You are the best insturtor on you tube you show compasion while you are showing how to do it you go into so much detail and youmake a person want to do what you do plus teach them how to do it great job
Very good tutorial, Jordy. Down here in the deep southeast US, pine is the easiest wood to get. We have 10 to 17 different types of pines, based upon who you talk to. Very glad to see this. Thank you.
The Ponderosa down here has thicker bark, almost 2”-3” thick, more orange colored. You’re right, always good to try new wood types. Again, thanks for all you do, it’s much appreciated.🌝!
I love how you did the eyes looking side ways. I've carved eyes looking forward and well they look like 💩. So from now on, side to side or up or down. See everytime Jordy you do a video I learn. Yes I'm a sometimes once in awhile carver /beginner but now I'm retired so maybe this is the time for me to step up and strive to do better. Thanks as always. Be well my friend.
Thank you for this, you actually explained things in ways I can relate and learn. If I could have caught you earlier in my carvings, you would have saved me tons of time. Keep up the videos and love your work.
Hey Jordy, I enjoy your videos. Just started carving. I've done 6 or 7 wood spirits . Still having trouble with the nose size. Getting a little better and enjoying. Helps to get away from the world for a while. Thanks .
I just made some sunflowers with the buisket ends. I'm seeing I should have cut the wood at a slant. Was having big crack issues. Makes sense to take the core out. Good info Jordy
Maaaaan ur Skilled At This Lol i just started working with the Dremel I’m doing ok but thanks to these videos I’m learning quick!! Many thanks buddy !!! Much respect from the maritimes
Приветствую , Вас из России , Я начинающий карвенгист , делаю что то , с инструментом , а именно фрезы для бор машины проблема , . Вам огромный респект !!! Глядя на Вас приобрел кое что , работаю !
Jordy, I always thought if you deeply rounded the eyeballs that your subject would look dehydrated. Glad you showed me different, also the deep hole for the colored middle of the eye looked good! Mr Ponderosa looked veg when you finished him and I’m glad you compared it with redwood and cottonwood bark as I don’t have any access to those but pine, arborvitae a, and dead elm which isn’t much softer than oak.
You are the real “ Jedi spirit “ I am taking notes , getting ready to carve whales , sharks for selling them , but these spirits are so kool . I’ve jut ordered the carving tips . Best regards .
After watching this video, I decided to buy the bits you recommended. Followed the link and was directed to amazon US cost was £23 including shipping and tax.There was a link to buy from amazon UK cost was £31 free shipping and they would arrive same day as from US, guess where I bought them from.....Carry on ❤
Thanks Jordy. That one turned out great! I have access to aspen pine here, but I think that the ponderosa might be better to carve. Thanks for the comparison portion of the video, too. Great information. Thanks again.
I’m here in the north part of Florida so of course we have a lot of pine. I don’t know what kind it is but we had a few branches fall in the last storm so I guess I’ll try my hand carving it and see what happens. I especially like your explanation of how to do eyes on the Wood spirit. Another great job!😎
I find in hardwood the burs marked metal cutting burs leaves cleaner cuts that you have less sanding on. The aluminum cutting burs are more agreesive, take more wood at a faster pace, and leave more sanding on harder wood. I carve mostly black cherry, walnut, maple, ash, and oaks.This is just my opinion though.
Hey Jordy cool spirit . We have white pine which is pretty soft and good for hand tools . We've got some jack pine too it's a bit harder but holds detail better . Hope that date went good 😁 .
Hey Jordy. I'm watching you from Brazil and have been learning from you a great deal. I've found some thick branches of cypress, from am old tree that has been cut down. It's difficult to find bitts like cutzall here, so I work with small bitts, those used to cut aluminum and metal. So, my woodspirits are pretty small. I'm having trouble with the nose and cheeks. I always cut too deep around the entire nose. Anyway, I still have lots to learn. Thank you for the content, it helps a lot and I have fun.
Of course we're still watching! I watch all of it and will probably watch again a few times as I'm learning. Too bad I can't show u these first ones I've made! Hey, I could probably make a video of them and upload to my channel. Not making them but just showing them! Can I do that?
Hi Jordy. Thanks for your videos. Those eyes are really a fucking problem, I can't do them at all. I'm just at the beginning and I hope to improve. I've bought a million different cutters and my eyes still cost shit. You are a great guy and I look forward to every new video
The next town over from me is called Cottonwood. Lol! Bet there's some there! I have 20000 + acres of ranch and most of it is forest, so I'm surrounded by lots of trees. What kind of tree should i look for? It's mostly pine trees but there are some other types here and there. Got tons of firewood outside. Got a log splitter and stuff. There is a japanese maple next to my window (i think that's what it's called, not sure), and lotsa apple trees and crabapple trees too. And some cedar. I'm not a tree expert, so whatever trees are usually in forests of pacific northwest I guess. Although I'm north central Idaho. I don't know. We just have tons of trees.
Hi how hard is it for carving birch wood I’m in Alberta. I can’t get the right bits to carve like you. I’m hoping to go and cut dead wood in the future on crown land. Because the wood I got in a bag is very hard. I’m learning so much from you thank you for Keep teaching me it. Thank you.
I have made several wood spirits and I seem to be getting worse then better. On average, how many faces would you say one should carve to get good practice? Do you offer onsite training? We have cotton wood trees in great abundance but I have never seen any bark pieces as thick as the ony you were showing us. At best, I find 2" thick.
I'm still a preemie, don't even qualify as a beginner yet, I watch and enjoy the HELL out of your videos, watch them over and over. Thanks Jordy. @@CarvingFusion
I love watching you work and how much encouragement you give to us newbies. One question I have though, are there any lady wood spirits? I'd like to see what you think they'd look like. (Maybe lady wood spirits look just like the men, haha).
Oh, also I found out that Kutzall is in Michigan just a stone throw from where I live. I used your code to order one and it came today. Can't wait to make sawdust with it.
From a Vancouver Islander who loves your videos ,Thx Man.
Awesome thank u
I haven’t tried a wood spirit yet but watching your masterful artwork is getting me closer to trying. Thank you!
He will do that😂 you!✌🏻😎

Hi Jordy,
I've started to carve wood spirits thanks to you. Some okay others not so much. They're getting better so I'll keep practicing and watching.
Awesome good for you and thank you

Fantastic thanks Jordy. Pine is so variable. I think straight from tree is best. Mine is plantation and very open grain. Not good for power carving.
Thank u

Nice and yup the metal working bitts carve alot slower
Ok yes Gordie God's going to bless you soon
Merci Jordy bon boulot !

It freaked me out when I discovered that Balsa is a hard wood! 😆😅👍
Ponderosa Pine Brother!
Hi Jordy. Thanks for your videos. Those eyes are really a fucking problem, I can't do them at all. I'm just at the beginning and I hope to improve. I've bought a million different cutters and my eyes still cost shit. You are a great guy and I look forward to every new video
Thank u and I'm not very good at eyes as well, just remember to cut in the corners deeper
I like it. Hi Jordy.
Hi rick
Gotta love the 🔔!✌🏻😎
How do you clean the bark off before carving. Great videos I'm learning alot
Any way u can :)

I don't know. We just have tons of trees.
U would say cedar or pine,
No expert here but I like eastern white pine.

Dry birch is good wood to carve and if I was you I would try get the kutzall burrs, they sell them on amazon as well
Looks like Zack Wild, just needs his guitar 😂❤
LL (Lessons Learned!) Thanx~~~ Hey, I'm curious, did you hit this piece w/ some Satin or SG spray finish? If yes, did the grain "pop" more?
I have made several wood spirits and I seem to be getting worse then better. On average, how many faces would you say one should carve to get good practice? Do you offer onsite training? We have cotton wood trees in great abundance but I have never seen any bark pieces as thick as the ony you were showing us. At best, I find 2" thick.
Thank you Jordy🙏just curious is this the same pine from which they make pallets? As we have plenty of pallet wood available 😊. Mahendra
Possibly ya
I notice your wood dust goes under that grate do you use a vacuum underneath while you are cutting? I really enjoy your tutorials.
Yes I have videos on it in my play list, dust collectors table, thank u
Every time I get wood, I think W.W.J.D ? What would Jordy do, Thanks for another great video. Hey Jordy!
Jordy would just carve it and make it work :) hello
I'm still a preemie, don't even qualify as a beginner yet, I watch and enjoy the HELL out of your videos, watch them over and over. Thanks Jordy.

@@rogersmith5947 awesome , thank you , be safe and have fun
Como se llaman las brocas para tallar madera ? Saludos
Kutzalls or saburtooth

@@CarvingFusion a thanks jordy that's good to know and thanks again for all your helpful tips and the laughter
Do Those Cutzall Bit's Last A Longtime
Yuppp
Kullandığınız bıçak linki varmı acaba
Where do you find your cottonwood bark?
U can buy it online
Hey Jordy, should I buy a fine, coarse, or very coarse bit if I could only afford 1?
I would say the black one, extream (very course) they also sell them on amazon
@@CarvingFusion Thanks bud 👍
👌👌👌👌
I am in Florida what wood do you think would be good
Cedar? Pine?
Cypress!!
⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️
Ponderosa pine. Not Pandora pine.
Ya I like to call it pandaroa pine thanks
You talk to much. Get on without it
Thanks means alot
