    You are the Bob Ross of carving. Making it a fun thing as it should be. "Don't be afraid to go out on a limb, because thats where the fruit is."

    First I love your video's. It makes me want to learn to carve. Second, your carving, your video, your methods. If you feel the need to use sandpaper use it. If the "purists" think that's bad let them think it. You make all of this fun and entertaining. Keep up the good work because more of us want to be like you.

    Nice to see you using a round piece of 'wood' for carving instead of always blocks (since I usually try to carve on tree stumps). Usually get a new piece of information from every video. Great job. Hope you made a painting video of this. Really like the colour you achieved on the beard.

    Absolutely LOve Your Video's !And anyone that say's Your Average, your Below grade, your just learning?? Their crazy ! Linker is the Man and followed him since day one ! Yes I'm a very beginner and I mostly do Christmas stuff. Santa , Mrs. Claus , wood crackers, bla bla bla ! And yes I shoved a gouge completely through my hand a couple weeks ago. And yes I had to have it sewed up. Good lessons are sometime hard learned ! But The " LINKER MAN" is always chilled out , calm demeanor , and a Great Teacher. Your Carving are Super cool , especially you Wood spirits and your Painting and finishes are Tops ! Don't ever be hard on yourself,,, your carvings & Personality 😄 are A+ !

  • @chrisblack8390
    @chrisblack8390 3 роки тому

    To cool! Those are my favorite things that you carve. I have a cotton wood tree in my yard. It's my favorite because the leaves click together and it sounds like I'm in Canada. I didn't know they got so big an now I have to cut it down. Very sad. I like the colors of it. I've never seen what's under the bark. I even have my grandfather's carving tools but never used them an I know I can't do what you just did but maybe I'll try it. Someone told me that woods not good for anything. Well now I know it is thank you.

    Hey Doug, I love watching your Tube's and I sure am learning a lot. Me, I'm just starting out with carving, though I don't have much gear but I'm a believer in using all tools and methods to reach an ends. I sure hope that's OK. Paint, Natural as long as the finished piece looks good and right to the maker that's all that matters. I for one don't mind watching you painting pieces, it's all part of the making. From sunny England thank you and stay safe
