In this video you'll learn step by step how to carve a relief portrait of your favorite dog!
This is an abridged version of the project - in Limewood (UK), Basswood (US) - which you can see by going to our e-learning site: Woodcarving Workshops. The original is much more detailed; over an hour in length and comes with a download.
I'm using UK Limewood here (Tila sp), which is similar to US Basswood.
I'm not a wood carver but this was truly fascinating to watch. Even the sounds of the tools shaving the wood was hypnotic & pleasant.
How lucky for us to be shown your priceless techniques that you have learned over the years of doing your carvings.
This is by far the best carving tutorial that I have seen so far. Thanks for taking the time to teach us. I am definitely gonna try to learn how to carve.
amazing to watch a man who really knows how to use his tools you are an expert thanks for the insight
I had no idea it was going to be that difficult and detailed. I definitely underestimated the terrific skill level required and that the tools must be tip top. She's a beauty!
i know this has some age to it but you are awesome. the reason i watched is we just lost our #3 dog this past weekend 4/1/2023. i want to do something to remember our pets. i can see this takes some time to do and master but i cant think of a better way to spend my final years.
thank you for sharing.
Bob Ross of wood working! It's very calming to watch you work and beautiful piece, thanks goes sharing!
Jonasolsenwoodcraft is so good
God sure blessed you with a wonderful talent to take His wood and carve out His beautiful creation! You have helped me immensely as I pursue my dream of carving also! Thank you!!
Thankyou very much. I was having some trouble carving an eye on my Dog relief. Looked on RUclips and there you were. Again. Thankyou
Excellent sir, you are not just a wood carver but a good teacher too. You run tools as if wood is a butter. Hats off.

Traditional arts and crafts are unfortunately undervalued: the old school craftsmen are living treasures!
It is absolutely gorgeous! I believe that 90% of his success depended on these amazing tools which made the wood like a soft clay!
So rewarding to watch, you're the Bob Ross of carving
Your voice and attitude while doing this video, gives a fair amount of Bob Ross feel to it. Nice work. I needed something relaxing to watch/listen to today. Somehow I came across this video and wood carving (though I have never tried my hand at it) has always been interesting to me. So I landed here. Thanks for the relaxing video and the learning experience. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the video fellow woodcarver! i really appreciate how you made this video. very comfortable to watch and very informative :)
What a great video, I've never heard a craftsman explain so well, excellent, thank you.
Hola, gracias por compartir su conocimiento y talento, hermoso trabajo
This was so relaxing to watch and I'm really interested in wood carving now
Yes ! You are A true Artist - I can draw pretty darn Good but the way you see the small
details and transfer those to the wood is Truly Amazing & I'm in Awe of your Great
Talents!! Thank You for a wonderful Video!
Am from Hong Kong! So good! Great tutor great video! I have just started to start and it is very encouraging! I can follow …….. it is so clear! Thank you very much and I hope to learn more from you!
I am a beginner from Slovakia . Thank you for video.
Nice work. Your voice is soothing also.
I'm so impressed by your skill and calm teaching manner. I thoroughly enjoyed the video and I'm keen to try my own projects. Thank you so very much
Thank you! This is a beautiful demo!
Superb lesson in relief carving!
I love the sound that is made when a really well sharpened blade, chisels through the wood!
I need some sharpening lessons!
Thank you, a straightforward approach, no waffling about.
Very informative! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this i just found your stream got some chisels , excited to start. Love your teachings 💜 from Seattle washington USA
At last! Just got this viewing after buying your books over the years, now can try and start improving my carving . Brilliant, giving confidence to branch out.(no pun intended!)
You’ve made it look so simple and easy to do art form .... hats off ...!!!!
May be some time I’ll give it a shot ...😬
Great job. Thank you for the detailed video. I'm going to do it for my German Shepherd. I'll need a bigger board for her ears- lol.
How you do sir .
I want to thank you for this video . I just started power carving , and I've been looking for videos on , setting in your carving .
your video has answered so many of my questions .
Out of the 100's of videos ive watched , none slow down an take the time to explain why there doing a certain thing , and why there removing the wood .
So thank you again for taking the time for the ones just learning .
BEAUTIFUL WOOD CARVING, LOVE YOUR WORK, THANK YOU FOR SHARING, JENNY FROM THE ISLAND OF GUAM!!
You're incredibly talented. Thank you for sharing your method.
Remarkable work.
I like your wood carving, it is lovely.
Omg so cool! I was just checking up what to do with wood blocks and found this cool video!
Awesome work
I really enjoyed your video. Thank you. You have a true "bed time story" voice. I was so relazed, I could have fallen asleep by the end of the video. This is a compliment. You should really reads some bed time stories on video. I think you would be great!
Watching you do this make it appear so easy :-) Tells how skilful you are, thanks for sharing with the world. :-)
You are a great craftsman and I think this skill have a big potential to open school in singapore to teach!
My wife showed me this video and said "can you make this of our dog Cooper?" my only reply HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! I'm a bit short on talent, patience, tools and did I say talent. You my friend are a true artisan.
Benjamin - I have never, in 40 years, met anyone who hasn't enough of those qualities at least to have a go. Woody Allen said, '80% of success is showing up." So I'd encourage you!
and a troublemaker HAAA! My wife said the same thing.
Ben - What nonsense! If he can do it, so can you! Surprise your wife with a great carving of your dog - GO!! Just do it man! Nothing is impossible. And only the hard things in life are worth doing. The rest is mediocrity.
I think that your problem is the same as with most of us, you think of the final product of this master carving instead of thinking that you will go in steps. Think that you can do as many tries as needed to practice. Get a soft wood that you don't care to throw away. And try doing it. Put it away and look at it a day or two later, see if you can improve on it and how, do your second try. You can throw away the ones you don't like and by the time you think you'll benefit from some else's input, then you show it. Remember that a long journey is made of a thousand steps.
Benjamin DeBellis - Go make this for your wife. You have the same two hands and brain. This is not operatic singing where you need special vocal chords, or Olympic high jump. Its a bas relief which anyone can do if they put their mind to it. Go surprise yourself and your wife. Then show us what you made. Its not rocket science my friend.
For someone like myself who struggles to draw a straight line with a rule this is magical. I could never do something like that, especially since our late dog was a black Shar Pei !! Thank you for posting.
This is exactly what I want to do before my dog passes away. Thank you!
I congratulate you for perseverance, because you are an artist
Your use of the brush to remove debris is so simple but so revelatory to me. Im kind of embarrassed to think I didn't think of it! So simple but so effective. I built boats and canoes in younger years, and always saw craftsmen puffing and blowing their chips and dust away; so I did too. But this winter Ive been carving leaves; honeysuckle vines and leaves; 43 leaves, in paulonia, no less! Very light wood, nearly balsawood lightness. But it wont blow away very well; just settles into the next groove after doing a loop-da-loop. I had to stop carving and concentrate on BLOWING, before they would settle down to the floor. The brush is wht I needed to see! Thanks!
+Seth Warner An even better solution is to buy a $50 air compressor, rig up a foot peddle to an air valve, then run a tube and nozzle up to one of those fully-adjustable metal mounts used for bedside lamps.
Clamp the mount to the bench, position the nozzle where you need it and then every time you want to clear the wood chips, just push the peddle. Hands-free and more effective than a brush. I use a compressor to clear saw dust all the time, and there's nothing like it. Super effective!
The only downside is that you might need to close your eyes when you blast your work, unless you're wearing safety glasses.
Thank you for replying with an excellent method for this problem and anoyance. I do have a compressor, so just the foot peddle to get.
Seth - The advantages of a carving brush are its silence, cheapness, portability and it's ability to deal with the sorts of wood chips that readily come from carving tools. Get a nylon one (Mine is a horse brush) that you can wash now and then.
The brush is not really suitable for dust, as such; it pushes a lot of particles into the air for you to breathe. A vacuum cleaner is much better and I keep dust masks and the shopvac to hand for that sort of thing.
thank you for your full and extended reply; iknow your time comes dearly!
Excellent tutorial, very well presented and what a masterpiece.
Cheers

Uau👏👏👏, que lindo trabalho, parabéns, você explica super bem, e olha que nem entendo muito inglês, mas somente pelo modo que você mostra, gesticula eu compreendi muito bem, parabéns pelo lindo trabalho e pela ótima maneira que explicou.
World Reknowned Chris Pye .... love your videos ...
it having sharp tools to work with!! Makes a big difference! Thank you wonderful to watch
This is amazing and beautiful. I can't do anything like this but it was really nice just watching you do it!
Gracias por su ilustración, tiene unas prodigiosas y una buena herramienta, su trabajo es excelente, como principiante seguiré sus recomendaciones felicitaciones
I watched this video some time ago with the intention of carving my own beast. Now it's the time to try your techniques as my precious best friend died a month ago. TED was an Irish Wolfhound crossed with a Saint Bernard and weighed 13.5 stone. More a grizzly than a dog. Your presentation is quite brilliant and has given me the confidence to try this myself, although my chisels aren't in the same league as yours ... nor is my skill or patience ... perhaps this can be my excuse if it doesn't meet my expectations. Thanks so much for this video.
Amazing! You sir are a true artisan. After watching this, I know what I won't be trying to do any time soon........ :)
Sapele Steve - I didn't start being able to this; I started at the beginning and so can you!
If you follow the beginner's course on Woodcarving Workshops.tv and practice, you could certainly be successfully tackling this sort of carving within a year. Seriously. There's a challenge for you!
Stunning Work, great tutorial but way to advanced for my talents.
A big thanks from Reunion Island !
Best bench dog ever!
Fantastically done!❤
the beauty of creativity
Awsome carving
💐✋
Beautiful art, beautiful work and beautiful result. I always find wood carving as fascinating but not an easy art, after this I might try to experiment wood carving. I enjoyed the video, thank you 😊.
Wonderful. You have given me the incentive to carve my own buddy, Zipper the Australian Shepherd.
I have no idea why anyone would dislike (i.e. thumbs down) this video unless that's all they do is troll RUclips and make a nuisance of themselves.
Kudos on your work and video!
WOW! I would LOVE to be able to carve like this! Your video certainly shows detailed, step by step instructions on the use of tools, light and shadow, and your artistic ability! LOVE IT!
Beautiful work Sir!
You have a gifted talent. You make it look so easy I would try it too. BUT I know I would fail. I'm happy to just watch your video.
Remember that he didn’t carve that amazing dog the first time he put chisel to wood. In the years and years it has taken to build his skill set he has had epic fails. You fail, you try again, maybe you fail again another 50 times but one day you find a new technique/tool/etc and you get a result you are happy with. If you want to try woodcarving, do it!
Awesome work! Thank you for educating us. Im going to try it very soon.
Chris always love your work and your books are fantastic thank you for always inspiring me
Excelent! You love wood, dogs and share your knowledge. You are a spectacular person. Thanks a lot.

absolutely incredible talent you have
A Vizsla! Love it!
thank you very much for sharing , brilliant .
Dude, this vid was post holiday pure awesome! Got high, ate everything, watched this. Very educational, may have to give this a crack with some cheapo wood Keep making vids!
Ernest - Don't use 'cheapo wood'! You're going to be spending a chunk of time on your carving and besides making life more difficult for you as a carver, it's only a tiny part of the whole effort. Get the best you can, even if you mess it up. And if you mess it up, have another go. I always find the second time is always better: I've learned a lot and don't make the same mistakes...
Muchas gracias, desde Colombia
