This turtle REALLY for beginners. Use a cylindrical shape of branch for woodcarving. 

Thank you too. Good luck.

Most often, my carving is not as intended. Usually, I only need a few branches. So, it's very sad.

I used just basswood and aspen, but I also have a few spoiled. Don't give up, and good carving to you.

Thank you for your words. This is the linden tree.

60mm for all, 20mm for head, 15 for front legs and 15 for hind legs. It's not important. I have turtles of other sizes. And look in the community tab. You will find some photos there: www.youtube.com/@SmallWoodenSculpture/community

This knife is my homemade product. He is great for me, but I don't know anything else.

@@SmallWoodenSculpture great knife . If you want anything else, try mora 120, beavercraft , or maybe victorinox camper/hiker with resharpening little blade, for whittling on the go,but if you like your knife, imo, you don’t need anything else .

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

Basswood.

I made my knife myself. The blade length is 40 mm. The overall length of the knife is 130 mm. In this video, I used basswood. Good carving to you.

Не можу нічого порекомендувати. Бо раніше не цікавився темою. Я частіше використовую саморобний. Хоч і з недоліками, але звичний для мене.
