Woodcarving How To : Carve a Native in a Blanket from a Block of Wood -Full Start to Finish Tutorial

[@susansilva2097]

I'm 72 yrs old and my whole life I wanted to carve, just love wood and now I'm waiting for my tools to arrive from Amazon. Your videos inspired me , thank you so much.

[@ryanowen1338]

My grandfather was a carver his whole life, I have shelves filled with his characters. He passed away before I was old enough to learn from him. I’m on my 4th carving now thanks to your videos. Thanks for helping me achieve this goal I’ve had my whole life. Thanks again!

[@michelelocklear442]

Im so sorry about your grandpa but I love your insperation

[@MarkFugel]

i spent the hours before the super bowl carving this one along with the Dougman...i really thought i could not do this...i followed carefully...and kept at it...got it all roughed out...after hours...im up to the hair and face only...i didnt want to rush it...and mess it up...i really see the figure revealing itself now...i think im going to break KZbin from "rewinding" Doug's awesome video so many times. I just want this one to come out good. I will continue tonight...can't wait till "quiting time" from work...which i now call "carving time"! Can NOT thank Doug enough for his patient and clear teaching...i hope he realizes how much we luv 'em for who he is and what he does for us!

[@anitarussum4590]

Doug, you’re right about people watching your tutorials even though we don’t whittle. I like them as much as bushcraft and fishing. I don’t do those either. And after I watch I can run them again whenever I want to listen; while I’m working. You have such a relaxing soothing voice. And who cares if they run long❄️thanks Doug

[@janiceanderson7262]

This one is special. For my great Doctor that has brought me through he'll and high-water for ten years and I'm still alive. Almost impossible. Doug, you are the best.

[@rayduval7158]

I have to say thank you Dug after watching your videos I am hooked on whittling I have about 30 carvings under my belt and just put a big order in for some more bass wood. I always considered my self non artistic but this has truly changed me. Thanks again!

[@my1kwords]

I just love your carving videos. You say you aren't a teacher but I would disagree. I've learned so much watching you work. Your camera angles are great, your explanations clear and you create some awesome carvings. Thanks so much for these videos.

[@windinthemeadows8122]

I really enjoy your camping and canoeing videos, and the carving and coffee, but I love your tutorial videos. I know I'm not the first to say this, but you're the Bob Ross of carving. I could watch it all day. Thanks for the great mix of content. Stay warm up there this winter!

[@ljlatorre1943]

I've already told you this before, the camera position is amazing it's so easy to follow along. Thank you so much for sharing your life and little people with us.

[@MarkFugel]

Doug...what i like about your projects is that they don't require a bandsaw to rough out...you start from a block of wood...just like many of us have to...THANK YOU! Tutorials like this are just SUPER for us newbies!

[@tobiasball5225]

Few things are more peaceful and inspirational than these carving videos. I do my best to replicate and in spite of shortcomings, love every minute of it.

[@stantilton2191]

Must be the father and the young buck. They look like fun and I'll have to try one. Thanks Doug!

[@strangerbetter637]

You are the Bob Ross of wood carvings. Love the channel

[@mamabearssheshedtracykeato6941]

Doug this is such an awesome tutorial. Showing step-by-step is an amazing way to learn this craft. Thank you so very much for sharing. Brilliant tutorial.

[@yasardulum8437]

Thanks Doug, Hello from Turkey. like your videos and watching them carefully. Your art is so nice.

[@grahamfearnley4207]

I just want you to know that i was just about to give up carving until i watched your videos. You are a real inspiration and reminded me to have fun Thanks I'm back at it.

[@alicecowan3499]

I LOVE your Indian and your sense of humor Doug! Love your videos 👍🏼😉💜

[@jm4672]

A man of his word Doug you're awesome. Can you teach the rest of these bushcrafters. How to fish number one you're awesome fisherman. Just kidding y'all are all right love you videos keep it up peace out

[@dukepalk6324]

It's always great to watch people branch out and grow, keep up your work for the church grounds the blessings are flowing. ☆Aloha Doug.

[@larrym884]

Another great video. After making a dozen or so of your little guys and a bear, it will be fun to try this one. You started me on a really enjoyable pastime. Thanks Doug

[@leslieharper5897]

I have just started carving, brilliant tutorials so clear & easy to follow great job! Thanks Doug.

[@lindacasale2922]

I loved this video! Can’t wait to watch it again, this time with wood and knife in hand.

[@abefrohman1759]

These carving videos are always relaxing and enjoyable.

[@oldcodger3509]

Thanks again Doug for such a great step-by-step video!!! As usual, I always enjoy your videos, whether bushcrafting or carving! I agree with you, carving these little guys is sooo much fun with a quick reward that anyone can do and enjoy. Thanks again for sharing all your time, effort and expertise! Safe and fun bushcrafting and carving to you and yours ALWAYS!

[@cyanson71]

Love it, been waiting for another carving and coffee video, but this will do just fine. Thanks Doug.

[@dalejones4186]

Thanks Doug. Truly enjoyed this video also. I am a beginner and have carved a lot of your carving videos and have been very successful. I would truly like to see a teaching video on the woodsman also. Your a great teacher. Easy to understand. Thanks again.

[@asterixgaul7076]

Doug, you are a great artist and a teacher. Love it. Ah! And the sound the knife makes when you carve!!

[@tomsweeney3986]

Hey Doug, just wanted to message you to say thank you for inspiring me to take up whittling. It had helped me focus whilst the world has gone mad. Today I followed you tutorial for carving a native indian. I surprised myself how well it turned out.. Thanks again. From Tom. Yorkshire, UK..

[@eleanorbest7495]

Doug, I love to watch you make your little people. Because of you and your wonderful teaching I have started making some also. My frustration is my knives aren't sharpe enough. I started with Basswood but it is too hard, then I have been using balsa wood which tends to squish. I have bought a knife and the sharpening tools but now have to learn to sharpen my knife. You make it look so easy to cut pieces off. I hope to one day to be able to make some beautiful carvings like you make. I know it will take practice, practice, practice. Thank you again for your wonderful teaching videos. Ellie

[@herbertrettke2229]

Doug, you are on the right path, thank you for sharing and teaching others. Herb

[@arvindkerai5572]

just watched that life off the shelf video was really cool and cute little story to go with it :) thanks again Doug sir

[@robcarr1899]

Beautiful carving. fantastic little fella. when he was at the rough shape stage he could easily have been a KING TUT. possibly a little fella for a future video?? stay safe Doug.

[@bricep9010]

Really liked this carving. And super job with the camera. But it sure made we want a stout cup of coffee! Thanks!

[@Danny_Joiner]

You knocked it out of the park again! Really great tutorial. Camera angles, close-ups and your explanations throughout are spot on.

[@peterharman8874]

A great tutorial, well explained on every angle,spot on.

[@TylerAFE]

Doug! You’re the man! I love your videos. The sound that happens when you’re chip carving compared to mine is insane considering same wood and fairly similar knives. Keep up the tutorials!

[@southernwanderer7912]

Nice tutorial. I really enjoyed the video of the male and female meeting at the native camp.

[@rickgreen9936]

carving & coffee...or ginger ale, still a good carving and now the other native folks have a new friend, all living in Douglasville

[@donpatterson136]

Thanks for another great teaching video and all the time you're taking to show the steps. Your pacing is perfect and we see just enough to follow along so we can carve it ourselves.

[@dragonUSNr]

Always enjoy your videos and your carvings. Giving me the bug to get out the knives and carve again

[@TheRomarti]

Thank you fore grate inspiration. I love all your characters,. They are great and easy to do. Greatings from Norway

[@dianepickup1043]

Hi Doug after trying for some time to carve a figure I at last got it. The basic cuts and so on. You r so right . So good on the stress levels and now I feel I have a new hobby. Thank you your videos r superb. Keep up the good work barry

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

That's cool! As you were painting, I was thinking that an Elder Native would look great. Give him the silver hair of wisdom... Another idea that I was thinking of was to do a Viking Clan. Love watching the carving as well as the trip videos. Keep up the great work!

[@alaskankare]

love the longer videos! and the old camera is just fine. love the up close view. lol

[@jenford7078]

I think you are just amazing! A carver friend once told me that the figure develops according to the spirit in the wood... Looks like that happened here :)

[@cowhand1346]

Starting to get a little cooler here in the northwest, time to break out the old knife and start carving with you again. I definitely enjoy watching your videos and trying to carve with you.

[@Sebastian-S]

The camera angle is perfect. Thanks for uploading.

[@jamesdevinaspre3182]

Great video Doug. the more I watch the I learn. Thank You.

[@daddys69now]

Best tutorial video you have done yet Doug, it was nice going from section to section and mostly finishing it instead of jumping all over, made it much easier to follow along and gave a better idea of what the finished section was to look like, I really enjoy carving along with you in the video, I'm pretty new at this, only a couple months but you help a lot

[@bearfootsteve6104]

Super cool! I really enjoy your video and really like your native Indian. Keep posting Doug. 👍

[@bobbyslack8311]

My next project! Thanks Doug! I really like how you have it in 1 video.

[@litahsr.8226]

Those are so cool and the camera close up is the best one yet please use it just like this one on the future carving also the bears are the best too can u make new bears too? love all of them but can only see one love to see all the bear heart thanks

[@1966magicmike]

Thanks Doug for another great video! I really like this little Native guy. I always learn so much from your videos.
