How to Carve a character style happy bear head I go over how to block out and detail a happy character bear with a chainsaw I hope this video can help you
My name's Frank Downing and I really liked how you talk I do do the carvings I'm going to follow your teachings and send you some pictures of what I've created myself thank you for everything you're a master you got a god-given talent and you enjoy it
Keep on talking that's a good thing while doing the videos. I would love to see you do a full length how to video. Carving a Bear. Explaining each and every cut no matter how long it took. You are such a good artist. I believe your students in tube land . Would love it 🐻
I am an old combat artist, retired Marine but you wowed me with your happy bear carve !!!! Simple and really great expression. Love the tools you use and your techniques describing the the cuts. GySgt C. Gurley USMC Rtd Keep carving !!!!!!!
Your buddy Jordy Johnson said to stop over and check you out in a few of his videos. I'm very happy I did. I plan on starting to try chainsaw carving. I'm very familiar with safe use of a chainsaw. However I really didn't have any idea how to tackle a bear with this tool. I've carved a few with my knives, but I wasn't sure how that would translate into big logs and chainsaws. You have inspired me to give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration. I love watching your content. Have a great one, and keep em' coming!👍🏼
Thanks again Ryan I've watched this thing so many times it wish you got paid for each time. LOL I'm doing a slightly different berries heads turned and tipped but once again your video save my ass and made it easy
MOST People just have ONE chain saw on hand... 16 0r 18 inch.... Any chance of making a video using one chain saw so we can see the challenges we might come up against using a bigger saw? Thanks
Awesome as usual bud. Just doing a cub in a log from a carving bears book. Not happy with my mouth, going to try to tweek it your way a bit. Thanks again. Oh ya don't let your guard down. Stay awesome and have fun, later
Hello Ryan love what you do. Question though I see you use a lot of cedar is there any other wood you use or would recommend for a beginner and where do you get your wood? Gord
Looking forward to the upcoming vids, Ryan. Sounds great! Do you sharpen a lot or start each carve with new chain? Your cuts look smooth and effortless. I sharpen daily but don't seem to get quite as much power into the wood. Ripping downgrain is slow....
Man, I love your "how to" vids! You make it look so easy...here I am just making firewood, can't tell you how many logs I've ruined....but watching you always gives me a little bit more of a push....keep it up brother
Great mate, very inspiring except we don’t have bears in NZ so I think I’ll go to your owl video since we have the native Rufus or more pork. Struggling with my ne2 stihl170 with carving bar, vibrating loose, bar and chain coming apart. Any suggestions? We can’t buy Echo saws here.
Hi Ryan..Thanks for the invaluable teaching. I just got my first saws last week and carved 7 bears ...sold one already! What gauge bar are you using on the Echo and do you grind back the heels on the cutter? Thanks....Rebecca..from NY
Thanks man it's a beautiful bear head. I've stayed away from carving bears because my neighbor thinks everything we do is a competition. He carves bears. He's afraid Meinl show him up. I just want to do cool s*** thanks again
@@RyanCookCarvin I watched all of your programs on Viasat Explore... I'm very glad that I found you on CZcams. Now I'm trying to do carving myself, your lessons will be very useful. You have a fan in Russia now. )
@@RyanCookCarvin that's the answer I needed...I carve and build huge musky baits and do some taxidermy work so I have about a dozen air brushes. Createx paints work great..I thoroughly enjoy your videos and like your sense of humor...is your class full?

Hello Ryan love what you do. Question though I see you use a lot of cedar is there any other wood you use or would recommend for a beginner and where do you get your wood? Gord
I wore this video out right down to the part where I didn't get to see the body finished. My beer head looks good though thanks
awesome what would you like next ?
I have just started doing carving. And I love all your videos. They are helping me out lots.
Do u use dry logs or fresh cut logs
doesnt matter middle i think
@@RyanCookCarvin ok thanks keep the video coming as I love them all. Going to try the bear head next, out of some Spalted Beech
How do you make the curve without the chain biting as struggling to make a curve cut
Enjoyed the vid,
You got that style brahhhh
Good stuff Ryan
I just getting started and love your videos !
welcome
@@RyanCookCarvin where did you buy the attachment for your drill that your flapper sander attaches to ?
Nice job. Love this bear.
Great video Ryan. You make it look so easy.
That is an amazing! How much will it cost me and can I picking up? Delivery???
those bears are around 500
should the log be dried or green? I am 59 years old and your video's have inspired me to get off the couch and get started . Thanks
Doesn’t really matter
@@RyanCookCarvin Thank you for the reply
Where do you get your carving bars for your Echo chainsaws?
Love chainsaw Carver since I was a kid I don’t have an ounce of art skills in me
Now that's a big shit-eating grin! LOL!
Awsome!
Looks awesome. I just started carving myself. Where do you get the paint for the eyes?
I love your work Ryan 💪
Looking forward to the upcoming vids, Ryan. Sounds great! Do you sharpen a lot or start each carve with new chain? Your cuts look smooth and effortless. I sharpen daily but don't seem to get quite as much power into the wood. Ripping downgrain is slow....
i sharpen.. video coming soon
Thanks fro sharing Ryan. How do you put in the eyes? Do you use a a half ball steel punch or what??? Thanks. Hugo from N. Ireland.
Man, I love your "how to" vids! You make it look so easy...here I am just making firewood, can't tell you how many logs I've ruined....but watching you always gives me a little bit more of a push....keep it up brother
That is awesome!
Thanks for the motivation man keep up the great vids
You bet
Great mate, very inspiring except we don’t have bears in NZ so I think I’ll go to your owl video since we have the native Rufus or more pork. Struggling with my ne2 stihl170 with carving bar, vibrating loose, bar and chain coming apart. Any suggestions? We can’t buy Echo saws here.
there is alot of good saws out that way
Good job wood Bear
Nice job. Video
Cool wood Bear 🐻
🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻
Glad you enjoyed it

Sory, which kind of wood do you use?
Enjoy your family time we only live once.
Thank you, I will
You the man bad ASS bro
thanks bud
Great carve!!
ES UN TRABAJO MUY BONITO FELICIDADES
Muchos gracias mid amigo Mui bien
Very nice work ! What are your three wood preferences to work with ? Thanks.
cedar & redwood
thank you
You're welcome
Another great vid Ryan . What kind of paint do you use acrylic .
i actually dont kno
What two saw would you recommend just starting
Keep up the good work bro thank you
Thanks
Hi Ryan, cool looking bear. Great instructions for those new to carving. What size saw do you recommend for learning?
depends on what used for cs 501p
Brill vid il b trying that method I'm only a learner but that looks good
Did it work?
@@RyanCookCarvin havnt had chance to try it yet but definitely giving it a go
Hey Ryan awesome bear. It's the wood that you use green or seasoned 1 year 2 years? Thanks bro.... just trying to learn.
unknown how long its been down but still little green
Hi Ryan..Thanks for the invaluable teaching. I just got my first saws last week and carved 7 bears ...sold one already! What gauge bar are you using on the Echo and do you grind back the heels on the cutter? Thanks....Rebecca..from NY
Fantastic!
Like my Echo saw a CARVER
What kind of paint do you use in your airbrush??
Love the bear and am working on one now !!! Question ??? What is your opinion on relief cuts down the back of your carvings?
It's good i think its good then patch it up after
So cut a relief in the back when I first start? Then before finishing fill it ? Sorry ha. Still learning!!
Yup if that’s the road u want to go for sure ive seen that done and work well
I’d rather not cut into it at all honestly but if it actually keeps it from cracking i guess it would be worth it
How you now when you become pro carver ?
Love the vids 👍👍👍👍👍🙏
Thanks 👍
So cool!!
Thanks man it's a beautiful bear head. I've stayed away from carving bears because my neighbor thinks everything we do is a competition. He carves bears. He's afraid Meinl show him up. I just want to do cool s*** thanks again

Admirável
What kind of paint do you use in that Iwata?
i am not sure to be honest its an actual air brush paint
@@RyanCookCarvin that's the answer I needed...I carve and build huge musky baits and do some taxidermy work so I have about a dozen air brushes. Createx paints work great..I thoroughly enjoy your videos and like your sense of humor...is your class full?
