    Searching for the proper word for your carving videos, I came up “approachable”. Enough details to make it interesting, but basic enough fir us newer carvers to take on without fear. Keep’em coming. God bless.

    Doug I've told you before but man... you are such an inspiration. Your gnomes and monster guys are fantastic. I especially love the extra touches like a pickle on a stick and the ducky on a leash! Totally whimsical! These guys should have their own cartoon series!

    Doug, I'm not a carver/ whittler, but I enjoy your video's so much. There's just something about an artesian/maker work that has such a calming effect on me. Thank you for for the bushcraft vids as well, especially the ones with "young Joseph". They end up being hilarious.

Love all your content, from the search for adventure, bushcraft, canoe trips, to the whimsical carvings, many thanks.

    I browsed a lot of your videos while waiting on my wood and tools to arrive. This is the one I looked forward to the most. It took a lot of self-discipline to practice on an easier one first, LOL. I'm kind of a bigfoot fanatic and it turned out great. Thanks for the instruction, sir.

    For any new carvers that think you need the rarer than Big Foot Helvie or Drake knives, look at that chip removal with a $25 OCC.
    Its stropped properly and in the hands of a carver that has done this hundreds of times.

    I'm brand new to carving but have been learning with your videos. Already made 2 of the dowel snowmen. I'm wondering how easy it would be to combine this arm/hand design but put it on the little snowman with the jacket from a while ago? I'd love to make the snowman holding a little shovel as a gift for someone, but I'm not quite sure how to adapt the design since I'm still too new.
