Love how you show how you use the bits and I ask you to please keep doing that as a new Dremel carver I'd can use all the help I can get . And showing the tips used
Thanks for sharing, beautiful job it looks so good! I've been carving for about a month now & I love it! I love to watch videos like urs bc I always learn something new. Definitely subscribing! Stay safe & take care!
It looks great and inspires me to try this more than anything else I've ever seen. Thanks for the the excellent tips on what bits you use. I suppose we can expect a person doing such work to mind such details. At what stage do you join the boards? And please tell us that the band-aid we see at about 3:55 is from non-woodworking activity. Thanks for doing this video. You rock.
Thanks David! I glued the three smaller boards together before I did the carving, then glued the carved piece onto the larger board. The bandaid was unrelated to woodworking !LOL
Hi I'm new to all this carving stuff. Actually first things first nice job really like it. I just wanted to ask when u switched bits to the aggressive bit to remove wood on the outside of the tree u left a bit of wood around edge and came back to it when you put smaller bit on. What I'm wondering is wouldn't it be easier and look better to do the whole trim detail before removing all the wood surrounding the tree.
I think it's up to you. I like to remove the bulk before I do the edges, just because I feel like I can see it better. If you like to get a nice edge then remove the bulk of the extra wood, that works too.
That was very beautifully done and the Video was excellent and nicely narrated... Step by step. Thank you for showing us this. 3 QUESTIONS: 1) How long did this process take, including the stencilling and carving the plywood board? ..2) What speeds did you use on your Dremel?... 3) Did you use a clear Polyuretnane for the finish?-- Would love to know these details?... Thanks again.
Thanks Jay! This one took me about 2 months from start to finish. When I’m carving in oak, my speed setting is pretty much always on 30. I didn’t put a finish because bit is meant to go with another piece that isn’t finished yet. I didn’t want to put a finish coat on just in case I wanted to add any black wax.
Thanks Ken. I remember I sketched it out on 4 pieces of printer paper taped together. If you like this tree, just take a screen shot of it and use it as a reference. I know I used something as a reference, but don't remember the specifics. I do know it took me a few days of erasing and perfecting the sketch.
I believe the stuff in this video was 3/4". You can really use anything you want as long as you don't carve too deep. I'm sure many other craftsmen would not advise plywood, but I use what I can afford-lol
Thank you for getting back to me...I’ve been watch some of your other videos and they are amazing and very inspiring. I love how you describe and explain while we watch you work. I forgot to ask you do you have a preference to the type of plywood you use, (oak etc) , which do you find works best. Also I watched the video where you made the candle, I would love to have you make a video on how you hollowed it out (l confess I haven’t watch all of them so maybe you already have) thank you again.
@@sueswegman7779 Thanks Sue! Usually the soft woods are easier to work with- like pine or birch. I prefer to work with wood that isn't too grainy. I had to use oak for that particular project in order to match another piece, but oak can be a bit of a pain because of the grain. I considered doing a video on the hollowing out, but it would have been a terrible angle and very boring-lol. I started by drilling several holes into the aspen log, then removed the remaining wood with the dremel.
There's gotta be a more efficient way to do the outsides. Have you ever tried to use an angle grinder? I think the dremel would be too tedious for me and I'd never finish lol
@@sashaskapar2324 You drew the tree yourself? Wow nice. Really wish I'd paid more attention to my grandmother who was a professional oil painter. But I was always more of a crafter. So I plan to cheat & use stencils/printed things. It seems an awful lot like coloring & I love that. Thanks for the tips since I'm just starting. I haven't even started an actual project. I'm just playing around for the moment.
I taped 4 pieces of printer paper together and drew the design on that. I then went over the drawing with a permanent marker, so the ink would soak through to the wood.
im really not a fan of oak my main material is cottonwood bark with hand tools also devils club and with power tools hazelnut is cool but then i aint been makin big pcs
Hi Sasha, I have a question... When you carve the inner and outer terrain in the wood, how do you know they are all on the same highet? How can I control it and make sure the lower level is all in the same highet? Thank you
No, I don't use power carvers. I do my carving by hand only. I build custom hand carved log furniture. When the power goes out forever I will still be able to hand carve my furniture whenever I wish. She can't say that. To her credit she does do a great job. Keep up the great work beautiful.
Hola , vamos a ver : plantilla para dibujar y una máquina para lo demás, porqué no lo dibujas sin plantilla y lo recortas con herramientas artesanas? le darías más valor...
This is the best tutorial I've seen.
Beautiful work and so good explained!! Thank you for sharing your great gifted skills and awesome projects !! ❤️💪🏻

Bonjour de France , magnifique arbre , je vais essayer de faire le même
Encore bravo.
Beautiful piece very nicely done.
Unbelievable I am working exact same design for a log chair nearly identical process only I’m going for the negative version. Great work 👍
Good luck!
Looks nice!

Hi that is very good work. I like your technique. Thanks for letting us know what kind of bits you were using with the Dremel.
Wow! Awesome work! I'd love to see what you could do with chisels and gouges!!
Thanks! I probably couldn't do much with chisels and gouges-lol
@@sashaskapar2324 lol well, you did an excellent job!
Wat speed do u run the dremel
Awesum job
I would love to try it
Great job
As. good a vid as I've ever seen and thank you. for taking the time to do it!
Wow, brilliant job!

I first watxhed this video almost 2 years ago. I admire your work, I an STill unable to find a suitable pattern for the tree.

Bravo magnifique travail
👍👌
Very beautiful!
Awesome and inspiring work, If I can find that image, I will definitely try to finish that..
Thanks! Pinterest has many similar images. I took one for inspiration and just changed details.
Beautiful. Thanks for the video.
Hi Sasha, how wide are the boards that you used? Did you glue them together? Thank you. The tree is amazing!
Thank you! The boards were about 5" wide I think. Yes, I glued them together, then glued them onto the larger board.
🤝🤝👍👍
This is beautiful 😍 I wish you would help me with a project I have in mind right now!!!!
Beautiful work lm very impressed.
I’m new to carving, you said you use plywood...what thickness do you normally use when carving?
I believe the stuff in this video was 3/4". You can really use anything you want as long as you don't carve too deep. I'm sure many other craftsmen would not advise plywood, but I use what I can afford-lol

@@sashaskapar2324 Thank you for ball your help.
Wow, that is beautiful!
Howcan Blythe took howmuch
Looks great, the carving is pretty good too😁

VERY NICE !
Very beautiful! Where do you get your patterns? dawing freehand is not my forte.
Thanks! I am not great at drawing either. Often times I trace coloring pages, or spend a lot of time recreating a picture that I use for inspiration.
Hi Sasha, Great piece of art here. What are the dimensions and how do you print your template? Thank you
Thanks! It’s about 16x16. I taped a few pieces of card stock together and drew the tree
@@sashaskapar2324 You drew the tree yourself? Wow nice. Really wish I'd paid more attention to my grandmother who was a professional oil painter. But I was always more of a crafter. So I plan to cheat & use stencils/printed things.

Thanks for the tips since I'm just starting. I haven't even started an actual project. I'm just playing around for the moment.
I’m not very good at drawing. It took me a long time and a lot of erasing 😉
I also used a few things from Pinterest for inspiration
Wow. How long did that take?
Sasha how do you get such a large design on the wood?
I taped 4 pieces of printer paper together and drew the design on that. I then went over the drawing with a permanent marker, so the ink would soak through to the wood.
@@sashaskapar2324 Thank You. It's an awesome work of art.
It is very nice 👍
That outside area could be removed easier and faster with a chisel and mallet.
Lindo seu trabalho.
Parabéns.
im really not a fan of oak my main material is cottonwood bark with hand tools also devils club and with power tools hazelnut is cool but then i aint been makin big pcs
I like ur wrk
I have a question what is the best way to cut through small areas of wood what would you use??
Probably a round carving bit
Thank u
Hi Sasha, I have a question... When you carve the inner and outer terrain in the wood, how do you know they are all on the same highet? How can I control it and make sure the lower level is all in the same highet? Thank you
I just eye ball it- it’s definitely not perfectly level 😉
No, I don't use power carvers. I do my carving by hand only. I build custom hand carved log furniture. When the power goes out forever I will still be able to hand carve my furniture whenever I wish. She can't say that. To her credit she does do a great job. Keep up the great work beautiful.
If the power goes out forever carving will be the last thing anyone is thinking about.
