    Thanks Ryan. I come in to watch your videos when I'm feeling blue because they always cheer me up.
    I'm new to carving. My first little bear took me 2 1/2 days and came out looking like Cornelius from Planet Of The Apes. 2nd one only took one day but it looks more like a German Shephard. A good-looking German Shepherd mind you, but still a German Shephard. When I was done with the head, I cut it off since you can't have a dog's head on a bear body but there's plenty of log left to start again tomorrow. Most fun I've had since the Rona debacle started honestly.
    You are an inspiration man.
    From now on I think I'm going to do cartoon bears until I get the hang of this. Then, no matter what kind of animal they end up looking like they might at least give someone a good smile...

    I’m a really good artist, pencil typically but I wasted a good 10 years due to my own hubris and arrogance from people telling me how good I was that I never thought I needed to learn or study art in any manner. I was wrong and I now regret it. I have recently started to carve with chainsaws and I started making my old mistakes all over again but my wife put me in check. So I started to watch carving videos and I will be honest, you my friend are talented. I can replicate what you’ve done now and with more practice I can get better. But not just anybody can do this.
    You must at least possess the engrained knowledge and natural ability of the artistic mind. I’m going to start making coffee tables and chairs and all sorts of stuff but I never would have been able to if I didn’t get a handle on my own personal ego. I don’t know if anyone else has had this issue such as myself but if you have please comment so I know I am not alone. 😇

    Love this video and have watched it at least 20 times on 1/4 speed. Although you sound funny at that speed, the carving steps are still a little too fast from 6:24 to around 7:30. I am brand new at this and have had one carving turn out pretty good. THIS video and bear are awesome! Is it possible to do this bear for that time periods worth of cutting on multiple stationary cameras at different angles in real time s we can see perspective? I have no one in my area who carves(or is holding a class) so your channel is one of my main go to for information. Even better than the book I bought. No worries if you don't want to, I will be a drooling subscriber regardless. Something like that kind of video would even be worth buying. Thanks from Missouri
