Miss you Doug! Hope you and your family are well.

[@dell565758]

Missing your wonderful videos Doug. I hope all is well.

[@SmokinGun55]

Hi Doug. Your videos are the reason why I got into carving and why I subscribed to your channel two years ago. Love your style and artistry. I REALLY hope to see you soon. Hope all is well. Regards from Long Island, New York.👍 ~Ron

[@lilarose3285]

Hey Doug! I hope you're doing well. Take all the time you need, but just know us novice whittlers really miss you and your carvings! ❤😸

[@glennkinder4671]

I saw that you are talking some time off thank you for all you have shared you have inspired me and many. Again thank you

[@dcfreediver]

Hello Mr Linker, where are you with your vlogs, have you disappeared from the face of the earth, or do you no longer feel like it or are you completely snowed in Canada? I miss your vlogs or have you lost your inspiration

[@Dockwatcher]

That was absolutely beautiful. Makes me want to move to Canada and have Doug as my neighbor. Doug you are truly an inspiration.

[@lorir1816]

This is awesome! I hope someday to be even slightly at your caliber of talent. I hope you are doing well. I (and I’m sure MANY others) really miss your smaller whittles videos please come back to KZbin and your followers❤. WE MISS YOU!!!!!

[@nalyga]

Prenez soins de vous! Vous nous manquez

[@jerrytoler9789]

[@jandkpratt]

Just phenomenal work. I guess there's no substitute for practice, but I'm always amazed by your "vision". That piece of wood needed to be the Santa it became. Amazing!!

[@Chipper6032]

You are a multi talented carver. Thanks.

[@TVNKeller]

[@nazarnovitsky9868]

Thank You very much for this new video ! 😊

[@ericowens6369]

Fantastic work, Doug! And the bonus of hearing the wood go through the bark as you remove pieces is wonderful. Thanks!

[@mikeshellito6621]

Merry Christmas Doug. Truely appreciate all you do to promote wood carving.

[@yobabybubba]

Purely gifted

[@truthreigns7]

Great work. Merry Christmas

[@CthulhuCoffee]

Well that's a right jolly old elf if I've ever seen one. 🎅 *Merry Christmas*

[@faithfullychrist]

Thank you Doug.Carving this size wood gives us better understanding on how the cuts all come together, especially around the eyes, which is difficult to achieve. Great detail, looks realistic. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@lauriemacquanan2141]

Thank you for the hours of fun and learning how to carve!!

[@MacJuanma479]

Oh my. What an extraordinary piece of art. Your skills are those of a true artist and artisan. Please keep sharing with us such wonderful carvings.

[@zedimmer4336]

[@suburbanhiker5975]

I'm sure most here will agree when I say, you're developing into quite the masterful artisan, sir. FANTASTIC work!

[@DaleLefflerCLC]

Not my style, I'm still a potato and carrot carver in training. Thanks for the inspiration and simple carving videos. Much admiration for all your sharings. from Tammasse, SC

[@DennisOtteson]

Love your works and your dynamic ways of sharing. I’ve been following you your videos for quite some time. They both teach and challenge. I enjoy using your vision and changing them up to make them my own. Keep it up my friend.

[@stephenkendall6108]

HOW COOL. I’ve been wading into cotton bark carving lately to ease thumb pain and give those muscles a break. Cotton wood bark is a wonderful medium. I cannot wait to take a deep dive I may try to follow along with this video as an attempt

[@tommysts1920]

Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing! Beautiful!

[@trinidadscorpion3835]

You have come a long way on your skills in carving. Very impressed!

[@Larry-325]

Doug that is awesome! Love it. Happy Holidays!

[@johnjude2685]

Hopefully, you'll get this done a little quicker and have time for your Christmas Doug Linker. You are my best teacher of carving Alex has great art talent, but he doesn't reach down to my learning level. I do think he is improving to reach my level or just hopefully my learning skills improve. Merry Christmas, and thanks for teaching me

[@danareed1656]

watching you carve is so satisfying !

[@spenceoverthefence7119]

Totally amazing. I am learning so much from you and am truly grateful that you are sharing your knowledge with us.

[@eugenewozniak7103]

As allways a wonderfull carve. Have a Merry Cristmas and a Happy New Year 2024.

[@markocahoon]

[@derekhanratty5222]

A big hello from Ireland. Wishing you well on your journey and many thanks for your teaching 😊

[@lindabrown2211]

Very nice. The fireplace and trees are a perfect touch. I always watch closely when someone is carving eyes and nose on a piece. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@jackbryant9879]

Great work and what a beautiful way to capture Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@danyoungs4061]

Happy New Year, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your channel. I heard a rumor you wanted a break from KZbin, I understand and hope you do what you enjoy.

[@oldncarvingJohn]

Absolutely brilliant. Love these style of video. ❤❤❤

[@George_roo]

I like hearing you chat while carving. I get your insight into it and it feels like I’m sitting with you. Never the less, I do enjoy seeing your work.

[@jamiebaker4129]

Fabulous, great carver, very inspirational teacher ! Thank you, Merry Christmas

[@ronmccarty7537]

I love your videos and I wondered what happened to you so I stumbled on the coffee and carving thing add found out what you were doing which is very cool and understandable I don't make the sound like a nag and I fully agree with what you are doing but it would have been cool to have a notification of what was going on because we all miss you

[@Ohpnuts]

Beautiful mountain man❤😊

[@PenguinSilence]

just as enjoyable as your other stuff...have a merry Christmas

[@DanielSmith-yu9wq]

Very Cool! Great work.

[@iandanielson5090]

Outstanding carving Doug you are a master of your craft🇬🇧 Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@rickgreen9936]

Speesh Doug, you're really getting good at this. Merry Christmas to you and your gang.

[@briandugan4847]

Enjoy how you work with tools to achieve desired outcome. Looking forward to the New Year.

[@gladiator22666]

Great carving Doug 👍 Always learn lots from your carving . Have a great Christmas and all the best for 2024 🎄🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🥃

[@ViKee010]

Beautiful work. You do make it look much easier than it actually is. Some people say their wood is hard or their tools aren’t as sharp, but we all need to realize that you could probably use a box cutter with a 2x4 and still it would be beautiful. Your hand strength and artistic eye are what makes your work beautiful. Merry Christmas Doug to you and your family. ✌🏻🤍🎄

[@asculptedlife]

Great Character Doug... Merry Christmas !
