I am a new carver and your videos are very helpful to my needs.

[MrWoodworkn]

As a beginner carver taking advantage of the gifted talents on youtube, your tutorials came highly recommended by whittler0507. Gene was right that you are a very good teacher. Thank you!

How do you get the wood? If you buy it, i dont want to spend money, so what kind od wood will be best if i just walk along the road to grab a stick? How big? how small? how do u get the glove?

Nice video! I started carving when I was about 8 yrs old with a pocket knife and I learned by experience what you spoke about at the beginning of the video. Very informative! Glove, leather apron, leather thumb & finger guard good to consider for safety.
