@MrLeonard55 I'll do that. My vids haven't got'n many views lately so I haven't had much desire to make any. But if there is demand at all I will post what I got cooking! Thanks ~Andre
Magnificent ! Gotta love that level of detail. Thats where I fall down... if I dont get my work done quickly I lose interest and it never gets finished!
@Raftsmanship I know what you mean there. I'm always switching between projects and forgetting to finish... if you saw my goose painting video you would notice the water isn't finished... and still isn't because it's hard and intimidating + it takes long and I want to move on to new stuff. Thanks for the post your work is great. ~TheDecoyDude
@osprey02 thanks a ton! i need to post what i'm doing right now. check back in a few weeks or days and i'll have a vid with more carvings.~TheDecoyDude
When I carve wood it's either Canadian Oak or Canadain Pine. Oak is far better and holds each chisel stroke and sands better but it's hard work and dulls the chisels faster. Pine is easier, sands quicker but doesn't hold the detail quite so well. I haven't really done any wood burning. Sounds like fun.
@beetstreet4 Wow oak! Now that must be some work! I know you can use about anything to carve though... if you find it hard to get in small spaces chisels are ok but a rotary-tool is something to think about. It is kinda expensive ($300 US or so) but worth it if you want to get even more detail and ease. traditional tools can do the same thing it just takes longer and more skill...
@beetstreet4 Louisiana tupelo! it holds great detail and burns nicely. the harder the wood the better for wood burning and the softer wood is good for carving yet it is hard to burn soft wood... meaning you need a area in between... made sense? it all makes a difference
Great Work man.
