    Hey Van. New to carving. But I appreciate your calm, logical progression of steps to a fun completion. People are either teachers or they are not. You certainly are a teacher. Thanks!

    @larrybain5571 4 месяца назад +1

    I started carving about 3 years ago after I retired. I came across your videos and I found them very helpful. Thanks for all you do. I have more trouble with eyes possibly because I carve mostly one inch material.

    I have to say you have helped me understand how to carve an eye i have watched so many other videos and have not gotten it until i stubbled upon your videos
    Keep up the good work

    Ears. Ears are the hardest thing for me, and so many projects just avoid them altogether. Would love to see your approach to that anatomy.

  • @jtandroid6718
    @jtandroid6718 4 месяца назад +1

    Hey Van - thanks for these videos. I'd be interested in the freeform side being a series of mouths with different expressions such as happy, sad, goofy, pouty, kissing etc..

  • @deanmartin9598
    @deanmartin9598 4 месяца назад

    I just started carving 3 months ago. I saw your singing Christmas tree and was hooked. Every one that saw my carving of it wanted one. I just started watching you on u tube and love the way you explain your cuts. Obviously I would love your carving stick, but even if I’m not chosen, I will watch all your videos. Thank you for your inspiration.

  • @stevewood4766
    @stevewood4766 4 месяца назад +1

    Would love to have a study stick where there were eyes on one edge, nose, and mouth on still another, all showing emotion, and corresponding to each other. Sure appreciate the time you take to video document your work. Love the idea of a study stick and need to develop some. Thanks for sharing!

    Van, Thanks for all your wealth of knowledge and carving skills for us newbies. What a great give-a-way. I would like any style study stick for sure but maybe one on noses progressing down to adding a mouth/mustache. Thanks again for your informative tutorials.

  • @user-kc7vd6fq1u
    @user-kc7vd6fq1u 4 месяца назад

    Love your vids. I recently took up carving and struggle with the eyes on larger pieces vs the little 2 inch caricatures. I'd appreciate an open eye. Looking forward to more vids keep up the beautiful work and thanks for sharing your skills and time!

    I just roughed out the hillbilly letter opener and the bear letter opener! I’m so excited to try those. I often watch your Santa face carvings so I see how to do the mouth and checks under the eyes. I would like a study stick with cheeks and ears. ❤ keep carving !

  • @joebtemp

    Hi, Am new to carving. Would love a study stick. Visual aids are so much more helpful than a one time demonstration from a club member.Thanks for your videos and shorts. If I am the lucky winner, a side that has Mouths\Lips (some with teeth), would be great. Thanks for all you do for all us beginners.

    Hi, I've been carving caricatures just under 2 years now and I'm a huge fan loving the way you explain every detail on each video. If I was lucky enough to win your study stick I would like more about mouths, hairy and non hairy and to show different expressions. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos 👍👋

  • @arthurmabeejr8752
    @arthurmabeejr8752 4 месяца назад

    I would have to agree with many, eyes are much more challenging for me. I've been wood carving for close to 8 years and, I've picked up alot from your techniques. I do better with wildlife: I made a White Dove for my wife, she could not beleive it, I used a hard grain mahogany wood, boy talk about a job and a half. I'm currently working on a Robin and, my main project: a Grizzley Bear, I decided to use a harder grain wood. I use basswood but, my bigger projects are with harder grain wood as it does not break or splinter as much as basswood.

    I recently found your videos and really like them. I retired in 2012 and began carving. I have a problem with the eyes and the side of the nose going up to the eyes. I think that by studying the eyes would be most helpful. Thank you for the offer. My relatives enjoy the carvings that I give them.

    I am fairly new to carving,and have tried several of your roughouts. I have enjoyed doing the Santa with blanket. Introduced my bro in law to your carvings and he has carved multiples. He has carved many yrs and learned a few tips from you. Leaving a blank side is such a good idea to address a challenge area for a carver! Mine is eyes and checks, wrinkles.

    @chrisstewart1863 4 месяца назад

    What a very generous gesture Van. If I was chosen I would choose the ear. I feel I have sort of mastered the eye after watching your videos over and over I do find your method easy to follow.
    Do you send your Basswood to Australia? We struggle to get it here.

    Have been watching your RUclips videos for a while now and really enjoy them. I have emailed you with questions and you always answer. I'm retired and have renewed my interest in carving. You have certainly helped with that.
    If you would, please enter me for the Study Stick. I think I would like the blank side to be noses if I am chosen. At any rate, thank you for all your help. It's obvious of your love for carving and wanting to share with your knowledge.

    @merlinswartzentruber3481 4 месяца назад

    Good morning, I have a question first about finishing. If you're doing something with a lot of white, for instance a snowman or a Santa with a big beard, do you still use your finishing recipe? Relatively new carver but I'm really enjoying it. I would want a stick of facial expressions, esp of eyes and mouths. Thanks for all you do to teach the rest of us how to get better. Kind of like golf, I think; you can get better and maybe even expert but there's always room to keep improving! Love it.

    I've hit like on every one of your videos as they always are helpful .
    I'm already subscribed. .....
    I've seen your stick but guilty of not doing one my but know it's great advice and certainly I planning on doing eyes as they are some thing I'm afraid to destroy my character up after getting it " close enough:", perhaps I should try to finish stronger.
    I'm thinking happy eyes that look like they can blink😅
