Nice video, even if it was posted 5 years ago.

Practice makes perfect hey. And only needs one tool really

Wow, that guy is good.

Even if he was rubbish I wouldn't say so though. Not with that mad carving tool he has

Great video. What an amazing tool, but he makes it look so easy.

Cool idea, but the way he was using his, unless you have excellent control you will probably end up modifying bits of your anatomy as well.

Impressive, but I found myself wincing too many times, even though I knew he wasn't going to slip just seeing his technique was unsettling. Lovely finished carving though. I'm guessing that wood's very green.

That pull saw he uses at the end. I've got a smaller version of one of those and they are AMAZING!! Makes me wonder how I've lasted as a carpenter without one all these years. I've retired my gent saw and dovetail saw now and rarely use my tenon saw either.

Thanks for posting that nitram55

I love this video, and over the years I have watched it many times. The tool is scary and I am not sure about the jarring effects of the pushing cuts, at the beginning of the video, on the arm. The skill is simply amazing especially the symmetry in the wings, just fantastic.
Not sure if the wood is green, just a feeling but I may be wrong

I would go with you there Sean, doesn't sound or move right to me to be green, very fine work indeed!
