Very nicely done. You certainly have the fine art of teaching your craft mastered. It was a joy to watch and listen to your instruction as the “ little man” came to life. You and Doug Linker have got “it” when when you present your skills through the tutorials. Please keep them coming because they are greatly appreciated and valued. Best, Chuck Leaf, newbie wood guy.
Thank you oh so much for the way you present your carvings. I find it so beneficial the stages that you take us through to get to the finished product!
Super step-by-step instructions on a nifty little guy! These type of carvings are one of my favorites and one that many new carvers really love as they can easily do them plus learn new techniques! Thanks for such a wonderful series and ALL the effort and work you did to create this great series! Safe carving ALWAYS to you and yours!
Sharon, I just ran across your youtube channel tonight. I am completely hooked by your carving and teaching. Thank you for doing this to help all of us.
Hello to all my students. Thank you for checking out my Carving videos, I just launched a whole new course on Wood Carving over on Udemy.com and I wanted to give my loyal viewers a 50% coupon so you can learn and enjoy for a great deal. Just click the coupon link and it will take you to my new course. Hope you learn a lot!! www.udemy.com/wood-carving-for-beginners/?couponCode=Carving4RUclips
Sharon, many thanks for providing a fascinating introduction into this craft. I tried my hand at woodcarving about 40 years ago but without the aid of the internet in those days and the lack of courses I didn't get very far. I am retired now and this has given me the urge to try my hand again with the advantage that this time I have a good instructor. I look forward to more videos and would appreciate it if you could let me know whether you have DVD's or books for sale (please note that I would need postage details as I live in England UK). Knives have been requested as Christmas presents this year. Thanks again. Kind Regards. Roger
You have helped me get back to carving after many years. Great teaching! I am working on my third Guy, still trying to get the cute look. Looking forward to your next little Santa guy teaching.
AMAZING teacher~!!!! I learned more from Sharon than any other wood carver~!! She shows each step so clearly, knife grip and cut. Really hope Sharon posts more carving videos....please :)
I don’t think I can get an answer here, but what size V tool are we looking at for this size of stuff? I looked on Amazon and am just now thoroughly confused. 😳
Hey, love your videos on step by step..... I'm just starting out in this hobby and I'm excited. How do you keep you knife so sharp? I tried one of your lil people with a piece of Tupelo but didn't turn out like I hoped.
DBK compound, stroppy stuff, and or Bark River CBN emulsion on (Kangaroo) leather strop for me. 1 - 4 micron. Just a couple strops every now and then when you feel your cuts aren’t as clean.
Thanks! I just finished my first figure and your videos was really helpful, maybe a little weird camera angles from time to time but overall great. I got one small problem, and it doesn't got to do with your videos. I didn't buy "fine-grained" balsa wood. So sometimes the wood would chip or I couldn't get that sharp of a corner (and I didn't do the face out fear i would ruin my guy). But it was really fun and a good learning curve to get me started. But next time I will try to buy better balsa wood. Are you buying a different type of balsa? If so, what's it called?
I believe you would be much better served purchasing 'basswood' rather than 'balsa' wood... Basswood is much finer grain and more dense wood than balsa thus allowing finer detail in carving... Leave balsa wood to the model airplane hobby and enjoy the more benefits of basswood! I'm sure you will be much more satisfied and pleased with the results!

I don’t think I can get an answer here, but what size V tool are we looking at for this size of stuff?
I looked on Amazon and am just now thoroughly confused. 😳
I have carved about forty of this farmer. Everything looks good except for the face, but I am getting closer every time. Still a little ways to go.

You are a very clever woman
SHARON DO YOU DO ANY MUSICAL LITTLE PERSON
You are very clever
Nice video

What brand and style knife are you using for the face carving?

2020, bravo !
Loved the videos, complete less painting. I want to order a micro v and micro u for these projects. What size do you recommend?
hi ...I m from India ..and I watched ur video it was very helpful ..India I leave in small town were this type of wood we can't get easily ..can u just help me by sending site link ..so that I can purchase this types of wood online ..
Qué tipo de madera USA
I want to make a set of chess pieces using this technique! :)
"A little botox here and there.." Sharon you are amazing!
Hello,
May I ask what kind of wood is it?
Thank you.
Basswood
What type of wood is this ?!
Basswood. Available on Amazon.
It seems that you are trying to hide the wooden block throughout most of the video
I don't see where You do the eyes, nose and mouth?
thank you
i want all vidio please
play list
pls reply
WHERE is your carving glove - your students at least need one!
She don't need one....she has Leather skin, from years of practice
..LMAO
how the heck am I suppose to see how that face is carved?
Tim Moen :pay attention. The artist describes every step in clear detail. You should start with the first of this series and work your way through.
She has a 2 part video on carving faces, and it’s well worth your time to watch it!
Thanks Sharon I love the way you teach and the stories you tell about your little man, you inspire me ❤️
