In this video, I carve the iconic Sorting Hat from Harry Potter out of a solid piece of oak wood!

I used hand carving chisels along with power tools to detail the expressions and textures, finishing the hat with a 2-component wood oil to bring out the natural oak grain and give it that aged, magical look.

Which Hogwarts house do you think it belongs to? Let me know in the comments below! 🧙‍♂️✨

Tools & Materials Used:

Wood: Solid Oak

Tools: Hand carving chisels, power carving tools / rotary tools

Finish: 2-component wood oil
