Thank you Doug. Your videos have turned me into a carver!

[@rosegardenlake]

Oh man I was literally just looking for something to carve for my final few Christmas presents and this popped up like a dream! They are so cute!! I respect your skill and technique so much. You are a true artist. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm just starting whittling this month and your videos have been great guides to follow.

[@michaeltexa5948]

Greetings from France, thanks alot for the passion in your videos 🙂

[@dougLinker]

Thank-you!

[@daverowland3782]

I really like these new snow men, but then I like all of your carvings and the way you explain everything you do! Thank you for doing this!

[@bentbarrelfishing]

I had a rough day at work today. I came home and started watching your video. You’re the Bob Ross of wood carving, I needed to relax, one day I’ll pick up wood carving. Keep up the great work Linker!

[@robertsadler9903]

That's a great idea Doug, putting the measure on the wood to see. We can pause and get it all in one shot. Thanks!

[@johnjude2685]

Doug, the additional base is an improvement. You are my best teacher of carving. I gave my spare time to rebuilding my forge plans to build myself carving tools, knives gouge, and chisels .Not as many as you have, but hopefully, what I need. I'm carving by mid winter. I know you believe it's practice not just about knives but they have little advantages. My carving got off to a good start thanks mostly to your videos

[@KevinHampton-i7b]

Thanks Doug, appreciate all of your carving videos. Loved the snowman and the trees. God bless you and your family this new year.

Doug, Thank you so much for sharing your passion of carving. I have learned so much from watching you and practicing your carvings. You are making the crazy world a better place with your videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@edballardwd8jvv601]

Merry Christmas, thanks for all the great inspiration you have given. I love it all.

[@6bluestrings]

Thank you Doug! Wish y'all a Very Merry Christmas! And here's to a Great New Year !!!

[@beckybroussard2078]

I'm not, nor ever will be a carver, but I enjoy watching the process and education on how to. I am into crochet, cross stitch etc. I admire your talent and personality. I've been a follower for some time & plan to continue. Do you carve little cabins, houses, or Christmas trees? I have seen you carve the "doors" before. Whatever you carve is worth watching. God bless you and yours, & the merriest of Christmas.

[@mudpuppy1431]

Thanks Doug, I was just getting ready to try carving one of your other snowmen. I like this one better.

[@christinedavidson7189]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks again for such a clear and informative video. Yes please keep them coming. 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😍 Any shape and size is good. X

[@jimhamlin8671]

Hello from Indiana. Great carving, I'm fairly new to your channel Doug. I have seen some of your earlier videos Doug and was wondering if you had any artistic background your attention to fine detail is great. And you give great information and instructions.. please keep up great work,and a Merry Christmas to you as well.

[@oscardelaluz8640]

Doug love all of your 1x1 carvings. Was wondering if you would ever do a 1x1 video on carving a man with his head turned to the side.

[@lesleyhenshaw2878]

Happy Christmas ❤

[@garypostell5268]

Man I really like the looks of that knife, keep up the great work Doug love all the effort you put into these projects 🙏💯🇺🇸👍 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄

MERRY CHRISTMAS DOUG TO YOU AND FAMILY

[@tomevans4402]

Love snowman carvings. Kids love them too. Are you going to do a Christmas tree? Like to see you take. I will carve many of this snowman. Thank you!!

[@bige5565]

Nice

[@johndrover7161]

What is the oil that you put on after. Wonderful video. Appreciate your teaching.

[@bensanfordable]

Love your videos and this snowman in particular! Struggling with the drill for the nose hole ripping out little chips from the face. Any suggestions or tricks?

[@dansocea]

Every morning I find a new tutorial from you, is like Christmas morning. Merry Christmas, Doug! 🎅🎄 Any difference between the Pinewood forge blade and a 2" Helvie blade?

[@barbaragill3470]

Thank you for all the amazing videos! Where did you get that ruler?

[@kenhart6330]

Doug I think that I have an idea for you to carve using a 2 x 2inch block. I was thinking of carving something that I thought of quite a while ago. I was wondering if you could carve a Santa who got stuck in the chimney as in the song ,doing it as a chimney top and Santa's feet sticking out. Tell me would you do it that way and if it would be feasible? I'm an old newbie to carving and very slow at it so things do take a long time. I also have arthritis in my hands so there are long periods when I cannot carve at all especially during the winter. I watch many videos of you and Gene Messer along with others, some of who do have extra long videos. I hope you would carve one to show me how you would do it and to show others too.

[@Alberto1993]

I think that will be a tons of snowman soon…😂

[@markocahoon]

Hello Doug. Very nice video. I can’t wait to give it a try. The ASPEN wood you refer too. Would it go by a different name down here in Tennessee? I don’t think we have any Aspen wood here. What is another word species that might work as well? Thank you, Mark

[@beverlydeardurff5366]

Where did you get your Harley knife? I'm thinking about getting into flat plain carving. It looks like a simple technique.

[@Gam3Junkie]

Doug, is there a starter kit on Amazon or somewhere you can recommend? Never done any woodcarving before but If I get started early next year maybe I'll be able to make some nice Christmas decorations for '24. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and an even better New Year. Love from Norway.

[@TheMasterGee]

🚂🚃🚃🚃💨 🥳 Thanks

[@robbstack]

Thank you Doug! Quick question, when you cut your own basswood blocks from a larger piece, do you make sure the grain is running in a specific direction? I recently bought a large price of basswood so that I could cut longer 1x1 pieces and then you do a 6" project. lol

[@sayedmortezamortazavi8216]

Hello, do you teach how to make a skull?

[@Narque]

anyone no the size of the dowl rods are he used so i can find them on amazon?

[@BraxxJuventa]

😁👍🏼

[@pcmeyer]

What kind of knife are you using.

[@stephenwhittier6439]

Where did you get the knife ?

[@marcayres8567]

💚🇬🇧🌱

[@Cmxx1v]

Mine never look as good as yours

[@robertsadler9903]

What would be a fare price if we wanted to make them to sell? Im figuring my time is worth at least what they make at McDonalds. What your spin on it?

[@stanbrown915]

That will take me 3 days to carve....and he won't look that good😂😂😂😂

[@scottstephenson9597]

All your snowmen are on a diet.

[@alanshort4961]
