WOOD CARVING A TURTLE: HOW TO WHITTLE A COMFORT TURTLE FROM COTTONWOOD BARK
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2020
- Thanks to Woodcarving Magazine for the awesome how to article on carving a 'comfort turtle' out of wood. I of course used Cottonwood bark! It's a good whittle for learning about planes, and experimenting with different tools to get the same look. Finished with homemade beeswax oil, this little whittle is a pleasure to hold in the hand.

I like that you just show what to do and dont talk all the time.
Nice
Incredible, the hands of the skillful sculptor, I will definitely make a video about a works using sand and cement, stay tuned!
I really love this you have inspired me thank you.! 😊
Really cool video! This will help me carve mine.
Many thanks for the video.
Imma try to make this for my gf she loves turtles
That looks like fun, I'm gonna have to give this a go.
It's fun, and the finished carving feels great in the hand.

Nice धेरै राम्रो छ
Love that you used cottonwood we have that here in AK and it's tough to find some of the carving woods that you see in videos... I have been thinking about getting into carving but the lack of wood options has had me hesitant. May just give it a try now that I know I can use local woods
Might as well try what you've got! It's fun getting out looking, too. =)
Amazon has a lot to select from! FYI if you need a kit as well, look for some by Beavercraft. They'll have a coupon code on one of the pictures of it, use it and you'll get a set of 10 basswood blocks for under a dollar.
I enjoyed your video. Can you tell me the carving tool you are using at the 6:44 mark in the video? You are cleaning out the grooves you just cut with a knife. Thanks for posting this video.
That tool is part of my scorp set, and I love it! It's basically a v-tool you pull instead of push. The set of four scorps is from Flexcut, comes with the v-tool and three sizes of gouge or scoop.
@@carvingthecottonwood Thank you for your quick response. I purchased one this morning.
I did it with the Woodglut plans.
Love to see it!
@@carvingthecottonwood I'm glad that you love it !
Good night, I am learning to carve in wood and I noticed that you have a very peculiar tool and I would like to know where I buy your tool, especially that multitool that has many accessories for carving, if you can give me a point of sale where to get it, I would appreciate it too much.
My tools are from Lee Valley, and the multitool is called the Carving Jack. Happy carving!
@@carvingthecottonwood I appreciate that you answered me, thank you very much it has helped me; Greetings from the state of Mexico.
Youre carving very nice...how can l find cotton wood?
Check my channel, there are videos of bark hunting in Alberta and BC, Canada, that show you what to look for, and one all about poplars. You can also order bark online from several sources. It is, rather obviously, my favourite! 😎
Hello...youre carving are very nice...l want soft wood...l want cotton wod...please tell me...how l can buy it?
like the vid
What is that you used to finish the wood. I’m knew to carving
Welcome to carving! Watch out, it's addictive, haha. That finish is homemade, super simple, food safe and all-natural. Here's a video on how to make it yourself. ruclips.net/video/dZY2SxGlfQ4/видео.html

Thank you
Nice work. Where can I get a pattern to make one?
I got it from the magazine called Woodcarvers Illustrated, I think.
Do you have a copy that I might use?
I have the pattern somewhere (I'm between houses, ugh) but you could try searching up any ole turtle pattern and go from there.
@@carvingthecottonwood That's the one! Spring 2020
Awesome, thanks!
Check out Wood carvers of the World on Facebook there's a lot of cool carvings on there
Looks more like a tortoise to me🤔
I want to carve wood but I don't want to hurt the trees :(
That's why I love carving Cottonwood bark! It is harvested from poplars that have died and are shedding the bark, so no need to kill a live tree! =)
@@carvingthecottonwood nvm I cut down a tree and made a rose
Love to see a picture!
@@carvingthecottonwood well I actually made it a while back and long since given the carving away but I do have the picture lol
That's a tortoise though.
😀 all tortoises are turtles, though not all turtles are tortoises 😁
Great looking project but the video could be better by losing the music and giving a better explanation of what you are doing.
Noted!
