How is your whittling going man?
Hi! Im a 27 year old woman from Wisconsin and ever since I was a kid I wanted to wood carve. A dream once forgotten but now I'm taking a hiatus from my other lived hobbies and I rediscovered wood carving! Your video is one of many I've watched in the last few days. However, your video is my favorite for the simple fact that I feel like I'm right there next to you, enjoying coffee, the sounds of nature and just hanging out with a buddy. Great video sir! I can't wait to look at your other videos!
19 year old whittler here, we’re keeping the art form going! Your videos are a HUGE help I love them all. Thank you brother
Every piece of wood has something in it…..you just have to find it. Old carvers never die, we just whittle away. 👍 started carving at the young age of 30 yrs old….36 years later I am still at it carving song birds, birds of prey and ducks. Enjoy watching your videos Doug…..keep up the good work. 👍🇺🇸
Those slits would be called “gills” Doug. I was wondering if you were going to add them, with a v-tool or gouge…and you did! Great job and fun little carving! Thank You as always.
I keep coming back to your video,very relaxing, great to see someone making something look easy.
Doug, I am so happy your doing this series, I have a 10 year old grandson that loves carving and we spend a lot of time together carving. We have watched your videos and they are perfect for him and me! Thank you
Dennis so glad your grandson and you are bonding over carving,Doug is a great mentor.
One of my grandson’s was carving with me ,he really liked it ,getting good as well .Then one day a few years later , he kissed a girl 😒.
Well he’s still the best, we don’t carve any more.😔.so take some pic of ya guys having fun .😇🇺🇸

Ben, thanks! We do get picture and I figure I have a few years before girls come along!😅 He wants to join the local carving club and they are putting on a 6 week beginners class in October. He asked me if I would go and take him, I told him nothing would make me more happy! Have a great day!

Ty, Enjoy. Don’t forget to save the first carving , u ya o compare down the road .
Btw have ya heard of put pepper on a cut , it coagulate the blood quicker. No it doesn’t burn , just the black pepper packets ya get a Resturant work well . A Dr. Was amazed how well the cut healed , no need for sutures.👍

awesome stuff so much healthier and bettet then the phone 👍❤️
I'm 25 years old and started carving 4 years ago when I found your channel! I'm absolutely obsessed with it.
Top Vidio 👍 thanks for sharing..! Always succses.. greeting from Indonesian traditonal gold prospecting 🇮🇩⚒️⛏️👍👍
Thans you Doug for these nice mushroom examples. The carves beneeth the head are in Dutch called "plaatjes".
14 yrold whittler here just recently whittled my cutlery set and have been delving into some bush crafty stuff i made a backpack frame out of wood and cordage i made and used an old sack as the bag its so much fun
I will be 23 this year I been watching your videos and just bought myself a beavercraft knife and strop and I’m ready to have a house full of carvings lol thank you for your great advice and teachings sir I’ll put some dowels I have to good use.
Thank you , Mr Doug .
🐺
I love that you have woods if I want trees it's an hour drive and then the trees are still dead! But that is the cost of living in the desert of Arizona.............Be well and be safe..🪚🔪🪓
What a piece of heaven.
I'm just short of 60 and only have shop bought wood 🙃 so I'm grateful for your help
67 years old here, my 13 year old granddaughter has become interested in carving. I'm thrilled!!
Cool thing about mushrooms - impossible to get it wrong!
I started wittling when I was 14 I’m 15 now and I’m really enjoying it and really glad I found your channel
My granddaughter likes mushrooms so I think I think I will carve her a mushroom! Thanks for the ideas Doug!
My son just had our first grandbaby and I can't wait til I can teach him whittling, wood carving and woodworking.
I moved from Ohio to Michigan to live with my mom. She's 91 years old and legally deaf with a cochlear implant. She lives by herself after my dad passed away on December 17, 2020. They would have been married 67 years on December 20, 2020. The "cabin" is located in a wooded area.
👍 thanks again Doug !
I've been on a mushroom carving frenzy for about a month. Some of them have turned out quite well. Time to put some color on them now. And then give them away. Lol. Brings smile when people get free hand carved things. Best part of a project.
Hand made gifts are from the heart not the check book!!!
Trappers basket for the win!!! I have begun to use mine more and more. Best “backpack” ever. 👍
I’m 26, and you sir have literally grabbed my interest and are holding on for dear life 😂 my stuff is arriving tomorrow I ordered some beaver craft tools and such, very inspired, and very excited to get going !! I love your videos
Your so lucky to be surrounded by raw wilderness! Here in the UK it's virtually none existent and what is about is in poor condition. Enjoy what you have and protect it.
plenty woods and forests up in Scotland :)
Wow I'd disagree here! South England is full of beautiful countryside I can only presume you live in a midlands city? Bet you can find a forest if you went north or south for a half hour...
@@marca5883 Your right there is! But they're all very very small and insignificant compared to what Doug has around him. UK forests are in poor condition meaning they don't always have a thriving ecosystem from the smallest insect to the largest mammal. They often have large roads cutting through them also. Did you know we're the worst country for tree cover in the whole of the G7 countries. It's about to get alot worse aswell with all the large infrastructure projects these busy bodies are passing through aswell as the cost of living crisis that's caused a rise in log burners which guess what = more trees for the chop.
We don't even have a single stream or river that's passed a clean bill of health, they're literally all polluted.

I wish I could carve a mushroom and have a coffee with you in the bush! You just seem like the kind of people I need in life! Thank youuu
Doug, you handle that carving knife like a surgeon handles a scalpel. You also have artist eyes and can see a figure inside of a chunk of wood trying to get out. You really do beautiful work.
Great video doug I've been into art all my life , but after our daughter passed away I came across you on UA-cam and I started whittling as a hobby it has kept me same and keeps me busy I love it thank you so much . I'm 61 now and from Scotland and I think what you say about getting kids into it would be great . Keep your amazing video's coming ❤️
Sir your the best
This was awesome! A man and his loyal companion chilling out in the wilderness together. Incredible carving tutorial! Cheers
Brilliant. Now I’ve gotta carve a mushroom.
Thank you.
believe they are called gills. very enjoyable carve!! many thanks Doug!
good to share time with FIN and you.
I'm 28, from inner city Chicago, and I love wood carving!
I'm 26 and got hooked into the hobby watching your videos. Love the mushrooms was funny i was just thinking of doing one the other day then here comes Doug with a video giving me great inspiration on how to go about it :D
How appropriate right now. I am a fungi fan and just thinking about making a new character for my collection. Love your work.
Been selling little mushrooms and other carvings locally for a while and this has given me a lot of great advice.
The bush, Billy tea and carving.... bliss. 👍🏻
I've been hoping for some coffee and carving. These are my favorite. Thanks!
28 years old and I just finished my lunch break carving a little tractor for my daughter. You've definitely inspired me and many others
LOL I started carving after watching one of Doug's video a few years ago. Since then I've carved about 30 mushroom. It's the only thing I can carve with my weak, now arthritic, old hand.
Doug, I'm not sure if you read the comments on your videos but you have helped me tremendously! I've been struggling lately with life junk and its really cluttered my mind and caused me to seep back into a depression state. Carving has helped me declutter my mind so much!! It started with one of your videos, the sounds of the wood being carved and your amazingly calm and peaceful demeanor really spoke to me and i've been carving in my free time lately. It has really helped my mental state in a way I never expected. So, thank you so much for what you do, it goes much farther than you might think! Keep it up and stay peaceful!
I’m certainly hooked! Thanks for getting me started Doug.
I'm a 25 y/o woman and just got into whittling (: I've always been interested, but finally had the opportunity to get a nice little begginner knife set! I love your videos
I really like these kind of videos. It just relaxing and feels doable. Many thanks
Outstanding as always Doug. I think you have inspired me to carve a mushroom themed chess set for a friend. I think if I get rolling now I maybe done in time for Christmas. If not he will get it for his birthday!
I agree we need to expose more younger folks to the joy of doing this. The ones that jump on board as youngsters will still be enjoying it when they retire someday.
Nothing I can say but....What a great video!
Not exactly young at 42 but watching your channel started me wanting to carve during lick down. I love it, I'm still trying to build up my hand strength as it seems to always make my thumb joint swell up but I'm proud of what I've made and always look forward to your tutorials to help me!! Just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to this wonderful hobby! X
You sit on that bench but once a year Doug. Occasionally I don't know if it's the winter or the fall deer running through the woods you've filmed that I was wondering what happened to the bird boxes that you made and put on the trees did any owls ever move in, your whittling is always a pleasure to watch.
Agreed, your easy quick whittles are fun, satisfying and a great way to get the "kids" interested. Thank you.
Looks like a lot of fun to do
Great tutorial as always. Would love to see a video from you on carving that Morel mushroom. Any chance ?
As you carved I could imagine carving a girl out of the wood . She could have been a little mushroom girl 😊 The way it belled out at the bottom could have been the bottom of her skirt. Thank you for such a delightful but simple carve that gave me an idea!!❤👍😊
Great way to spend time in the forest on a nice day. I like doing in the the fall. 🙂
Thanks!
30 and learning to carve now - love these videos as motivation, thanks!
great video like when you carve in the bush awesome little mushroom thks Doug
Hi Doug just got your message about a offer we were gone for a few days not sure what it's about
Absolutely brilliant. You are a Genius.
You got me into carving last November now an old friend of mine who is now retired is getting into it after i gave him some mushrooms and Easter Island Heads.
Thanks to you he has now a new hobby. I would also like to get younger folk whittling.
Love your work and videos. Stay safe buddy.
Nice and easy carving!!! Sweet !!! Nicely done!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
Great video! I'm 19 year's old and just started carving. My 93 year old neighbor carved his whole life and did some amazing stuff. I showed him my first spoon and he was really proud of my work and now he shows me his techniques
Thank you sir for two things. 1 being your demeanor and 2 your consideration for making carving easy and fun. I have watched almost all of your videos and enjoy the calmness and clear thought it brings. Please keep coming up with these awesome carves.
Doug, maybe someone has already commented but the generic term for the section under the mushroom cap is 'Gills', some species have tubes for their spores. Great video BTW, I often make mushrooms on my lathe but am definately going to carve my next one - Thanks for your infectious enthusiasm for carving, I've watched them all!
fantastic Doug!
These look great Doug!
Great and fun carving, I did a bunch of your little mushrooms with the faces, I like those to
I followed your penguin tutorial. My kid loved it.
I love my coffee ☕️ but if I'm Sweating I can't add a hot drink to it. Everyone is different. Nice carve Doug love your work.
Fun idea. Your dog seems so calm, what a nice pet
Thanks for taking the time to share. The tutorials inspire me to take your carvings and make my version of it. 👍🏻
Your Dog has a lovely life as well lovely
Awesome. Another nice carving video.
Great carving and video.
Love the videos, Doug! So laid back and relaxed. I’ve scrolled through the comments and didn’t see it, but the ribs on the underside of the mushroom cap are called the gills…
Doug I think the under part-is called gills. Not for sure but that is what I think.
Oauu super 👍👋
Great carving and good advice. I was convinced I didn't need a glove but happened to be wearing one when the blade slipped and caught the joint of my finger hard. Closed my eyes convinced my finger would be floating in the glove but apart from the top layer of skin going it was all good! Really enjoy your videos.
glove saved me too great advice
Thanks for sharing your experience Scott - “ a word to the wise is sufficient” 😛 p.s. please remind me again and again 😝🙏
Thanks for the video. 71 on Sunday.
34 years old here. Love your channel already. Finally found what I was looking for. So excited to do more carving once I go on vacation 🙂
Love it. Mushrooms are a fun carve, I always have a folding saw in my truck, for found branches. Thank you
Good thinking Tom I going to put a folding saw in my car as well 👍🇦🇺
@@frankhavinh9066 it’s fun when you carve because any tree, branch , drift wood all have new meaning 😂
Sometimes as fun as carving.
Hey Doug! Writing from tropical Costa Rica here. Love your videos, your tutorials and recommendations! Starting this carving adventure with this suggestion of a project. Hope it comes out as great as yours. P.S: PLEASE keep on going with the super material! Helps me a lot with mental health and explore creativity. Thanks a ton!
I absolutely love your carvings 🍄🍄🍄🍄
Your tutorials got me into carving, Doug. Love the variety of the work you do and the dowel/round stick series is great. Thanks...
I started carving when I watched Paul Sellers sharpen a chisel and carve a spoon. I had an old beat up chisel that I always thought you had to have a hammer to use, but I had a stone so I set about learning to sharpen it. Sure enough, I got the edge so that you could just push it thru the wood. Wound up carving a spoon that day. I was hooked, tho never thinking I could carve anything else. But I saw Mary May do some relief carving and I figured I could do that. Ordered some neat Pfeil chisels and had some fun for a while. But then I saw you carve a wood spirit if I remember correctly and you made it so plain and simple I got me a block of wood and tried it but quickly realized I did not have the right tool. You recommended a Mike Shipley knife you used on that carving. I ordered one and what a dream that knife has been. I have enjoyed trying many of your carvings since then (it's been a few years now), some I did better on than others, but I enjoyed the process no matter if I succeeded or not. Carving is so peaceful. And you learn with each one. Lowers the blood pressure lol! Thanks Doug. You've inspired many of us! By the way, the Shipley has never been on a stone. It was razor sharp the day I got it, and just a strop, and it is razor sharp again. I have since ordered some different ones and they are OK, but I love that Shipley knife! It is still my favorite. Guess what, I just watched a bit further, and it appears you are using my Shipley in this vid! What a great knife.
Love see you carving and replicate it by myself but I really really love your coffe and carving. Nothing better.
If you want the bark to stay on a carving. Cut the wood in the winter when the sap is down. The bark will stay on the wood. Great vid has always Doug thank you
Doug - love your carving style, and your easy going commentary. Just a pleasure to watch and listen to.
I’m going to try to get my grandsons into carving when they get l little older.. and yes it has changed my life as well… I’m so glad I stumbled onto your channel and thank you Doug.
I'm just over 30, and I'm loving your videos, it gives me so much more confidence in my own carvings, when you say it's good just to carve little simple things, it doesn't always have to be super complex to be skilled ♥
Hey Doug, greeting from one of the younger ones! I'm 29 years old and carving since 2018, and you really got me hooked to this lovely passion! Love all your videos and the effort you put in the channel! This video was close to the great carving and coffee videos!
Same age same passion here!
@@Alberto1993 Nice to hear that!
I got you beat at 15 lmao
@@Alberto1993 high five for the 29 yo's! brand new at this, carved a little fox and gave it as a xmas present!
Hey Doug l love mushrooms especially the edible kind, awesome and thanks for sharing!😎😎😎👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯✅✅✅
I just found your videos, and I really like watching you work! I'm 27, and just got my first set of knives. Watching you makes me excited to get started!
Looks like fun! Good to see Finnigan, especially on International Dog Day!
Gills.
I love your video's Doug.
I have just spent the weekend with my Scout group camping and in their spare time all they wanted to do was carve and by chance mushrooms were the flavor for the weekend.
Nice whittling as always! Well explained! So fun to watch!
Great video. What a great reminder that as you progress with carving and you get more advanced every carving does not have to be complex and highly detailed. Just have fun and relax. Thanks Doug.
👍😁
Thank you Doug for another great video I just love the little dowel projects I’m starting to get my 8 year old grandson into carving and they are just perfect it’s a great thing for us to do together 👍🇦🇺so thanks again and keep them coming
V Tool is making GILLS. Love your channel!
