Nice! Would love some description of the process.

Me too. Looks like a rare style of carving that I'd enjoy doing, over and over.
Then, I'd know what to look for, other than pine.
We lost 18,000,000 ha pine to Mountain Pine Beetle.

That's a really well made video. Looks like time well wasted.
Broad collection of wood carving clamping devices.
Diverse gouges and crooked knives, even Mocotaugan style.

Will visit the rustic furniture shop this afernoon, I need to find the auger.
