How did you keep the wood on the board. I'm a carver and I've only ever used rubberized cloth and that isn't always effective. Great post by the way. I'll keep watching for your new projects. Thanks. Joe
I think I would like to try this with wax or soap the first few times just to get in practice quicker. That and I could always melt the wax back down to try again...and again (I'm going to need it) LOL. Thanks for the great video, you've got TALENT.
Ryan, carving in wax or soap is okay for studying the shape butt most of the challenge is dealing with the direction of grain, making the cuts with the grain so as not to break it. I use sweet potatoes (yams) for the cub scouts to practice carving, using a paring knife. It is less messy and they can eat the chips.
how did you cut the wood initially to be into that block? I would like to attempt this project, but am having a hard time getting the wood to be that shape to start with. Great video
Sorry I missed your questions before. The wood is basswood grown in northern Wisconsin. In Europe, it is known as Linden and in the UK it is known as Limewood.
+Hamsteranimater , Yes this Rose is in basswood. Basswood is also known and Linden or Limewood, which is considered as an easy carving wood because it is soft and fine grain which holds detail well.
This is a good idea. I will put it on my schedule. It will fit in with my more recent videos of practicing different techniques with the chisels. thank you.
It isn't often that I paint my woodcarvings, because I like the beauty of the wood to show, which is why I like using a clear natural sealer. If I was going to paint it, I think I would choose to use colored pencil (with water to even it) with a clear sealer over the top. Colored pencil can be applied thin enough to let the wood-grain show through. I have CZcams videos demonstrating my color pencil painting technique. czcams.com/video/j3YBjaLEpgs/video.html
CLUNGE - DOCTOR Jesus christ calm down o.O not saying the video was bad, just i'm never going to be doing anything like this, so it was a bit of a waste of time for me personally. A mind works in strange ways at 5 am in the morning
+RANDOLPH ROBERTS , There is no sound on this video. My other videos have sound, but I thought this video didn't need it. I should have added music so there would be some sound, but unless I created the music myself, I was unsure of copyrights.

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous! You are very talented!

All damn it, I knew I should've picked the legendary moonlight sculpture class

Same question that was asked 2 years ago, what kind of tree, what wood is being used?

Nice thanks i will take some to practice ,Tiliaceae grow near my village .Wood is getting too expensive
What type of wood are you carving? I love the video. Great job.
+Ernie Cuello It is Basswood, also known as Lindin or Lime Wood.

Tarzan The wood block has a peg and he used a vise/clamp.
آفرین عالی بود🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have just begun to carve. What type of wood is this? I need a soft but pretty wood, my hands are sore LOL I love your rose!!!

jelutong is great for carving.

Basswood is what I used. However, any good carving wood can be used.

Jack Water you like jelly?
Apprentice carpenter here and curious what sorcerous piece of wood is that ? Looks more like clay. Awesome anyhow.
Most likely bass wood as it is the second best wood to carve, butternut is the best but hard to get

Where is the sound?

Thanks. Have you ever read John Hagensick's book on the rose?
🤔
I gotta be honest... It's too tall and too fat. Your pry more than carve. It looks like a deformed pinecone
OMG !!!!!! what an ugly job
