I love watching your videos. It’s like watching someone release an actual person who was stuck in a block of wood. Really beautiful.

[peterantoinette]

Reviewing the basics is so very helpful and necessary to keep proficient. Thanks!

[brianschleinkofer]

Thanks again Alec. To get the total break down with instructions and demonstration is fantastic.

[ozoneswiftak]

great videos the top down approach makes things really easy to understand!

[EnduringTimbereraft]

Wow, what a detailed tutorial! I've always been fascinated by wood carving, and this video really breaks down the process step by step. The instructor's clear explanations and demonstrations make it seem so approachable, even for beginners. Can't wait to give this a try myself!

Thank you so much for this series. I spent most of my free time this week practicing the eyes, nose, and mouth. I've leveled up, and I just received your book today so I can learn more.

Alex, it's great to get fresh air, and outside summer is too short
I'm finding you as a teacher has improved or I've speeded up in my comprehensive skills.
I'm busy, but I'm sure this late fall, things will be better to carve. I'm removing half of the carpet in my sun room that is on the southeast side, so it gets any sun all day. I'll have a great place for carving.
Thanks for teaching and inspiration

Thanks again. I just watched the Eyes, Nose and Mouth, AND I subscribed to your channel. Thank you, and God bless you.

[CastisV]

Thanks for these, I went back and adjusted a recent carving I did to make the mouth a little better. Happy I didn't paint it yet.

[PaulCortez-ty]

I was waiting for this video...thanks for sharing your knowledge

[BrownDogOutdoors]

One of the best face carving series I've seen on the Tube. Great job!

[TheAstriapo]

This series of carvings has been excellent and most helpful. Thank You!

[mauriciogoncalves]

Just found your channel. You do amazing work. I almost can't believe human's hand can do what you do. Thank you so much for sharing.

[stephangrobler]

I was gifted a flex cut carvin jack years ago. Now discovering your channel I started a new hobby. These vids on your channel has started me to whittle. Really enjoying it!
Funny request: could you do a vid like this on whittling a skull?

[legion]

I've got no interest in doing this myself, but really enjoy learning how it's done, and appreciating your skills

[chrisorcutt]

Thank you so much for all your time helping us carvers get better. God bless you Alec.

[Ray_Steinhart]

I know you’ve been doing this a long time but damn you’re good. I’ve only been at it three years, so this is very helpful thank you.

[Vavaski-bugleb]

Yes, eyes, nose and mouth, now we can start 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[williamstemmler]

I have a question, I'm just getting started. I have a lot of air dried pine will that work for carving and should I soak it to soften it back up. I've really been enjoying your videos.
