linktr.ee/douglinker
with my Australian Shepherd Finnegan at my side we hiked along the north shore of Lake Erie (yes,not a sea) until we came upon a good spot to have a sit down and make a carving of the classic old salty fisherman
the wood is Basswood and i started from a 2x2.5x7" piece .Axe is a Kalthoff and the main knives were Drake and OCCTools.If you like this kind of thing please hit the subscribe button and make sure the notifications are on for more to come,thx

all that carving... and no coffee....its just has to be fake production''

[@dougLinker]

Right?!! So the scoop is..I had my Kelly kettle in my backpack as well as a new coffee and was really looking forward to it but you may see as the wind picked up so did the waves and I was running out of real estate quick and had to hurry up and get out.regardless ,on the way back I was walking along the cliffs in the water in spots 😁

[@frederickmoller]

...that's what I was thinking too, lol....ahh, a nice day at the beach, thanks Doug, now you have to carve, Sadie

[@anitarussum4590]

Last time I carved a wood spirit by following your tutorial, I cut my thumb about an inch. Cannot wait for it to heal, so I can try again. Thanks for your excellent content, I appreciate your effort you put in all your videos, Doug!

[@TheOutdoorsman]

Love it! Awesome looking carving!

[@tommydevane5098]

I have been looking for one for weeks. Thanks Doug.

[@tomwallace8971]

Enjoyed! Before 9/11 our scout troop used to have two planned campouts in Ontario. One at Point Pelee about April 17th for smelt dipping and the other at the Pinery Provincal Park in September. Your video reminded me of how beautiful Canada is and how sorry I am that we had to stop those trips because of the re-entry process of bring 70 plus kids packed into a dozen vehicles a logistical nightmare. The other trip the older boys enjoyed was the canoe trek from the scout base way above Northen Minnesota. Discovered the hard way that Portages between lakes often met carrying the canoe over a small mountain. Thanks for doing the video.

[@edk4590]

Another excellent carving Doug. AS always most impressed.

[@jcamisa50]

Beautiful spot , loved your old man nd the sea. The whole session was very relaxing. Thank you.!!

[@homeequity269]

Excellent video Doug! Thank you for uploading! Cheers

[@BraxxJuventa]

WOW!! You are a real artist Doug! Amazing craftsmanship!! 👍😁

[@ChadMorgan709]

I legitimately fell asleep at one point, the sound of water puts me at peace. Being from the east coast I'm used to hearing the water, but the novelty never wears off. Cheers.

[@jaimesoto4610]

This is what it’s all about, enjoying the moment.

[@dawnwatson4158]

Looks great! I loved the sound of the water lapping in the background. Very relaxing!

[@SuperSuzieq57]

Love the sun shining on the water.

[@Bunefoo401]

What a FANTASTIC studio you had for yourself here. I love watching you take a blank of wood and carve Old Salty into it. Beautiful job

[@ChippedBuilds]

such a relaxing video to watch. The carving came out great, I just love the little guys you end up making.

[@bobdalia5079]

Doug, sure would like to Old Fisherman see this video as a tutorial. I, like others, would get so much more out of the "how to" carving. Keep up the great videos.

[@dougLinker]

You get a mix - you want a tutorial because you carve but many don’t and just like to watch.

[@bobdalia5079]

@@dougLinker Doug, your tutorials got me back into carving after 37 year pause.. Those that "just watch" question whether they too have the ability to take up carving because you make it look so easy. As you have said many times in your videos, it's easy to change types of hats, beards, etc on your carvings. The real question is how many people took up carving because of your tutorials and your presentation style. Bottom line, your tutorials are great.... keep it up. I look forward to each one you produce. Suggestion... on one of your Wednesday live casts ask the question the number of people that just watch for the intertainment and those that actually use your tutorials to attempt to carve. That would give you the feedback you need.

[@markparks3600]

Loved it!👍👍

[@joshuahagedorn4537]

Omg. So amazing the stuff you carve man.

[@6bluestrings]

Superior! Thank you for bringing temporary tranquility to my world.

We live near the southern shore of that lake. I enjoyed carving your first version of the sea captain 👩‍✈️. The pipe was my first decorative challenge. Thanks for posting this one 👏👏😎

[@gabriellawson203]

Great job! Looks awesome love the video!

[@retiredyeti5555]

Well, I enjoyed MY coffee, while watching you carve, and relaxing to the sound of the waves on the shore.

[@rdpauley9824]

Awesome Doug. 👏

[@thizizliz]

Well that was fun & resulted in a cool piece too.

[@JoePesty]

Started watching in Porto Vecchio, Corsica, with a glass of rosé, paused because we had to catch a flight. Continued last night, near Antibes, France with a glass of whiskey but paused to play Whist with the family. Finally have a cup of coffee this morning to watch the rest. Love your videos Doug.

[@splatbabylon]

These always make me smile

Nice work Master! and thank you for make me start carving one year ago.Cheers from Turkey.

[@marthaneuhauser1019]

You are so talented, and blessed! Multiple skills, awesome! Although your buddy seemed bored! I love Mr. Salty! The sound of the waves crashing was so soothing and calming I had to fight to stay awake because I wanted to see the end result! Adorable!

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

Old Salty's been though many a storm. He's seen things you people wouldn't believe.

[@themadleaf]

Peacefull, easy feeling beside the sea. You make it look easy. 🍻👍
