Скачать или смотреть Why Sharp Tools Matter: A Sculptor’s Story from Sawmill to Studio

In this video, I reflect on a lesson I learned growing up around my family's sawmill: the importance of sharp, well-maintained tools. That early experience taught me how clean, precise tools not only improve the work but also keep the creative process joyful and fluid.

Today, as a sculptor, I carry that wisdom into every project. Sharp tools help me carve more smoothly, stay connected to the form, and reduce frustration, especially when working with hard or textured woods.

This video is part story, part reflection, and part encouragement for artists, woodworkers, or anyone who finds meaning in the creative process.

Welcome to my studio—I'm Kevin Doberstein, a contemporary sculptor working primarily in wood.

This channel is dedicated to the art of handmade sculpture, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern and biomorphic design. I invite you behind the scenes into my creative process—from carving and sanding to finishing each piece with care. You'll find sculptures made from maple, walnut, cherry, and Douglas fir, sometimes paired with copper or natural finishes that honor the wood's natural beauty.

Many of my works explore organic abstraction, influenced by the natural world and the great sculptors of the modern period. Whether you're a collector, fellow artist, or simply curious about the art form, I share stories, techniques, and inspirations from my journey as a sculptor based in northern Wisconsin.

If you love contemporary sculpture, fine art process videos, and authentic storytelling—you're in the right place.
