[@randywood8658]

Like your snow man ☃️ 😊 Thanks Doug for the info I like all your videos 📹 keep up good work Thanks

[@TimberlinesWY]

Aw, he's got a whittle heart... 😅 Couldn't help it, love the tutorial!

[@tomcook7676]

Thank you, Doug! I am going to show this video to my grandson to MAYBE get his head out of that cell phone. We can only try!

[@dougLinker]

Good luck lol

[@johncrabb4053]

You have been my mentor for three years now. You teach better than any of the rest. Thanks so much Doug.

[@dhunterwetahook3995]

Thank you for the tutorial, I got a knife for Christmas and are going to start carving

[@johndagostino2451]

Doug you should do a book on your projects I buy a copy I’m sure others will follow suit be a good seller 🇮🇹🐾🦊🇬🇧💵💰

[@charlescrane3173]

KEEP ON KEEPING ON Amen

[@anitakerry3032]

Thanx you for showing us on how you do this. Trying to find bass wood in western Australia is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. 👍🙂🐶

[@JS-ui7wn]

Jouho. New full tutorial. Missed those.

[@stephenwhittier6439]

👍 thanks again Doug !

[@jimschaffer9831]

Well Done doug.😀😀 .Jim's wood shop.

[@christopherharrison6724]

I’d call that the golf ball look

[@bige5565]

Thanks Doug

[@steveharbolt935]

After watching this for the 4th time, I realized I need to sharpen my blades. Time to buy a strop.

[@colombecouture7974]

I love it. Have a great weekend Doug. From Canada.

[@SewWhittle]

Keep the beginner tutorials coming. I am a beginner. Thanks for teaching us.

[@6bluestrings]

Thank you Doug. I can and do, watch you carve everyday.

[@joyhaynes7844]

I love all your videos, you just keep on doing them the way you’ve always done them!! Your simple snowman from last year was the first carving I did. You’re a great inspiration!

[@MessickGreg]

I like the snowman good work Doug God Bless and keep on carving

[@mikecrimmins8377]

You got me started carving 'little people' with your tutorials. I look forward to more and more and more. Thanks Doug.

[@TheMagicRonin]

Thanks Doug 👍

[@mikemcguire8351]

Thanks Doug. Really liked the snowman. Going to try one with giving his heart away. ❤

[@ladyliberty417]

So enjoy watching you carve Doug, it’s therapeutic and fun, and your skills are the best, of course☃️🥰

[@paulj4228]

You're right Make it your own. Many people try to make exactly what you curve That's very difficult to do. Lot of the other sites I go to you see the same figure all the time it would be a spirit or anything like that Paul

[@purewillow]

a good looking new model, thank you for this tutorial doug, I appreciate that :)

[@halinawiecek2297]

Great job Doug, look awesome.

[@janelinley3624]

The best snowman ⛄️.. loving the less is more.. just what I taught

[@gracegene4253]

Awesome 👏🏼

[@truenorthcafe5090]

Thank you Doug. I got a shelf full of your teachings.

[@bobesselstyn461]

good instruction video Doug,thanks will give it a go

[@master_X_72]

Thanks Doug 👍. I can't draw, like at all, but when I see a finished carving I can make it my own and recreate a similar finished product and love doing it! Just a knife (added a small gouge and a V tool) like you suggested in your what do I need vid and I'm going for hours!

[@linesbylisa3557]

I love snowman ⛄️ I have to get a carving kit now… lol … I love all of your videos and your podcasts and live chats!

[@j-c-moore]

Love the tutorials Doug. . .Thanks!

[@FallGuy-sk7ww]

Thank you for this, just finished my snowman

[@elizabethwagner2853]

Loved this video Doug nice snowman, i like that you mentioned make this project your own, cant wait till the next one. By the way loved the groot nice job.

[@donnam4612]

another great video Doug. Thanks for the tutorial

[@kghia6]

Nice.

[@glg3945]

So fun! Really enjoy your channel. Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family. All the best.

[@jaygravell1144]

Thanks

[@jerrytoler9789]

Amazing!

[@notasbignow1]

Yet again Doug you’ve blowing me away I loving all your videos I will try to get bass wood here in The UK 🇬🇧 take care Doug stay safe

[@JensDenborg]

How good to see you back with small carivng projects

[@caneycreekwoodcarver]

Doug great video. Always the enjoy them. Like you said, always make them your own. Even if you make the same one over and over they will always be different, you can't always make them exactly the same.

[@PlumFedUp]

Nice!!! Your comment in the beginning, about size, was spot on. I spent a year carving nothing but the simple Santa's...42 of them, at 1x1x6. Then I went to carve something out of a 2x2x6...OMG, what a difference. That will take some getting use to. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@bobhoyer]

I loved it ...

[@ClumsyZebra4life]

Thanks for the new project, Doug! BTW, painting Groot was the best. So grateful for what you continue to teach us.

[@davidcostantino1838]

Always love your videos Doug. Nice thing about these carving is that anyone can tweak it to make it more personalized.

[@paulkemp6459]

Doug, I like the different texture you tried, it turned out looking very nice. 👍

[@whittler0507]

Way to go Doug ..your the man my friend

[@dougLinker]

Thanks Gene!

[@richardschrimsher5530]

Last year I chose your simple Santa- carved out 12 as gifts. This year will be this rustic simple snowman. I love your videos!! Please keep putting them out!👍🏻❤️

[@thomaspulvi3439]

Awesome!! 👍

[@lenhowl]

Another dandy carving from one of the awesome carvers on here, well done sir.

[@davecurda2350]

Thank you Doug for a great bass wood tutorial

[@MacJuanma479]

Thank you so much for another tutorial for us beginners. By the way, you are "guilty" of having myself engaging in this beautiful, relaxing and rewarding hobby. Thanks to you, I found in what spend my free hours now that I'm retired. Well... not that much "free hours" and not that much "retired" when you have two daughters and four grand-kids that ask for help int heir day-to-day duties, but anyway... any minute free is dedicated to learn, try, and advance in woodcarving. Thank you very much, Doug. Keep up the good work in your channel and never stop gifting us with your videos.

[@welshknight1456]

Found your channel and I love it, I finished work through Anxiety and I find your videos really relaxing. So, thank you very much for that, you are helping people more than you realise. p.s. Love the snow scenes outside your property.,

[@garymccoy2888]

I asked the wood question too soon. Moore Roughouts. I could not catch their location…I did watch😅

[@jackbutler3273]

Hey, Doug watched the whole video. I love your snowman. I take notes on where you buy your basswood . Thank you for your videos you do.

[@jwatt65]

Great to see you back with a new tutorial. I really enjoy the way you teach woodcarving these basswood caricatures. I finally got around to making a carving that is original to me...a cartoon whale for my daughter and granddaughter. Thank you for all you have taught me.

[@dougLinker]

I have a whale in the works myself -just trying to get it down to the easiest form to teach

[@marygordon3032]

Thanks Doug I just love to watch you carve out something from nothing, incredible! ✅✅✅👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

[@johnwyman5939]

Just plain Awesome!!! Cool looking snow man

[@jackdon4482]

BTW. Yes interested in you sharing more and more!

[@Aquila58]

I love how the snowman turned out. I’m looking forward to learning how to carve by watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to create these beginner videos.

[@philvissicchio19]

Yes we love your tutorials. You do them better than anyone. Love the fact your showing the evolution of your pieces. Helps mine evolve as well

[@bssn9469]

Love the tutorials! Builds confidence, thanks!

[@ViKee010]

I would think that cut to the underneath of the hat brim might be called an undercut to make a curve of the head. I don’t whittle but my grandfather did and I really want to give it a try. Thanks for the encouragement. 🤟🏼🤍

[@bustersbashers2280]

Awesome, I’m just starting out do these Whittling/Carving, so this is perfect timing. Great work, love it and love how you give us newbies different options. Thanks 🙏🏻👍👍💙

[@ld2653]

Great tutorial. Love your creativity.

[@QSOutdoors]

Always improving! I foresee a lot of snowman on instagram now!

[@dougLinker]

Hopefully all a little different lol

[@probi1001]

Another great video Doug & teaching tool. The length is perfect whatever the project. Judging by the comments we would all like more tutorials but also understand the time involved in making them so we appreciate all that you do. Thanks again.

[@makermark67]

Been working wood and building things for years but new to carving. I have to admit, I really enjoy the way you present your projects and the common sense approach you use to get things done. Really enjoy the channel and your work. Thanks for sharing. I have been bitten by the carving bug pretty hard.

[@michaelbond142]

Love the tutorials

[@georget.5919]

Thanks Doug! I started incorporating some mixed media into my whittling! It is fun! Love options you suggested in this video.

[@glenysriley1970]

thanks so much for another great video! I've been copying your carvings for a while now. I've finally done a few original carvings with varying success:) When I get discouraged, I just go back and follow one of your tutorials. You teach so well and are an inspiration. Thanks so much for this channel. I'm sure it takes much time and effort. It is much appreciated.

[@edusszfx]

That looks awesome! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Great tutorial video! We don't get to build too many snowmen down here in Georgia. But now I know how to carve one. Thanks and I always enjoy watching your videos.

[@janebock2210]

I love your videos. You make it look so simple and you explain everything so well. I can’t wait to make this snowman. Keep making these beginner videos.

[@bethflorentino3169]
