Father-Son Redwood Carving: Expert Stencil Techniques & Redwood Properties

If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, you're going to love this video I came across on YouTube! The video, posted by Eric Rhoten, shows the carving of a new Bigfoot stencil. Eric and his dad are creating a stencil for one of their most popular tables, which features a Bigfoot design. The video starts off with Eric giving a brief introduction and setting up the camera. He explains that they will be carving a small Bigfoot stencil, which is almost 12 inches in diameter, on a piece of Redwood. They also have a larger stencil available for 18-inch tables. As Eric and his dad get to work, they offer some tips and tricks for carving stencils. They mention that it's good to make sure the stencil is flat against the board when spraying it, as a raised stencil can result in fuzzy lines. They also recommend using clamps or holding the stencil down with gloves to keep it in place. Eric's dad uses a profile bit to carve the stencil, starting at a depth of 3/16 of an inch. They discuss the different types of bits they use and mention that they don't typically put profile bits on sale. As they work, Eric and his dad answer questions from viewers and offer additional tips. They mention that they use a lot of Blue Pine from Home Depot or Lowe's for their projects, and that it doesn't chip as easily as cheaper pine. Overall, this video is a great resource for anyone interested in woodworking or Bigfoot. It's always exciting to see the creation process behind popular designs, and Eric and his dad offer some valuable insights and tips. Plus, who doesn't love a good Bigfoot sighting?
