO tip, buy a couple of packs but sharpen all of them right away. Nothing worse than needing a pencil, finding a pencil, and needing to sharpen it 😒

ciao bravissimo, posso sapere che tipo di fresetta hai nel dremel?

I'm so happy you're doing better! I loved your video and I'm excited to see the next one :D

Hey!! Happy to see you back!! Beautiful work! I have a question. I am a stone sculptor (soapstone and alabaster). I have gone through so many Dremel type drills from stone dust getting into them and seizing the motor. Have you had this problem at all?

That otter is absolutely beautiful.

Amazing art work🎉🎉

What a beautiful piece! You’re really going to go far. Cheers from Western Canada

Bravissimo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again, love your carvings and they are what got me into carving. Glad you’re back.

Glad to hear you are doing better! Another epic piece and the drawing for your next piece looks amazing as well. Cant wait to watch it ^^ i like this length of video better as well and the b-roll of applying the oil looked

Absolutely stunning Jonas. To echo another commenter, seeing you always brings a smile to my face, I love to see how you work and, well, not to sound creepy, but you have a very gentle, sweet smile and your eyes betray your pure soul. I'm happy that whatever medical problems you've been facing are starting to run it's course and you're finding yourself at the light on the other end of the tunnel.

Amazing work! The curves of this one are so beautiful! So much talent! PS: you inspired me to start sculpting with your phoenix pendant. Thank you and good luck on becoming famous, you deserve it!

Wow, that is so spiritual to me. Very graceful and beautiful. Thank you for doing this piece and sharing it with us.

Very beautiful 🤗💫👌

Well it's only fair to have 4 toes since the 5-toed otters have less shamans. I think it's a cultural thing. Good to hear you're feeling a bit better.

What a wonderful thing to see on a rainy Friday!!! -Ohhhhhh, I have dropped and broken things JUST like that before.....your hearts drops, and if someone was videoing me there would be several BLEEPS as well, -Yes, all woodscraps must be kept! Woodworkers and scraps are like dragons with gold. -I also sharpen my pencils this way lol! It works great! -Clamps and glue fix almost all problems, you can never have too many of either one. -SO EXCITED ABOUT THE PENDANTS! -Do you find that the dremal with a flexshaft gives you plenty of power? Does it bog down easily? -I LOVE the final step, where you get to put finish on. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CARVING!!! I am so excited for the next one, and this makes me want to try something that large myself!!!

imponerende arbeid mr 👍 hvor holder du til?

Фантастически круто !!!👌

Amazingly artistic sculpting. You have a gift...Wizard!!

I’m having fun watching you become famous!

That sculpture is absolutely stunning- well done.

WOW! It turned out amazingly epic!

just how it flows its so nice

the way the boards line up at the otter's leg is perfect! The whole sculpture came out SO WELL! I'm so glad to see your shop & Patreon are back open as well!! If there is a green & blue fox (like the green & blue wolf) up any time soon I'm snagging it for sure!

Этот мастер- гений!

Beautiful ❤

Lion + Fire

I'm watching some of these older videos for the first time and am continually amazed by your work. You truly are talented.

You take this sculpting to an oter level... :)

Fantastic work ! I think you should make some of your sketches into long banners behind the work. Possibly with different colors behind the white paper. Think ancient Chinese scrolls ! Your drawing is top-notch, as is your sculpting. Thank you for sharing with us ! 😊 Of course now I want you to carve a horse with a full main & tail due to the wave coming out so well.

Gorgeous!

Igjen, fantastisk!

Hi Jonas! A friend recently sent me a link to your videos and they are superb. I really love the black walnut you favor and I really want to try it (I'll have to look up the janka hardness but it doesn't seem like your tools are struggling with it). I am also a new carver (not a very good sketch artist like you - that's definitely a huge advantage you have!) - and I confess that it's fear of imperfection that keeps me from my shop, but your words - and showing your mistakes - really helps. Hey it might be a stupid tip but there's a tool I use that I haven't seen you use. It's simple and I can't tell you how I love it. It's an air duster. The concentrated strong burst of air will blow the sawdust from the grain of the wood quicker and more thoroughly than a brush, and if you're looking for your burrs which I know you probably don't put back in one place as you work - you can pick up your air duster and just blow off the dust and reveal your whole bench. I've had two; first one was cheap but it lasted a year before I broke it. Just pay attention to the customer reviews and you can find a good one. I'll try to post a link if RU-vid will let me but I got mine from the all-powerful Amazon. I think they run about 30 USD now. Anyway very best of luck - your work is so beautiful. www.amazon.com/Replacement-Compressed-Canisters-Keyboard-Computer/dp/B0CXXYQKJN/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?crid=3C6P39R1TKM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.UwUDIN_GXT_YbOVa7cMnZ9ljOu3rXbH3H7FS4Zf6cAk23JVlTTcEVkvQNcF6oEW_disoOo7AP48jnWyBTWZWMWuy0rDowf1Vss8CFHqDa5nRzdnTJ0nqWXl5jN1vpoNlH26SqqLDfzh9s9IBAMAWbJGLhMwMl9wUZrdOGconaDZF_2CxzqN18GuIG8tR25noOJM2H-V6lG-qKlmpE05Q7g.VxTPLSLRShvAO3D7aF6n49fWWWzPQJOHg4VFcD1Uqps&dib_tag=se&keywords=air+duster&qid=1712772170&sprefix=air+duster%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-18

I'm binge watching all your sculpture videos. ❤❤❤

Good to see you facing the challenges. And that otter turned out beautiful. The walnut pattern... Right choice. And i'm especially glad that you chose the otter, the "landskapsdjur" of Småland in Sweden where i come from.

That is absolutely GORGEOUS! Very jealous of whomever ends up owning it (I could never afford such beauty). I hope the exhibition goes well and your sculptures go to good homes :) Definitely subbed to see what else you have planned!

Nothing to say but WOW!!! Really beautifull. Keep going Jonas.

absolutely fantastic sculpture, well done! Im glad you run online shop - I will share link on my social media! Im looking forward to next video!

Wow, this is spiritual art - gorgeous.

Absolutely stunning, beautiful. When you mentioned about a model for reference the thing is that you are copying someone else's interpretation of the subject for me personally I would use as many photos of the subject to be carved, but what ever works for you.

Knallbra!👏👏👏

Great Work Jonas. Thank you for your time and effort in showing how you go about the process.

What was that bit you used when sanding the firewood log off of the bottom of the sculpture? That thing looks really useful.

A clean shop is a safe shop. Please spend the few hours it needs to present your space better. You will appreciate the extra space and spend less time trying to find things. Be safe brother. I love your work 👊

Have you posted anywhere what carving bits you use?

I am jealous of your otter sightings. They are such fun animals.

SHOWWWW

This one is so beautiful I actually cried 👏💜

I want one but cannot afford your level of craftsmanship 😍

This sculpture is lovely and the finish really did show the grain so well, as for cutting your stand piece shorter next time i wouldnt its better to leave it a little long and take extra time smoothing back, than cut to close and mark the piece

I think that making a bronze will be better for long.lasting fame

Amazing work!!!! Very talented love watching your videos 👏👏

This a gorgeous piece of art! Fantastic!

Hello Jonas; After watching your projects on RU-vid. I become more and more excited doing woodcarving. I'm not that good as you're, but I feel good when I'm in my workshop spending time woodcarving! Lovely Greetings out of the Netherlands😊 Ritchie

Amazing! I love your art!

You are absolutely amazing!!! I have no words !! I call what you do real art!!! Beautiful!! Excellent, keep it up !! Just by the way :) what cutters do you use? Diamonds? Or rotary carbide? Or others ? It's hard to tell in the videos. Thanks ,-)

Great piece!! Good job Jonas 😄

Your drawings are stunning.

Hand sanding is always the worst! I hate it so much haha, I’m making an Alto Flute (metal work) and it’s always the sand in/polishing bit I despise! If only there was a machine to do it haha Amazing sculpture too Also, if you’re able you should come to Makers Central in Birmingham, England one year. You’d get to see slot of other RU-vid makers

Maravilhoso....que dó, qdo quebrou, rs. O q usa p o acabamento?❤
