Carve Grumpy Gus

In this video, I carve a grumpy old man figure from wood using simple carving techniques and a detail knife. From rough shaping to adding personality lines, wrinkles, and that classic “Get off my lawn!” expression, I’ll walk you through the entire process step by step. This project is great for beginner and intermediate wood carvers who want to practice facial features, character carving, and adding attitude to their carvings. Credit for the eye technique used in this video goes to Rich Weatherbee . He’s an incredible carver and teacher. If you ever get the chance to take a class from him don’t hesitate. 🪵 What you’ll see in this video:• Roughing out the basic shape• Carving the face and exaggerated features• Adding folds, wrinkles, and expression• Shaping the body and stance• Knife techniques for texture and detail• Final cleanup and finishing tips Whether you’re carving along or just watching for inspiration, this little old man is packed with character and a lot of fun to make. 👍 If you enjoyed the video, hit LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for more wood carving projects, tutorials, and carving ideas.
