This was a great video thanks! I’m coming home from deployment soon and my son says that he’s interested in wood carving. That means I better get interested too!

Thank you! I am young and I am some beginner who wants to carve wood. My dad said I can watch a few online videos before I jump into wood carving. I am so new.. Tomorrow, I may start practicing! ❤❤❤

The V Gouge #41 at 6mm and 60 degree angle is a Henry Taylor brand from UK priced at GBP 30.00 if anyone wants to know. Bob never shared that in the video but I dug it out based on the label design. Took me 20 mins to find out. It would have been useful to know and not waste 20 mins of my life digging it out. Share the brand names, Bill! Saves time.
All the rest are Swiss made Pfeil brand carving tools - gouges, fishtails, and sweeps.
Instructive video, esp on details of hold and movement. Thanks Bill!

I came here from Vietnam. We are also a wood sculptor, noticed many similarities. But the recognition of his instrument is very beautiful and very sharp. Thanks for the channel that got the clip.
