A follow up video in a few months to see how the tree healed and carving aged would be nice. If all is well, then you earn the title of steely eyed carver guy! Nice work sir!
Where I used to live, in British Columbia, there was a trail with these scattered all over. It was very nice and whimsical. the bark kind of heals itself and it makes it really look like part of the tree
Man, I can watch and listen to your videos for hours! Not only teaching the art of your craft, but in a fun and easy going manner.. You my friend are the Bob Ross of wood sculpting in my book. Here's to many many more years of fine wood sculpting videos to come! All the best.
Came here just to like the video because I assumed the comments would be nothing but bitching about harming the tree. Pleasantly surprised to see the support. I agree, I’d like to see updates on the tree as time passes
I've said it about a thousand times Doug you are one highly extremely creative person please for the love of God do not change take care glad to see you got a video out way how busy things can be I understand that videos Don't come easy I haven't made one in a while a long while again take it easy
Now you've started something I'll be out craving all my trees in my yard.😀You've taught me a lot on craver and you're the reason I started. Great job and love your home place👍
Hey Doug, i'm from Germany. You are so good carver , and i see your Videos always. I wish i can see you in my life sometime! Sorry my englisch is not good. By, Eugen
That is nice. First video ive seen of yours. If i could carve that good there wouldn't be a tree around without an old man's face on it. Spirit trees everywhere haha. I love that
That’s awesome Doug,makes me want to go get at the tree out front but nowhere near that sort of skill level,so will just enjoy and admire your amazing talent, thanks for sharing.
So glad to see you Doug. Been worrying that you might have been affected by the fires.... Loving the wood spirit, think my battery is going to run out on my phone, might have to come back in the morning🤔 😁 Edit: made it! He is fantastic Doug, a true forest guardian. 🧙♂️
Love your carving , love your chicken coup ( rather- henhouse) and just love your garden; and the little bridge over the fishpond and the sun dappling through all the greenery create such a feeling of peace and tranquility
Beautiful craftsmanship, watching you carving is a pleasure for me. I have so much to still learn. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Be safe and be careful my friend.
Doug you are an awesome mentor because you find new worlds to expand into. This was truly brilliant. You constantly amaze me. Thanks for what you do here.
Thank you Doug for introducing me to this fantastic hobby! I'm keeping my first five-minute wizard made from a small piece of dry and grainy firewood with a folding pocketknife, so I'll always remember where I started. I'm still not very good, but I'm making one of your bigfoot carvings now!
Simply brilliant Dough. In my eyes this is one of your very best. Beside the fact when you scared the hell out of me in the very beginning using the draw knife but once again you had a plan
Glad to see you, Doug. I was worried about you and your family with the weather issues. Sometimes I feel like you're neighbor, a very creative one with a great sense of humor. Thanks for being who you are and sharing a part of your life. Makes mine a lot better. Thanks,
When people ask who my favorite artist is, I always say Doug Linker. I've been a carpenter for 35 years and make cabinets and furniture that have made their way into magazines but Doug has a talent that brings me envy, joy, peace, and frustration all at once! Good to see you again Doug and once again well done!
So amazing to see it come to fruition! Thank you so much for bringing us along for this lovely creation. Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family. All the best!
I love these wood spirit carvings! There is one in the woods near where I live carved there many years ago, artist unknown. He is gathered much character over the years and makes me smile every time I see it!! Do you ever carve beautiful women wood spirit faces?? I've never seen it done.
And the neighbors say honey... he's out talking to the trees again lol.Good job brother it looks fantastic.
The Bob Ross of tree carving 💕
I would like to thank you for this video. I carved my first one using this video. I have a lot of practice to do.
I think Doug might be transcending into the very wizards he creates. He’s just at his humble apprentice stage right now.
Nice beard Doug! If you keep growing it, youll end up as one of your gnomes, with the thing so long it trips you over.
There's something satisfying about traveling with you through one of your projects. Thanks for sharing your creativity, your art.
A follow up video in a few months to see how the tree healed and carving aged would be nice. If all is well, then you earn the title of steely eyed carver guy! Nice work sir!
Yes please
The tree died of sap hemorrhage. Great job.

@@1776adb I heard it was a sap heart attack.

I wonder how the sculpture ages. Does it deform as the tree grows?
Welp, out to the front tree I go. Great as always Doug. Thanks so much for taking the time to film.
Fabulous job! Greetings from Guayaquil - Ecuador 🇪🇨
Man, I can watch and listen to your videos for hours!
Not only teaching the art of your craft, but in a fun and easy going manner..
You my friend are the Bob Ross of wood sculpting in my book.
Here's to many many more years of fine wood sculpting videos to come!
All the best.
It was a pleasure to watch you create that characterful Woodspirit Doug, it always amazes me how perfectly even you manage to make you carvings.

I watched this video twice and it inspired me to do a wood spirit on my walking stick.
Complimenti bravo maestro 👍
Its brilliant Doug.
More magic from the hands of Doug! Well done! I just hope the tree can stay to preserve this work of art.
Outstanding Doug !!!! Now I'll be driving around Canada looking for that tree LOL
You're a talented man, Doug. That, is really great. 🙂👍

No shit. I was just planning on making some lady spirits for my wife and daughter
This video is amazing!!!! Such a cool concept. Keep it up Doug! 👏🏼👊🏼
Always the best Doug ..Beautiful Wood Spirit
I started doing this in some flooded timber I own after watching my very first video of his where he did this on a stick.
This is one of my favorites. Beautiful work, thank you for sharing your time and talents.
So amazing! I'm just starting carving and this inspires me to keep at it!
Love your videos, I just retired and it looks like I found a hobby
Amazing!!! ❤️
