Beautiful work Doug!

[@aartfranken]

The sounds just tickle my bones. I put silent carvings on while studying. It's such a great crunchy sound. I can't believe some people prefer others licking their microfone over this marvelous sound

[@6bluestrings]

Good Job! I like the sound the bark makes as it succumbs to sharp steel. Thank you.

[@starlapercle9575]

So relaxing to watch you work you magic. Great carving by the way.

[@grahamparr3933]

[@truenorthcafe5090]

Doug, I can’t thank you enough for these videos. I have carved most of your small tutorial guys. I have a box of cotton wood ready to be carved but haven’t got the confidence yet to do so. You have showed us with practice anything is possible. You are a great carver.

[@billkeogh1591]

Hi Doug. Thanks to you I love to carve. I have even forged a couple knives. Now I will set up a sweet carving station like yours. Thank you for all the videos over the years. Cheers from Vancouver island.

[@sharonlashley4392]

Wow amazing

[@truenorthcarver]

Very nice sir! Love having my coffee while listening to the sound of tools going through wood…or in this case, bark. Your finishing job is superb.

[@garynipp5415]

Love your carving. The way you have progressed is out standing. But I am still waiting for more fanbirds, PLEASE PLRASE.

[@burresscounty]

Nice, love it....

[@DTzant]

Awesome setup you have there, bro

[@niaskywalk]

Doug, I *love* your videos and your style of teaching. Thank you! And Just throwing this out here, because I love your style, I would love to see you create the Russian "santa" call Ded Moroz and his grand daughter in your little man/Santa figure series.

[@northcountrytrapper5607]

I can only dream of having this level of artistic talent!!

[@4759690]

fantastic

[@texasveteran7231]

Amazing

[@AndrewSzeto]

this is fantastic as always doug! love his little glasses haha

[@AntonioMazzolaWatercolors]

That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen my friend. You are an amazing artist!

[@stephenwhittier6439]

Another fine job, great video. Thanks again Doug. Love the gouges, I only have a standard size set.

[@tomcook7676]

I love your carving! You make it look so easy, and nice you and your wife work together. Merry Christmas!

[@2duser2]

What a great eye you have. You pick up on the little nuances that are the difference between a Santa face, an elf face, a wood spirit etc. I would be interested to see you make a carving of you wife and daughter. What does your eye pick up that makes each unique? Anyway, GREAT job. I Like the silent carvings as it allows me the luxury of just watching without the need to learn anything.
