    I really like how you show carving with just a single knife and maybe some paint or oil. It makes getting started much easier without having to take out a loan. Thanks!

    Doug, your 1x1 series are a blast. I know I’m late watching this one, but I’m slowly but surely catching up on the series. All the birds singing in the background are the icing on the cake. 👍🏼

    The original owl carving is one of my grandkids favorites. The really like when I paint them in colorful paint. As part of your 1x1 series is like to see a refresher course on painting them... I've taken lots of notes from your painting videos but it would be nice to see your latest process for these little guys.

    Hello Doug, thank you for sharing your skill and wisdom. I really like your teaching style and if nothing more, just like to watch you create carvings. I'm 64 years old but not too old to learn. I made me a knife from an old sawblade that works quite well, but will order a commercially made knife anyway. With the help of your videos, I managed to make some wooden critters that are quite popular for birthdays and holidays. So thank you again! Cheers from Oregon - Peter

Hope that's something that can be corrected in future videos; although it is possible the focus issue might just be my tired old eyes;-). Your manner is so comfortable, yet informative, it makes even the beginner carver feel they can accomplish the task. Thanks for the inspiration!
