[@mikerandol3257]

I want to thank you for sharing with us your carving enthusiasm! I’m 74 and you got me carving again,so much fun. Love your dog.

[@SirFrederick]

Love mushrooms and love Gnomes

[@markperron851]

Awesome as always Doug. Thinking there may be a mushroom based chess set as a Christmas present for a friend who grows medicinal mushroom. You are always an inspiration and looking forward to the painting pointers.

[@marca5883]

That's a great idea dude💚🇬🇧🌱👍👍👍

[@jdalend]

I'd like to see this. I was thinking similarly.

[@PeteLewisWoodwork]

Loving this 1 x 1 series; it's kind of therapeutic.

[@rodneywalat8956]

WOW. Love this 1x1 series. Selfishly, I wish you could post one every single day.

[@robcarr1899]

Great video Doug. I started serious carving with your earlier mushroom videos. Now you are giving me new ideas for larger projects such as a Gnome village. Thanks buddy stay safe.

[@bige5565]

This is why I love your channel doug Your little whittle projects are so much fun to do for my beginner skills thank you!

[@medicus5565]

What a great surprise! Here I was enjoying your carving instructions for my next project and then you elevate it to an all new level by introducing your dog to us! What a sweetie! Thanks.😊

[@marknichols8699]

Had a blast making this mushroom w/door and painting it. Been whittling for a month and loving every minute of it, thanks to you. After the 'shroom, I took the plunge and carved my first caricature - your hillbilly/gnome. Followed your tutorial (play & pause) using a drop cloth in my living room while I sat in a chair and carved it. It came out great. I'm hooked. Time for me to carve the others. More, more, more.

[@crkbrnhrt5432]

So fun! I'm sure I'll have many peaceful afternoons trying different styles of these. I've been thinking about quick whittles for give aways at a local nursing home....perfect! Thanks again, Doug! You're the best!

[@Rigus208]

Doug. Ty for this vid , it sparked the carving bug in my wife . She’s a great carver , due to health she hasn’t carved in a while . She said this is what I did too get my carving groove back . Soooo thank you so much Mr. Doug 👍😇🇺🇸

[@puddinggeek4623]

Another fantastic and entertaining video. I love these simple whittle projects. I like projects that allow me to switch off a bit. Maybe call it Zen Whittling. Keep up the great work.

[@fizzlewicket]

Billie needs to help you make more videos! She's adorable!!

[@timweedon4637]

Fantastic as always Doug

[@AdventureIndiana]

I was in a book store and picked up a copy of wood carving illustrated and you were in it! Congrats! I will use your promo code and get a subscription. I will tell my wife that can be my birthday present this year 😊

[@dougLinker]

[@WIZ-IN-PA]

Hey Doug! Another great video!

[@brentstaker798]

Great video! You’re a very good instructor. Thank you for putting videos out for us to see.

[@ginabirks4910]

Definitely going to have to make a couple of these, they look so cute. Thanks for sharing Doug.

[@diannmcdonald4949]

Another wonderful video presented in such a relaxed setting that inspires better learning. Thank you for these learning experiences. Having the dog visit uninvited or not is always a plus. Have a great weekend and keep safe. ❤🇨🇦

[@ladyliberty417]

So cute ❣️ Love watching you carve in a peaceful place on something even I can do, ha!! Thanks Doug for this time-out and painting tips would be great 😍🍄

[@MyName-zd9pe]

So adorable and fun! Thank you so much. God bless. 🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸

[@upallnyte2000]

I made one of your mushroom guys but adding the door to make it a house is fun too.

[@oldncarvingJohn]

Excellent. Thankyou

[@jimschaffer9831]

Been a little while since I watched your videos. Had a triple by pass so I had some recovery time to work through.. Still enjoy your videos you have come up with new carvings since I last watched.

[@rumpple4skin976]

great video those look really fun

[@julioosorio1314]

Love your carvin and your dog 😂👍👍🙏

[@woodsroamer6175]

1x1 blocks are phenomenal!

[@HerradaJulio]

Nice, Thanks.

[@judithvilla6026]

So much fun! Enjoy the way you present these videos! I'm a beginner and your demos are a big help with how to approach with my baby rhino carve I'm working through.

[@mattvergauwen5307]

I was just telling someone struggling with carving to try an easy mushroom @ 2 days ago! Nice, simple tutorial! Thanks Doug 🙂

[@ginabirks4910]

Just made this funky little mushroom and the awesome bandit raccoon, thanks for the tutorials Doug.

[@megandamron1000]

Thank you I’m just starting and your an amazing teacher.

[@pauljames7727]

Stunning as always Doug thank you so much for sharing. Your fur baby Billy is a big boy and looks like a bear.

[@rafaelsanmillan7655]

Gracias por tus vídeos.

[@marygordon3032]

Love the mushrooms Doug and I don’t know where you get these ideas but I really think that they’re cool and thanks! 👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

[@coreybrown1421]

I think it would be nice if you took some time during this series and talked about sealers. Your owls looked great natural. You could offer some good advice on the differences between mineral oil, linseed oil, beeswax… ect. I know you do that in your other videos but some of the newer people may have issues finding those videos.

[@tollertollertoller]

Loved this video, I try to hang on to every cut you made. Should have a 1 by 2 in my hand 0r some scrap and practice each change to expression. Clearly I am a newbee enjoying your calm clear demonstration of these creations.

[@evankeehan6660]

Love your videos! Also loved the dog part. I would love to see a how to paint these little mushies video!

[@John-wo5bp]

Doug wow more options to try out but about the morel mushroom how to carve that next video im very interested to try that too as I seen plenty about your wife is lucky to have a talented guy as you but bet she has a pop at you with wood chips around lol . Ever thought of writing a book on whittling i buy one in flash im sure lots people would too 🇺🇲👍🦊🐾🇮🇹

[@ronaldainaire7086]

Latest Doug!! 8/10. Just got my copy of Woodcarving Ill. : Great to see you there, Very good interview. Best of future luck with articles

[@iandanielson5090]

Wow absolutely fantastic Doug what are you coming up with next 😂😂

[@shawnbooms6176]

New subscriber! Love the videos. I have binge several over the last few days. I am so intrigued about starting this. I would love to see a video about how you paint them and also how you maintain your carving knives. I know there are various ways of taking care of different blades so I would like to see how you keep these sharp. I'm a noob.

[@steve1a326]

Thanks!

[@dougLinker]

Thanks Steve!

[@coreybrown1421]

I was carving owls all day and missed this video. Guess I know what I am doing tomorrow morning.

[@coffeeman614]

Great video! Hope you’ll follow through with the painting video!

[@carolmoorcraft5386]

My husband and I love your little carvings, the mushroom people and houses are wonderful, we follow you on the TV but often forget to come to our computer to like the video, My husband carves walking sticks but had lost interest until he started watching you months ago, Doug if possible could you tell us what store we can find the magazine the woodcarvers illustrated, because we have no way to order it online, being seniors we do not trust the sites as not always sure of what we are doing, You are awesome and we really enjoy the content, Thank you for sharing your talent

[@michaelengel7165]

Still like watching.

[@daryldawe3943]

3 videos in one…heck of a deal!

[@Crits-Crafts]

I'm a brand new carver... The face is a little bit beyond me yet but I love the door ones

[@Michael-zm3zd]

Fun 😊

[@bunnylovenuts8680]

Whops, I forgot to ask - any chance of a video showing how you carve the various doors and windows in these mushrooms? Thanks again.

[@feralfreebirds]

Ya know - since iv started watching your channel recently- you remind me of Bob Ross - but wood carver 👍🥰🌞🌻

[@thebigyank1]

fun is the name of the game!!!!

[@ginabirks4910]

Thanks

[@dougLinker]

Thanks Gina!!

[@johnprice1914]

My word Doug...Your dog is the size of a bear...What on earth do you feed him on lol...Love your carvings as usual...Thanks Doug.

[@marcuswhite3579]

Hey Linker! I just want to say thank you for the amazing work you do here. I prefer power carving; which doesn't hurt my hands as much as whittling, but your methods are easily transferred with a little practice. Your gnomes, fairy houses, etc are so vibrant and creative I'm wondering where do you find inspiration? I find it here and from other power carvers, like Matt Carves, Jordy Johnson, Just Carve Rob, etc... and am never short on ideas thanks to creators like you! To your point, we're in the "retirement" age bracket where we find more time for carving due to life events (kids moving out, retirement, etc). I believe we also take more time to "stop & smell the roses" as our focus shifts from achieving to enjoying. As a beginner carver, I'm trying to find price ranges for my work. I tried a couple of sites, but the pricing is all over the place due to producers selling to family members at very high prices (I assume the money just changes hands back & forth). I even found what looks like one of your carvings of a 6" gnome flying a kite for $299! Any tips on realistic pricing? Anyway, keep up the great work and I'll keep watching! Stay blessed.

[@maxineroberts9616]

Thank you so much I've followed you and carved my first mushroom 😊 enjoyed it very much not sure what paint to use?

[@Anders.B]

Haha. I have a small ruler obsession as well.

[@mardler]

That’s another great carve Doug and probably another addiction for me 😂 Are you sure that’s a dog by the way and not a Wookiee? 🤔 When will it stop growing 🤷‍♂️

[@bunnylovenuts8680]

A small ruler fetish, you say? ell now we know what to get you for christmas. Question - do you paint/finish these the same way that you do the gnome doors? Also, it looks like some are dyed, perhaps. Any tips re: paint and no-paint finish options would be grand. Thanks!

Squinty red hat guy looks like he just farted and guy with the green hat is sideyeing him because of it! 😂😂😂 20:53
