Loooove it. Turned out so amazing. Just starting on woodcarving myself. Watching this before I go to sleep is so relaxing 💕 thank you

[jackbutler]

I've watched you with Doug Linker doing the coffee show together. I've been watching him for a long time. He's why I got started. But I've watched others too. But I like what you have done on wood carvings.

You’re a true artist, therefore you have different approaches that still results in amazing work. I am a beginner and have been watching a lot of videos, for some reason watching you and especially this has helped me understand the cutting process better. Your a great teacher Alex, thanks for all your time, amazing!

I followed along to this and did my first face. It's in a pine branch. I like it. Thanks!

Really nice. Appreciate your enthusiasm to simplicity and teaching us beginners especially after seeing some of your other carvings. You are very talented and sure hope you continue this content

Great fun Alec, folks can take a step back from today's busy world and simply enjoy this. Inspiration is all around us. Thank you for sharing.

Brilliant 👍
The timing of this video is awesome, I’ve just started carving wood spirits on storm damaged branches . I’ve done two but my next will be even better after following your tips 👍
Much thanks, very helpful.

Hi, your a grate carver, I have a lot of hickory and oak and its like carving a rock.

[williamnicklaus]

Well done - I will give it a try. I don't have 20 years left to get to your level, but you inspired me to carve again - Thank you

Loved this carving episode today! Just love hearing the knife carve the wood. ❤. So creative! Keep this type of carving coming! Lots of us beginners out there who need some entry level stuff that’s within our skill set.

Very nice Alec! Love that willow. Looks like a pleasure to carve.

[NikkijsNWA]

Thanks Alex. I have never seen eyes carved like this. Really like it.

I carved a banjo playing hill Billy recently and didn't narrow the nose, and it LOOKED AWEFUL ... you're a fine teacher ... thanks for your commentary, but - wear a glove..

[jackbutler]

Alec, another thing I haven't seen many carvers use a sloyd knife. But I really like how you used that knife.

[midnight]

Nicely done, I actually learned a couple more things to try to see if it helps me be a little faster or easier. Thanks and take care

[ronaldricard]

Hey Alec, just getting going but this is my first carving ever lots to do still. Thanks for the tutorial.

[sarahandthewolf]

I just carved my first face along with you and this was immensely helpful. Mine looks a bit alien but that’s ok - no rush- better next time! Thank you!

[waynepreston]

Loved this one, more free flow, creating on the go, fun, fun, fun. Thanks, i carve walking sticks but I have gotten into a rut, this challenged me. Thanks again.

[TinyFitz]

Loved watching this wood-spirit carving. Thanks
