    Seriously Doug, if I wasn’t interested in wood carving I would still watch your channel. You enthusiasm and your gentle humour are a balm for the weekly chaos. The fact that I am interested in carving makes your channel a double bonus.
    I want my boys to get started but trying to come up with a plan to introduce them to knife safety.

    Again Doug you have inspired me to do something new. I never carved until I saw you. I didn’t know anything about cottonwood bark carving. And now fan bird carving. Just keep being you. Thank you Doug.

    Those little birds would look so pretty painted and hanging in a garden to blow gently in the breeze .But would need bringing in during the winter I think 🥰

    Doug is very inspiring. I just orderd a Riving Knife after watching this vid for the first time.
    And they are really useful in the kitchen.
    Now I have the will to puchase one.

    @steveneff7650 Рік тому +1

    I get the same relaxed, easy going feeling watching you as I did watching Bob Ross! You make it look so effortless, and you seem to truly enjoy every little project. There’s something about the sound of cutting wood with a good sharp knife that sooths me.

    thank you for magical tutorial, sielulintu (soul birds from Finnish folklore) are wonderful charms/talismans, traditionally created by grandparents for children (to hang over cradles or just in the house to bring calm and ward off the evil). they are connected with shipbuilding and mostly were made of mast pine, so great to see them evolving and transforming, keeping the antient craft alive) hope i would be able to create some birds of happiness too

    @louisebol9052 3 роки тому

    I am a beginning whittler and I love your videos in which you explain how to....
    The thing is... I live in Europe and we have different measurements and also complete different sizes of woodblocks we are able to buy.
    (Chopping down is prohibited overhere).
    And that frustrates me because I cannot whittle your fantastic creations by following your videos step by step.
    Unfortunately whittling is not a populair thing in my country and there are no videos about it with our measurements and block sizes.
    But I absolutely love the way you show people how to create nice things from wood.
