Carving a REALISTIC FACE in Under 1 Hour With Just 5 Tools - Wood Spirit Carving by Lucas Kost

In this video I challenged myself to carve a realistic wood spirit in under one hour, with only 5 tools. My goal here was to identify which aspects of carving faces that I need to improve on the most. I definitely learned a lot in this quick carve exercise!

I watched you carve the female face with flowers. Your work so amazing. I'm 73 and am collecting a few knives to give it a try. Thanks for your posts.

I’d never guessed the bark of a mature cotton wood tree would be this solid, I was wondering how well it lasts over the years. Fascinating work by the way.

Good work but sometimes you seem a little confused on what tool should be used.
