    Hello Mr Linker, where are you with your vlogs, have you disappeared from the face of the earth, or do you no longer feel like it or are you completely snowed in Canada? I miss your vlogs or have you lost your inspiration

    Hopefully, you'll get this done a little quicker and have time for your Christmas Doug Linker. You are my best teacher of carving
    Alex has great art talent, but he doesn't reach down to my learning level. I do think he is improving to reach my level or just hopefully my learning skills improve.
    Merry Christmas, and thanks for teaching me

    Thank you Doug.Carving this size wood gives us better understanding on how the cuts all come together, especially around the eyes, which is difficult to achieve. Great detail, looks realistic. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    HOW COOL. I’ve been wading into cotton bark carving lately to ease thumb pain and give those muscles a break.
    Cotton wood bark is a wonderful medium. I cannot wait to take a deep dive I may try to follow along with this video as an attempt

  • @ViKee010
    @ViKee010 8 місяців тому

    Beautiful work. You do make it look much easier than it actually is. Some people say their wood is hard or their tools aren’t as sharp, but we all need to realize that you could probably use a box cutter with a 2x4 and still it would be beautiful. Your hand strength and artistic eye are what makes your work beautiful. Merry Christmas Doug to you and your family. ✌🏻🤍🎄
