How to Carve a Creepy Dead Head Wood Carving Tutorial Part 1

Hey folks! Welcome to Part 1 of my Dead Head carving series. Follow along as I transform a simple block of wood into a creepy character. This project is geared toward intermediate-level carvers, but everyone is welcome to join in, learn, and make it their own. In Part 1, we’ll establish the carving’s main shape, features, and character before completing it in Part 2. Grab your knives and some wood, and carve along! If you enjoy the video, subscribe so you don’t miss Part 2 or more carving tutorials. I’d love to hear how your carving is coming along, so leave a comment with your progress, questions, or tips. You can also share the video with fellow carvers who might enjoy joining in.
