Thanks Doug. Taking a Wed evening wood carving class. I finished a few 18th cent. type carvings and now I want to spend a lot of time carving caricatures so I ordered a number of these books. Can't wait to start.
Awesome. Thanks Doug, I'm excited.
Thanks for the video Doug. Great info.
Your going to do WCI good Doug ..So glad you are on board with them
Thanks Doug. Great video again.
Thanks! Your videos have really helped me to begin to create some decent looking carvings. I also love the painting demos. Layering really makes a difference.
Thanks so much. Have watched your videos for years. This one is very helpful and I have several of your favorites. Keep serving us with all your knowledge, talents and dry wit. Blessings
Love woodcarving illustrated.

Thanks very much, Doug!
Good stuff Doug! Look forward to the next video!
Thanks so much for putting all this together Doug.Just getting started, and am learning so much from your videos. Have ordered two of the book's from your list, to get started.
Thanks for all you share. 👍👌☕🍪
Thanks Doug! 👍😁
Loved your video on recommended Wood Carving Books!!! Thankfully, I have many, if not most of them and like you, enjoy them thoroughly and often. I can only wish that I was half as good as you and all of these wood carvers are! Like you say...'Practice, Practice, Practice'...SOOO true!!! Keep up the wonderful work!!!
Your respect for and knowledge of other carvers is very cool. I have a few Tom Wolfe books I like to reference.
Started watching your videos last week, and I can't stop. Lol, I'm going to give it a try.
Thanks for doing this book episode, Doug. We have a huge used book sale coming up in two weeks and will be looking for some of your suggestions.
I've carved some great projects from Wood Carving Illustrated and also from Fox Chapel Publishing books. I love when the WCI winter editions. They usually have some great Santa and snowmen projects.
Thanks Doug, will see if I get some of those in the UK
Awesome on the books and Awsome on your carving bench looks amazing
I was lucky and did some painting at a house. They were cleaning the basement and had a bunch of Woodcarving Illustrated, and they asked if I wanted them. I'm so glad I grabbed them because they do have a lot of good ideas, from beginner to advanced.
Thank you Doug
You should do one for UA-cam channels too! Woodcarving Garden and Carving is Fun are super useful and they all have really unique ideas
I also like Syman Woodcarving (mostly video game or similair theme characters) and shows the whole process. It is sped up but you can slow the video down in youtube self.
Great selection of books Doug. A few good gift ideas there. You don't have one that explains the best place to buy basswood ?
Only kidding....sorry, couldn't resist 😄
Great video Doug, I have most of your recommendations, not always easy to get some of them in the UK but some I have got from the US. Currently working on getting a copy of Gnomes!
doug, you may or may not know the ways you reach people. i took up wood carving because of you. it came along at a great time in my life. it's great therapy. wonderful thing to get into as i near retirement. very excited about the carvings and toys i will make. it's your fault!! thank you. thank you. and, btw, thank you.
It's a great hobby better than anything for mood management
Thank you for this.
You make me feel better about my guitar book collection!
I'm right there with ya, OleWetDog! I just pulled out my guitar book collection as I work on my own book... and I can't believe how many there are. -Shane at Fox Chapel
Very helpful, Doug! I have some of the Shipley and Hines books, but will check out the others. Happy Easter!
Thanks, you are a great teacher and I love your videos. Have you ever considered doing a video on carving rolling pins? Thanks
that gnome book was the inspiration for my favorite cartoon "David The Gnome" and has been out of print since like 1992, I would love to own that book.
Doug, I love your vids and your a great inspiration….. your books look like mine, I have many,and neither of ours look like they have been opened lol. Love the you tube.
Thank you!
Wow I thought I had a lot of books on carving. Plus most of the carving magazines, plus chip chats you doubled mine. They are the right way to go. Thanks ps amazon has a lot of basic free books so far a lot of them look like the same book by different authors its really sad. Really pay attention before you buy
I got a most popular collection of Woodcarving Illustrated the other day. 6 or so issues for $20. Was not a bad deal at all. I will look to find some of these you mentioned as well Mr. Linker. Thanks for all of those recommendations.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
I go to read 3:50 Learn to Carve Gnomes, Trolls, and Mythical Creatures, swedish carving techniques
7:01 Carving Faces Workbook
8:06 Swedish Carving Techniques
Rien Poortvliet ... wel heb ik ooit 🙂 That was my bible when it came out.
My favorite wood carver to watch. I appreciate all you do.
Can you tell us how you made your work piece stand. What works well and what would your change if you did it again?
Thanks
Holy crap look how many books he got!!! Wow
Thans for talking about Karen's book she is a great person and have carved with her on Tuesdays forservel years . I'm also the person who gave you the refrigerator magnet of the owl while at Steven's Point WI
LOL, I have about half of those books plus lots more. I wish I had half of Doug's talent!
Wow! I thought I had a Woodcarving book/magazine problem
Well I saw a few books I own in that quick montage...
I’m just starting out wood carving so this was very helpful. In your opinion, when you’re first starting out, do you think you should do projects that are smaller or larger? Which would be easier cuts? Thanks for all your instructional videos 😊
I was searching for a new hobby. 71 now with some mobility issues so I needed an inexpensive hobby I could do at home and your channel popped up in my UA-cam recommendations. After watching a few videos I am hooked and am now sourcing some equipment and supplies to get me started. Many thanks 🙏
Aside from carving you will also need to learn how to sharpen knifes and chisels(Doug has videos about sharpening on his channel) , if you don't now it already. But once you master both there are no boundaries in what you can carve.
@@marcelmajercik8374 I have been watching the videos on sharpening so I will see how it goes when I have to do it. Going to get myself a decent knife so I don’t have to struggle with sorting out a cheap one. Thanks for the reply Marcel 🙏
Well Doug just a thought but why not think about putting your own book out. It would be a combination of your videos. Something for beginners Something for intermediate Something for expert, tools, sharpening, types of wood etc.
Good afternoon Doug
Hope everything is doing well I see you're enjoying your carving
Another awesome video
I wouldve watched the whole video of all the books..just saying.. i was interested. ....
One thing you might add is that Woodcarving Illustrated also come in Digital form for people who do not want to save hardcopy or want to carry info on their electronic media.
When I heard about wood carving illustrated on one of your previous video, I checked it out and spent 120 dollars 😂
I love everything you do Mr Linker & will support your channel as always but honestly I would never watch a video about books otherwise... You can imagine I don't have much room for books & magazines at home💚🇬🇧🌱 Helping algorithms...
I would never watch something i never wanted to and don’t expect that of anyone else -don’t like ,don’t watch
@@dougLinker I still liked it Doug, you make everything you produce, worth the watching 💚🇬🇧🌱
Would love to know your must have chisels for wood spirit carving for someone like myself who is just wanting to start carving
Just to not waste money on things you don’t really need I’ve looked at a lot of starting sets at all prices but are they worth it?
So what is the Doug linker starter kit
I had about 10 years of woodworking magazines, last December I went to get one with a Santa Claus carving? Lo & behind the entire collection disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle. Actually my wife threw them away without asking. Not the first time some of my stuff has disappeared and she swears she didn't do it even though I have the evidence on my ring video camera.
Ouch! That really sucks!
I already have a wc illustrated subscription. Does anyone know where I could buy up a bunch of back issues?
Hi Doug. Great video. Did you know the book "Head Proportions Made Simple by Ivan Whillock" is being sold for prices in the hundreds mostly. I found one for around $30 (I live in the UK). It might be a great book but nowhere near the value being asked for it. Do you know of another good book for heads and faces? Judging by the number of people I have seen discussing the problems with head and faces I think this could be an opportunity for someone as skilled as you to publish your own book. Anyway, as always I enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Hola exeletes los trabajos como puedo escuchar lo que ud dice en español
Hey sir! Always love your vids! You are always a huge inspiration to the rest of us! - But, I have a question, if I may?... Wanted to purchase a "Doug Linker" mug and/or shirt, etc, but for the life of me, I cannot find your online store anymore-??! - Please tell me it's still possible to purchase merc from you somewhere online?? - Thank you for your time!
Keep getting 404 errors on all search links
Sorry there is nothing available at this time
@@dougLinker - Thanks for letting me know sir! - Hope a shop is available again some day (sad to have missed the opp). Cheers, and bless you!
You should release each book review on a separate video or a short. Then at least your work is not wasted.
Do you have a book out?
👍👍👍👍
Good Lord, sure you have enough there Doug🤔
I used to feel pretty darned obsessed & embarrassed by the large mountain of carving books I own…& then I watched this video & quickly realized, “Hey, there’s nothing wrong with me, I’m as normal as Doug Linker!!”…or Doug Linker is as normal as I am!…..hmmm….one of us should be afraid. Very afraid. You guess which one!!😂😂
I subscribed but the code didn't work no big deal but I wanted you to get credit as you are why I went for it
Email customerservice@foxchapelpublishing.com they will get you straightened out and then you can get the plans…..
Am I the only crazy one that wants to see the full version of the 25x speed video?
Me too, I like a ramble and could spin on it a book wasn't for me. My tablet isn't tick t me speed options but mute sound n on laptop you can slow the video a bit 😉

It is common for ppl to ask about your “favorite”. Allow me to disgorge my unsolicited opinion on the value of the value of talking about favorites. I don’t go for it. I harbor no Hatred of the concept. In fact I think ppl say it without really wanting to know your Literal favorite. It’s more of a conversation starter or a way to get someone who knows something to tell them about it so the next time the subject comes up THEY will be the person whose depths can b e plumbed for Their favorite something or another. There are a few more thoughts but I’ve already tuckered myself out and will save the rest of my thesis and findings for another session.
First!
First 🥇
Sheesh, I can't believe how many hundreds of $$$ I"ve spent on carving books, VHS and DVD's.. I probably have 90% of what you've sped through and what your "hest" are.. I pity my kids when I die.
