Doug I remember when you were a bushcrafter that took up whittling. Then you grew to become a really good wood carver and exceptional instructor and mentor, but my friend your abilities are such that now you are a true artist and a master at your craft. Thanks for sharing another amazing project.

Still miss the bushcraft. Not too fond of these larger carvings either. But that's just me.

@@dougLinker I wasn't trying to be snarky, but o.k., I guess we do. I've been a loyal subscriber for over 2 years, and have watched every video you've made and most of them twice. You are the one who was rude and snarky. I was simply expressing my opinion which was I prefer the smaller carvings. So you've lost a good subscriber.

@@ireneburke1732 wow, very unnecessary of you. You might want to reflect on your emotions awhile.

impressive self-portrait

It is such a pleasure watching you carve with just the sounds of the tools working the wood !!! Thanks for an inspiring video Doug 😊

Title it woodcarving asmr and get millions of views. Looks incredible!

I've heard that self-portrait is the hardest thing to do, awesome work Doug

Doug, its such a cathartic experience after a day at the office watching that fella slowly emerge out of the bark like that. The lack of commentary on these 'silent' sessions only adds to the experience. 😎

I learn something new each time I watch you at work. Always a joy to watch you carving.

The only thing more relaxing than watching you carve is carving myself so thank you for enabling both my friend .

Very nice carving! Never saw a chisel so big!!!

Really enjoying your silent series, Doug, especially with the use of bark. Miss the humor, but nothing like variety! Thanks

The video was instructive, inspirational and complete joy to watch. Thank you.

So relaxing watching you carve this Doug... Thanks for uploading.

As I've said before Doug, you're carving has inspired me to carve. I have several pieces now. Thank you for sharing

Great job Doug! Will have to watch this one several more times.

Doug, your efforts have inspired me!! I have been trying some of your techniques and though I am new to carving most people would never know it after seeing my results... Very excited about this hobby...A huge thanks Sir.

Doug that is a fantastic carving well done, you put such detail into all your carvings. Thanks for sharing your skill with us.

I LOVE THE SOUND!!! you just feel the blade carving, just amasing!! thanks Doug for all your video´s

Great stuff, Doug!! You always knock it out of the park!!

Awesome! Your Fearlessness, let’s me know you have an abundance of wood. 😜 Your skill and creativity over the last couple years shows how much passion. It encourages me always. Thank You, Doug and Fam.

Really like the flat capped, bearded carving! Your talent and skill is amazing!

Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic, Doug and Doug!

As a lifelong carpenter and nearing retirement I’ve always wanted to one day take up wood carving as a hobby but running my own business the time was never there. I think I’ve found the inspiration I needed watching this video.

Man I really enjoyed watching you carve this guy. I just ordered me some bass wood blanks to get started whittling. I love your videos!

Thats amazing ! A true artist. Good job Doug

You make it look so effortless! Can’t imagine how sharp that chisel must be!

Fantastic work Doug! Love that big chisel that you are using in the beginning!

An amazing work of art in less than a half an hour. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Absolutely fantastic.....watching a face appear out of a piece of wood .......real art 👍 Totally inspiring, thanks for the upload.

Hi Doug, your videos are really inspirational. Thank you for posting them. I recently took up carving after 45 years of woodworking for a living. Now I have the time to do this I'm really enjoying it and your videos are a great way to learn and get ideas. Keep it up! Who say's you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

You never fail to amaze me. I enjoy watching all of your videos.

You are a true craftsman Doug Linker!

Amazing, first time ever seeing someone carve with hand tools, I love it!

Thanks for sharing your art in woodcarving with us! Lovely work. All the best. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. ❤😃

Doug, that is amazing, your abilities have grown and grown. Loved your bushcraft and I love the carving even more as that is maybe something I can do. Going to enjoy your new series too. Thanks so much for making these videos and tutorials you are my all time favourite Canadian :)

Thank you for sharing this beautiful work 💜

Loved this video Doug, thanks for sharing.

That's a great likeness Doug! Lovely carving.

Great carving! Really liking these larger pieces!

just bought the basswood the knife and one glove ....thanks for the passion Doug Linker ! you are an inspiring Human being ....thanks

Very nicely done. I like that you just dig in with sharp tools with confidence.

Thanks again Doug, great self-portrait. 😎

Fan-Fkn-Tastic mate..... discovered you 2 days ago and have been binge watching your stuff with a slack jaw.... the more I watch, the more I learn....thank you my friend.

My only complaint about your work Doug is that you make it look so easy that I have to try it myself only I have none of the artistic ability you do!!

Thank you , Mr Doug .

once again you touched me, well done for your fabulous work. Thank you

Just found your channel Doug. I really enjoyed watching you carve. You make it look easy. You old man is really good. You captured a great look on his face. I love his beard to.

Doug your work is amazing

Awesome work Doug!!!!!

Just wonderful Doug!!👍😀😀

I just picked up some basswood blocks and bought a few knives from Lee Valley. You, Doug are my inspiration. Love your videos and your skill. Thank you!

It’s amazing how far your skills have come

Awesome as always! 🎅🏻

Thanks Doug that’s incredible how you do what you do, l just love watching you make things beautiful! 🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏💯💯💯

I am aware that every slice, every cut requires a decision to be made. You can cut a piece off but you can't put it back . . . respect!

Simply amazing work! Thank you for sharing.

Sir thank you for having an interest in carving. You have influenced me and now I follow a few. I just got through carving some prayer hands for my wife. No template all free hand. They turned out pretty good too.

You make it look SO easy!!!

Very nice Doug, thanks for sharing.

Absolute Perfection!

Another awesome video! Your my go to channel for learning this new hobby!

Doug great job I loved.

Doug !!! Thanks ,it 's a good show !!!!!!

I love your carvings. Thanks for sharing

Looks like the future Doug Linker. ;-)

Awesome and inspiring… Perfection.

That is an epic beard.

You really should do a carving book. You have 232k subscribers that would buy it!

I love this video! Very inspiring.

Your talent unmatched!

Love your work, your ideas, your vids and your style. Glad to see you like my cotton wood bark. (I’ve claimed it as mine and now use it almost always. However, I can’t do your quality )good job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is awesome I watch you all the time and learn a lot

Awesome job!!

I love your work!!

Fantastic, you make it look so easy.

Outstanding! The Mighty Spud!

🤣🤣 That is SO YOU!!!!! EXCELLENT JOB my friend!!!

Looks like a self portrait🤔👍

Very cool carving!

Very nice job looking very good!!!👍👌💯

You are a very talented individual. Keep up the great work. I wish I could even know where to start . You have a great vision. Awesome work as always

That beginning part is pretty slick!

I just started watching your videos. Man you make it look so easy. I'll admit my first few craft looked like aliens. I appreciate your hard work into making these wonderful crafts. My goal is to create a cool face on a walking stick one day. Merry Christmas bud.

Thank you. Great carve🙏

Enjoy all your carvings! Also enjoy your bush-craft trips as well! I'm a newbie carver. I carved along with you on "The most fantastically simple carving ever and I did pretty good. I tried carving along with the Scarecrow and broke the brim of the hat. Not just once, but twice. Guess I use too much force. Your knife seems to just flow through the wood. I'll keep trying for sure. Thanks for your videos, you do a great job! Dan

Thanks for sharing!!

This is a great video! I must of watched it 15 times. I use both conventional and rotary tools for my carvings.

Just subbed in the first minute of the vid.... purely for your tool work with that big chisel... sure its going to be a banger of a vid😁 so hello from your newest sub😜👌🤙

Really Amazing, Doug. But we miss hearing you. 😂thank you

Hi Doug it seems you carved yourself very nice work .

Epic video. Mind Blown. So cool!

Love your work well done

Beautiful!

Great work brother

I think the thumbs down people are just jealous of the Pfeil tools, or maybe they are in a Two Cherries gang?
