    Hey Doug ✨
    I'd like to say that this is honestly the best way to lead, learn and grow throughout 🤯 It was just recently that I found your videos and barely a month of even giving whittling a go. It was my wife's Christmas gift to me, a carving set of knives and the book of whittling 24 easy projects that brought me here and honestly it has begun to feel so wonderful doing it that I wish to keep going and getting better. To have my very own version of you and have abundance of such great talent. Thank you, the time and care you put in to make these sort of things is just mesmerizing.
    I think you are awesome 👍🏻

    I've just returned to whittling and did one of your minimalist lighthouses and want to paint it. Not being an artist or knowing anything about painting, I searched your videos for a tutorial and am glad I did - your guidance is clear and understandable! Thank you for sharing the evolution of your pieces - now I only hope I can take what I've heard/seen from you and apply it to my own. It is a joy to watch your videos, learn from you, and see all of your awesome pieces! Thank you for sharing your work and passion with us!

    @mwog7148 2 роки тому

    Thanks for the awesome videos! You are amazing and I want to try this myself. My Dad was an amazing woodworker and as a little girl I would watch him make things. I think that is what got me interested in it. He passed away about 5 years ago but he would have loved watching you. I want to give this a try for him. Thank you not only for your talent but your ability to teach it in a non-intimitating way.

  • @thizizliz

    Hi Doug, I'm new to carving over here in England. have watched a couple of your videos when i get chance and intend to watch more, enjoyed the video on painting the Gnome and the natural way you present the videos especially with your sense of humour. I hope to see more of your videos. Best wishes. (Jim )

    Great video, fun explanation. One tip for you, Doug. To get a better effect on the eyes, add a dry brush with grey or dark tan to the upper eyelid. You will find that this makes his 'stare' much softer. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks to you I have been whittling almost every day for the last 6 months. so much fun

It looks like maybe you've taken that video down :( This was the only video where I could find it referenced at all. Love that little carving. But then I love all your videos - I appreciate you sharing what you do, and how you share it. Your videos are so helpful, and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for what you do!
