    Wow, the natural cracks gave it an aspect like it was scars, but not necessarily a warrior's battle scars, but something more like life scars, from different experiences, which made it seem like Amodius is really wise, calm and imposing and has a lot to teach us. This is amazing! Thank you for your work and your words!

    You are a credit to the artistic community, your tenacity when you're met with difficulties is absolutely legendary. Your sculptures just continue to get better and better, I didn't even know that was possible because they were already incredible. The fact that you kept the cracks, and didn't attempt to repair them resulted in a STUNNING end. The cracks are as much a part of him as the delicate detail work, good for you for seeing that inside of that log. I genuinely had tears going down my face when you started applying oil. So proud of you Jonas, and honored to watch your journey!

    You're so wholesome and inspiring, I love it. Your work is incredible (as are just the sketches!). And I love how human and honest you are, you admit to making mistakes and learning, and approach it with such a refreshing and pleasant attitude that every setback is just a chance to learn more. Personally, I wouldn't get so anxious about the filming and editing, it's refreshing to see some real working and thought processes, without it being over edited to appear 'perfect for youtube' - in my opinion anyway. I really hope you get the success you deserve.

    I just stumbled across your site today and I have to say you're one of the most gifted artists I've ever seen. I've never seen anyone leave the cracks in a piece of art like this. They always try to fill it in our cut around it or hide it some way when everyone knows that all old wood has imperfections... that's what makes them beautiful. You showcase these and make beautiful art with them. Thank you.

    You're a talented artist, Jonas, this is a think of beauty! Love the pendants as well.
    I remember having the same feeling of trepidation you've talked about (taking commissioned work and not wanting to let the client down) when I started my knife & tool sharpening business. If you're comfortable and confident in your artistic skills, just make sure you discuss everything as much as possible with the client, and give yourself plenty of time to do a good job. Don't set unrealistic deadlines for yourself until you have a feel for how long something will take.
