Steve Hunter Woodcarving

Добавлен 11 сен 2020
I started this channel as a method to share some video clips of projects that I work on with family members. I decided to make one of those videos public and had an overall positive response to it. Since that time I have grown the channel and am really enjoying the process of creating informative, beginner-friendly carving demonstrations with a lot of helpful tips that I have picked up over my 25+ years of carving. I also showcase some more advanced projects for those that are further along in their carving journey and are either, like me and just enjoy watching carving almost as much as carving, or are maybe looking for some different ideas.
Back in the mid to late 1990's I was introduced to wood carving by my dad and have enjoyed it off and on ever since. In the last 2-3yrs I have spent more time with a knife in a piece of wood and seem to be claiming that as my favorite past time.
If you like what you see here leave a comment or a like. Thanks and enjoy!

Bark Carving a Wood Spirit - Using a Rough Out Knife!
In this video, I show you how you can carve a wood spirit from cottonwood bark even if you don't have the best gouges to use. After clearing the outside of the bark off, I switch to a Helvie Rough Out Knife for the majority of the carving. It is challenging at times, but it was a super fun carve and I plan on more bark carving in the future. I hope you enjoy the carve!

Whittle While You Wait: Sticky Crocodile
Great carving Steve .. a lot of detail with just a knife ..Thank you for sharing
Thanks Gene. It was a fun carving, cottonwood bark is an interesting material.
I want a BSB knife!!!!!!
Thank you for watching and commenting Michael. The contest has been over for quite a while now. Since the video, I have started a website and now sell Badger State Blades knives. I offer free shipping on every knife. Please go to hunterscreations.com to check them out.
From what I know about it, mineral oil dosen't dry well. just my two cents.
That could be. I haven't really done any long-term testing with mineral oil. However, just the other day, I picked up a carving that I set aside close to a year ago. That carving had been coated with the terra nova naturoil that I typically use before painting. Aside was looking at the carving, I saw a couple things I wanted to change. I was pleasantly surprised how smooth and easy it carved after sitting for a year. It's an interesting topic for sure.
Likeness is spot on and brings back memories of my childhood. I enjoy watching you carve, which makes me want to carve more faces. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the kind words. I enjoyed carving him.
He looks great Steve ..One of my young days favorite show ..I think your likeness is wonedrful ..Thank you for sharing
Thanks Gene. I am considering following it up with the rest of the cast. You never know what is going to pop into the "I should carve that" list.
Hi , i am relatively new to carving and I have only recently found your channel. I have subscribed and watch your videos regularly. I have never carved a cat but I am going to try after watching this video. If you have the opportunity I would like to see the painting process for this cat. enjoy our channel. Thanks
Welcome to the channel, and to the very rewarding hobby of wood carving! Thank you for the feedback about wanting to see a video on the painting process. I will put that on the TO-DO list for sure. Thanks again and happy carving!
I love all your videos thanks for sharing them. Could you just imagine if we could get some of the young folks off video games and get them carving. Gods bless
I agree 100%. The world could benefit so much from a new generation that would learn to love working with their hands and creating things. Thank you for watching!
Love the comfort birds. Have given many away
Thank you. They are a nice project to carve. I have been thinking about making a follow up video on comfort birds. Do you have any suggestions that would help people out learning to carve these? Thanks for watching.
this is SO simple and so smart
Thank you! It has served me well for may years. Since making this video, I have created my own website and sell this finger safety tape along with other items. If you need more safety tape check out huntersmake.com. thanks for watching!
I have both Beavercraft and Flexcut knives. I find the detail knife handle is almost identical between the two. The Flexcut is coated with a finish and Beavercraft is unfinished. I prefer the unfinished handle so I sand the finish off the Flexcut on carve happily along,.
I tend to agree with you about having a heavy finish on the handles. I have a couple knives that I have taken the sand paper to as well. After I made this video, I tried out a Badger State Blades knife and was very impressed with the shape and finish on their standard handles. So much so, that I do most of my carving with one. I have started selling them on my website now. If you are ever looking to try a different knife, check them out at huntersmake.com. Thanks for watching!
Enjoy your videos! I made one of your thumb guards! I love it. The tape fits great and can be removed easily. Thanks for sharing that!!!
Your welcome, I'm glad you liked it. Since making that video, I now offer that same tape on my website. If you need more check out huntersmake.com
You went off camera when you did the hair
Thank you for the feedback Ronnie. I will make some adjustments before my next video. I am going to be recording a new video this afternoon. Thanks for watching!
@S.Hunter I'm 73 I tried carving about 3 months ago, made 3 lil 1 inch carving's, and I love your pup in a cup, an think I'll try it, but I'm lazy so it will take awhile, I thank people like you for sharing God Bless you and Have a Merry Christmas/ from UHRICHSVILLE Ohio
@ronnieabel6739 Nothing wrong with taking your time on a carving. When I am carving off camera, I take my time and enjoy every cut
I won't be able to carve again if I don't have one!!
Kevin, I am happy that you are so fond of the mugs. The contest ended a while back. I do have the mugs for sale on my website. Copy and paste the following into your browser and check them out......huntersmake.com/product/warning-wood-carving-talk-travel-mug-with-a-handle/ Another option would be to drop Christmas gift hints to your loved ones buy writing out the link on post-it notes and sticking them in conspicuous places. If you choose this method, you are going to have to be aggressive with the hinting, we are getting close. Thank you for watching and commenting. Stay tuned, I am sure it won't be the last giveaway I do.
Great video, wonderful carving
Thank You! Thanks for watching!
Great video. Well done. Inspiring work. Thank you.
Thank you John! I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Overall a great video but one major frustration I had was the fact that you don't say what tools you use upfront. I was halfway through my cat when you started pulling chisels and stuff out which I don't have. I had no way of doing the face with just my knife. I'm still got a decent cat from your instructions, but much rougher. Please consider adding every tool you use at the start of a vid! Thanks for your effort, it was really helpful otherwise :)
Thanks for the great feedback! I will try to talk more about required tools at the beginning. Sometimes I don't know what I am going to use ahead of time. I can always keep track and record a tools-used clip afterwards and edit that in at the beginning. Thanks for watching!
@@S.Hunter That would be amazing. Thanks for taking it on board! I still managed a neat little carving from your description and it was super helpful for a beginner. :)
Goes to show badger is a quality knife❤
It does. I use that knife for pretty much all of my carving these days. Even when I should probably grab a gouge, or different size knife. Thanks Rick.
@S.Hunter I love mine
Just found your channel and I subscribed. I've been wanting to make a cat for awhile and although there are plenty of examples out there I plan to follow this one. Nicely done. I *really* like the spinning images of your 'in progress' work. That is super useful to help visualize the ongoing project in 3D. Thanks!
Thank you! I am glad you found the channel and hope you enjoy the carving.
try water and detergent, detergent is a wetting agent
Thanks for watching. Does it matter what type of detergent and what concentration?
@@S.Hunter detergent is a wetting agent and can be used to allow water in to inter things like wood you can find it in some dishwashing liquid
This is insanely cool
Thank you!
I want one!!!
Thanks Kevin. They are really nice mugs. The giveaway is over, but I do have them available on my website at huntersmake.com/product/warning-wood-carving-talk-travel-mug-with-a-handle/ if you would like to purchase one. Thanks for watching!
These are fantastic Steve ..Excellent projects ..Great job ..Thank you for sharing
Thanks Gene!
New to all this. Love the videos thanks for sharing
Thanks Kendall. Carving is a great hobby!
Have two of these and will get a couple more. Beats everything except the almost impossible to get Helvie at a fraction of the cost
They are great knives. When you are looking for more, I do stock them on my website now at huntersmake.com Thanks for watching.
Wow Steve! Absolutely love these. Amazing and so creative!
Thank you! Glad you like them.
Ahhh baah hum bug 😂😎cool carving my friend
Thanks Rick. I need to come up with a shorter video now. Any requests?
Wow I love this and hope I can carve a few. I'd like to see ur how to 's
Thanks Janie! When you say you would like to see the how tops are you referring to the rotating progress images that I have had in previous videos?
Very nice carving and love my big cup🎉❤ when I am out carving away from the coffee pot 😁
Glad you are enjoying the cup! Thanks for checking out the pups
Steve I think you have outdone yourself with this one. Going tomorrow to get some 1 1/2" stock, can't wait.
Thank you for the kind words DanO!
He’s a really cool Grinch! Thanks for the video.❤❤❤
Thanks Tommie, I am glad you liked it.

Hello from Springdale, Arkansas.. Sam The Wood Carver here, Great video Steve I've been using 50/50 for over +45 years it works great no problems. Happy carving everyone keep on keeping on that is how you get better at carving.
Hi Sam. Glad you liked the video. I am doing some additional testing now for a follow up video. Stay tuned!
Lose the god awful intro, the weird green screen and the scripting Good carving though
Thank you for the honest feedback. I will certainly take all that into consideration. I know what you are referring to with the intro and green screen, but I am not sure what you are referring to with scripting. I do appreciate the comments.
Thank you!
You're welcome, Tommie. I didn't receive your email with the mug choice. Please email me - huntersmake@gmail.com.
I'll check out my email hope I didn't delete it 💥😎 thank you so much

Sorry Matt. I don't remember seeing an entry from you. Rest assured, this won't be the last time I give stuff away. Thanks.
@S.Hunter no reason for being sorry Steve! I was 100% joking around 😁
Thanks for the interesting and informative video on something I've had trouble with and that's strength in my hands. I'm just beginning...again! Ha. I used to carve years ago and found it to be very relaxing.
That's great that you are getting back into carving! I too, find it very relaxing. Thanks for watching!

So what your saying is, eat more cereal? Edit:Website looking good.
When it comes to recommending what to eat...I 1000% think the carnivore diet is what humans should be following. I bought the cereal just to get the box for this video.
