I love this easy carving stuff. I’d like to see you carve a lighthouse.

[@RustyGunn7]

He's made a lighthouse video recently. It's a good one.

[@crkbrnhrt5432]

[@Larry-325]

Awesome Doug. So simple but cool. Thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@billyaxley3014]

Interesting tutorial, Doug, and I like doing the simple projects...satisfying and fun. Thanks.

[@ernielazdins1348]

Another easy one for me to do. Thank you Gough. I got some Howards feed and wax, found it a bit hard to shake and mix. I put 2 glass marbles in the bottle and it mixes it real well. Give it a try. Regards Ernie from Australia

[@richardschrimsher5530]

Love it! 👍🏻

[@77Matt]

Great Bob Ross vibe goin' here.

[@joshdavenport5787]

Very cool! It would be fun to make a coffee cup the same way with a square worm as the handle

[@matesematese1572]

Doug wow more great ideas I always has my razor sharp barlow 2 blade pocket knife ready to go I love these mini projects keep em coming kind regards to you and your wife greetings from uk essex a coat of vegetable cooking oil should bring out grain too👍🇬🇧🐾🦊🍀

[@pauljames7727]

Fantastic as always Doug, you will have to do a bunch of square bananas lols.

[@stillwater62]

I always look forward to that notification alert that Doug Linker has just posted a video. Doug, you have all of the other carvers beat, at least in my mind you do. Tremendous artistic talent, great teacher, great carver, and just a joy to watch. Thank you for going to the trouble of making these great tutorial videos. One more thing, you could take a small #11 sweep about 2 or 3 mm and make some faint teeth mark lines, that are always present in apples bitten into.

[@crunchyrollser]

Doug I haven't even had time to make the books yet but I'm excited to make apples too thank you

[@robynsmith4352]

I love this!!! Thank you for the simple carving videos…. I’m definitely making these apples. 🍎 🍏 🤗

[@midnight4540]

Really cool idea, thanks!

[@karledman4625]

Nice little project. You could add a worm for effect in the bit area.

[@MichelleOhio]

Fun! I've made square-ish pumpkins.

[@ladyliberty417]

Love the idea of putting them in a basket, so cute!! Thanks Doug for this simple project, it hits the spot 🍎❗️ Apple picking is coming!

[@douglastobor7718]

Squapples!😁👍😁

[@yoshi425]

[@MrSteamDragon]

Geez Doug, what with the gnomes, lighthouses, Easter Island heads, books and now apples …. I need to buy more Basswood !!🤣… what ever next mate…. keep ‘em coming 👍🏻

[@gonetroutfishing]

Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!

[@BraxxJuventa]

Awesome project Doug! Thank you for sharing this with us. 👍😁

[@tomevans4402]

Love it I will do a bunch of these. I think even I can paint them. 😂

[@bssn9469]

Reminds me of The Somerset Whittler's angry apple video!

[@riccojames1]

This is another inspirational vid Doug. Super idea for left over pieces that were cut off's etc. Loved the latest vid with Aled - :D ;) Just watched it a few mins ago.

[@wickdghost3639]

You are so awesome at finding these quick, simple, satisfying whittles. 👍 Keep it up brother.

[@keithpassant5063]

Amazed st your creativity sir. This is for sure a project I'm going to try. Keep up the content sir. Thanks

[@glg3945]

Love these! So cute! You could put essential oils on them in a cluster in a bowl for great fall spices aroma! Thank you! Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 😃 All the best.

[@jimdomanski2062]

Doug, I used a real stem from a real apple instead of doweling. (I didn't have any doweling handy). Coated it with wood glue to keep it firm, let it dry and then glued it into the apple.

[@marca5883]

Shame it's not a square pear 🍐😂🤣😂 great video Doug 💚🇬🇧🌱

[@roxannemoore5789]

Loved your groot , how about a baby Yoda and the Mandalorian

[@davidparkyn4716]

Really cool idea , I have done a few of the books from the last video and will certainly be doing some of these too , really liking this video content keep them coming!

[@dell565758]

great Doug - has me thinking - perhaps a small oblong of green material pushed into the hole with the stem (leaves?). Whole loads of other fruit and veg in a cubist style? As ever, great tutorial. Christmas tree decorations possibly.

[@FakeNews_Ignored]

Hi Doug, your creative videos are very enjoyable. Have you ever carved a boat? Would love to see how it's done. 😯

[@rayjrdibenedetto867]

Good morning Doug. I am just a beginner but tried because I had some stuff going on and watching and trying took my mind off of things! Thank you for that! I have only made a few but would like to make the apple for my oldest daughter as she is a teacher and thought it would be cool is all-I do not own a gouge though-is there another way I can do this without buying a tool for guessing around$30? Let me know please. Thank you again for helping me take my mind off of things as I try to make something! Have a good day

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks Doug, this is a fun project! Do you still like using the antiquing finish, but I guess that might look better if using solid paint. I like the stained look you get with these apples and the finish you used does give the apple a yellowish hue like a real apple. Thanks for putting this together.

[@Rigus208]

Great Doug 👍 fun project. So what’s next The worm ?🐛

[@edt47150]

Nice video, how would you add a worm coming out of it?

[@Derginator]

One could use a pink dowel for a worm in a “bite”

[@SewWhittle]

I would love to learn how to carve that first Apple you showed that was entirely chewed. 😮. Also, I started carving these and when I get to the point of adding the “chew”marks, it just cuts the wood away with the grain, instead of leaving “bite” marks. Any suggestions?

[@richgriggs8626]

I'd like to see a video on carving a little bigfoot!

[@dougLinker]

I have a monster/Bigfoot video

[@WIZ-IN-PA]

Hey Doug, do you have any suggestions for larger carving tools that are quality but maybe not so pricey? I am looking to carve larger things but only have Helvie knives, and Pfeil palm gouges/V-tools. I'd like to get some larger gouges/V-tools that you need a mallet to use. Any suggestions without breaking the bank? I know you get what you pay for but just wanted to ask what you thought. Thanks Doug!

[@TheOutdoorsman]

I really love these simple carve videos! I can't wait to start carving again(in the process of moving and everything is packed up). Are you going to put out anymore camping/canoeing videos this year?

[@davelevee7385]

If that apple falls off the tree it won’t hurt 😂

[@GINZO4849]

Love it. Just a curious question from a brand new carver. When carving faces, do you ever start with the corner of a block being the tip of the nose?

[@gabemartinez9015]

That's a great way to start faces. You can use the corner to start the nose for sure. Look up Doug's "5 minute wizard" to see a basic way of doing faces

Can you make a planners Mr. peanut. Pinocchio

[@pittsbroshomeschoolfun8955]

Where is the best place to get good larger pieces of wood. I bought a 2 inch wide board to cut up and it just seems so difficult to cut compared to 1 inch blocks already cut that I bought through Beavercraft

[@dougLinker]

Moore roughouts and basswood have lots to choose from and it’s good stuff

[@pittsbroshomeschoolfun8955]

Thanks Doug. A recommendation from you is enough for me!

[@jaserEST]

​@@dougLinker​ Hei, could you please tell with Pfeil #9 gouge it is exactly.(9/...) I'm going to order it e-shop and cannot see with one will be more suitable.

[@jimmyrutledge4531]

Hello What brand name gouge are you using? Is a number 9 the same in every brand? TIA!

[@dougLinker]

Pfeil is what I have ,9’S are all close although never exact you wouldn’t know the difference

[@jimmyrutledge4531]

Thank you sir!

[@jimmyrutledge4531]

Sorry to keep bothering you, what size #9 did you use for this project?

[@jimmyrutledge4531]

Is 1/2” or larger?

[@banjax66]

Doug.. October is Conker season here in the UK.. So can you make me a Conker out of wood, Then I might be able to take part and win any Conker fights I get in to? I would also love to win the UK Conker Championship, but your wooden conker might be classed as cheating. :( Thanks .. Ian.

[@AbsoluteAbsurd]

ah.. can you make edible versions??

[@BobBlarneystone]

Where's the half-worm?

[@christinedavidson7189]

Another wonderful carving....... another one to add to the to do list which is growing and growing mainly because I keep going back and doing some of my favourites. Love them all...... thanks again for sharing. 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
