    In this video you'll learn step by step how to carve a relief portrait of your favorite dog!
    This is an abridged version of the project - in Limewood (UK), Basswood (US) - which you can see by going to our e-learning site: Woodcarving Workshops. The original is much more detailed; over an hour in length and comes with a download.
    I'm using UK Limewood here (Tila sp), which is similar to US Basswood.

    I'm not a wood carver but this was truly fascinating to watch. Even the sounds of the tools shaving the wood was hypnotic & pleasant.

    How you do sir .
    I want to thank you for this video . I just started power carving , and I've been looking for videos on , setting in your carving .
    your video has answered so many of my questions .
    Out of the 100's of videos ive watched , none slow down an take the time to explain why there doing a certain thing , and why there removing the wood .
    So thank you again for taking the time for the ones just learning .

    Watching you work on this portrait of your dog. I've convinced myself that a 2 dimensional carving to appear 3 dimensional is the way I must proceed.
    I've a lot of experience to gain first, but my two dogs are definitely on my carving list.
    Beautiful job indeed.

    Wonderful. You have given me the incentive to carve my own buddy, Zipper the Australian Shepherd.
    I have no idea why anyone would dislike (i.e. thumbs down) this video unless that's all they do is troll CZcams and make a nuisance of themselves.
    Kudos on your work and video!

    Your voice and attitude while doing this video, gives a fair amount of Bob Ross feel to it. Nice work. I needed something relaxing to watch/listen to today. Somehow I came across this video and wood carving (though I have never tried my hand at it) has always been interesting to me. So I landed here. Thanks for the relaxing video and the learning experience. Keep up the great work.

    Sir, I am glad that I watched your video. I like crafts, but have never done woodworking and maybe won't ever do it. I was curious because the carving you are holding up is beautiful. I am saying that you are able to hold the attention of someone who was not even interested in the subject. The way you explain, the tone of your voice, you don't say too much nor too little, and you show the steps of your work clearly. It is a very pleasant experience to watch how you masterfully turn that piece of wood into a work of art. Thanks for the nice experience of watching how a carving gets done.

    Chris Pye , Personally I like analyzing everything happening in a video or movie . Not just the focal point or main attraction . It was a genuine pleasure observing the time tested techniques passed down through many , many , centuries from master to apprentice . The strength of your hands , the anchoring of hand to tool , forearm to fulcrum . Never straying from that which is the absolute best way of achieving each goal . Never rethinking , A true master woodcarver . Thank you so much

      Remember that he didn’t carve that amazing dog the first time he put chisel to wood. In the years and years it has taken to build his skill set he has had epic fails. You fail, you try again, maybe you fail again another 50 times but one day you find a new technique/tool/etc and you get a result you are happy with. If you want to try woodcarving, do it!
