This is a full ASMR-style carving process — you’ll hear the crisp scritch of every cut, the gentle snap of shavings peeling away, and somewhere in the distance… the faint sound of a wizard questioning why his beard has more volume than his spellbook collection.

I wash a LOT of my carvings because they get dirty for one reason or another. When you do, it can really heal a carving for a new carver, the wood swells a little, closing up superfluous cuts, and making the carving look buttery smooth. Depending on the style or carving, you may lose some detail, so if I did a fancy caricature bust thay was 8 inches tall, i'm not washing it. but a little thing under 4 inche? I was nearly all of them. #woodcarving #whittling #woodart #folkart #woodcraft | Johnny

As a woodcarver it doesn't get much more fun than this. 5 different teachers, five days of carving, new friends, fun memories, and a whole lot of lessons learned. Get outside your comfort zone and try something like this sometime, what a blast!! #woodcarving #whittling #caricature #caricaturecarving #woodart | Johnny Layton

Another of my vintage woodcarving study sticks! This one is Harlod Enlow's "Hairball" 😆 🤣 Showing off a lot of variation for different types of hair one can carve, making it easier to figure out how to replicate. These are usually made as a resin casting of the original basswood wood carving that an artist would do, and then used as a teaching tool in a seminar or class on Woodcarving. a great study guide to take home so you can refine your own work, by referencing how a master at the craft ac

Reprofiled a Rosecraft Clinch River Swayback into a proper whittling knife. The goal was to get a modified wharncliffe profile with a convex grind, not a true flat grind. I just prefer a convex grind. Its a D2 steel so it was a chore to do, but its absolutely a unit of a whittler now. #edc #whittling #woodcarving #knives #edcgear | Johnny Layton

ASMR Carving Knife Unboxing. The sheer excitement of new knife day is palpable. I've been exited to try this new offering from Badger State Blades for a bit. I think its like the happy medium between roughout and detail. Combining both worlds in a nice form factor. gonna spend a week or so putting it through its paces, but i'm excited!! 😀 #woodcarving #whittling #woodart #folkart #woodcarver #woodcarversofinstagram #handcarved #handcrafted #carvingtools #knives | Johnny Layton

After the Dwarf I carved yesterday, i fell into a Dwarf sized hole and carved 2 more. 😆 🤣 😆 All 3 are 4inches tall, from 2x2 blocks of basswood. Finished with Black Walnut Danish oil, and paste finishing wax buffed to a sheen. #woodcarving #whittling #woodart #fantasy #fantasyart #lotr #dnd #folkart | Johnny Layton
