maybe if the wood is so white it would show up better in the workshop rather than outdoors. Though this was a great carving i seen how you did everything just fine. Ive been having a bit of fun myself trying to carve characters and just some other things I imagine up. Thanks for all the great videos and inspiring me to start a new hobby. Always love watching you carve you have a great personality and humour keep it up! cant wait for the next one 😁

What about covering the table with a blue or green tarp for some contrast between the wood and table? When you raised the carving high enough it really stands out against the grass. Been watching for years. Love the channel Doug. Thanks again!

Your carvings are great!! BUT your skill with the knife is no doubt legendary!!!

Thanks again for sharing. These look easy to learn from memory without needing to follow the videos all the time. Helps to build confidence. 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I like these types of videos. I'm only about 3 months into carving, and still finding little ways here and there to improve my cuts. Your videos help a ton.

Great video Doug. I start of most of my carving by making my blanks dowels. Just something I got use to doing..

As a relatively new Carver I get stuck for ideas. Thanks for doing what you do. Your videos don't just give me ideas but I just want to watch you doing your stuff. So calming and relaxing to watch and listen. Great to see you at work creating little fellas that start off as a block of wood then ending up a little person who has a name and a personality. Thanks Doug.

Beautiful little bear! Loving this carving ideas, easy and fun. Love it. Thank you as always Doug!

Your the best Doug ..great little project and wonderful results .Thank you for sharing

You,my friend, are the Bob Ross of carving! I learn so much and you have great patience. Thank you.

Love the dowels for carving,, they also have the square dowels, and I got the longest one I could find, and carved a chain very fun, thanks for your videos Doug glad to see you still making them...say hi to the chicken's for me..

And I like the way you talk your way through your carving. It just helps the thought process. And us to understand

Love these smaller versions of previous carvings! Keep them coming.

Have been watching your videos for quite a few years now and still really enjoying them, thanks Doug👍

Thanks so much for the dowel carving series--I love these!

Excellent, I like how you reference the finished carving, very helpful! I must have watched your previous bear video a dozen times and carved 6 bears! Really fun.

The kids must love your little carvings💕To me too!Like a living Santa who made the toys for the wee ones💕💕Bless you Doug for keeping the art alive😊💕

Great little carve, thanks for this series, Doug. Always love your work.

Well.. after a long time of recovery due to heart surgery ... I'm back at it.. LOVE your tutorials and these small projects look to be just the ticket to help with the healing process. God Bless you dear brother !! ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you once again Doug, its great seeing you do the bigger projects, but your easy small projects are always something special.

Your connection with wood and the way you interact with it is amazing, I carve on and off making spoons and stringart but you're next level when it comes to identifying a personality in the wood itself. thankyou for showing me a way :)

Love your videos, so glad I found them. Keep creating and sharing.

Love the little guys. Thanks for sharing with us.

I love these sort of carvings, I do them for my grandchildren. Thank you.

Love your projects Doug the bear is one of my favorite things to carve and the 5 minute wizard can’t wait to start these little guys and put them on the end of my chip clips 👍

Another great one, thanks for your time Doug

That was a great video fun to carve. Thanks for sharing I'm so happy you take the time to share your knowledge with us.

Awesome carving Doug !! Love all the Dowell carvings !!!

Another great little carve, I will be giving it a go

💚🇬🇧🌱 what a great lil guy! I'll be carving him from a stick this afternoon, hope you're having a great summer Doug, live show with the better half, anytime soon???

Doug, you are so cool and casual. I was holding my breath when you were working on the face. I was waiting for the nose to come flying off. Great video as always 😎

Wow, just WOW! Looks great! Very nice bit of f9lk art.

Great project! You make it look easy. This is very encouraging!

Fantastic stuff Doug, a pleasure to watch

I like these kind of videos. Thank you.

Great video Doug!

Great project Doug! Think I'll give it a try. Really like these little dudes.

Thanks for your time

Thanks a lot for videos of this type. They help me a lot, because I mainly whittling out harvested sticks.

Awesome Job and gonna keep carving away , and some day , my carvings will look like yours. Thank you for the motivation!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

Thx Sir Doug, this shld be fun.

Thanks again Doug for sharing ! 🤗 😎

Great video. As usual. Thank you, Doug

Thank you very much 😊

Love your videos. I learn a lot. Thank you

Thank You for your Inspiration and Information!

Very good job at the tutorial. Thank you, Thank you.

Excellent. Thank you.

Another great project thanks

Geez doug thanks again enjoying so much this project your hard work is surely appreciated I am getting so much joy making these bears and I think people appreciate them also. God bless

I love it. Try this by putting the bear in a garbage can. We see that when we go on vacation in national parks. You do such a good job and I love your comments. God bless you.

Awesome video Doug! Great idea for the Carver that is traveling or on vacation👍🏼

Great Teacher

I love these! So cute. Thanks for sharing how to make them. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 😃

That is cool. I saved pieces of a pine tree we cut down that my kids now grown used to play in and around. I would like to carve them these so they have a part of the tree. Thanks for the tutorial.

Really enjoying the dowl videos. I have been doing mine with paper birch branches...so they look cute coming out of the tree

Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night!

25.4 mm in an inch. But probably an irrelevant level of detail when carving. I love your work

Very nice Doug and thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩😎😎😎💯💯💯

Thanks 😊very good instructions. 😊

it looks so easy on you, greetings from Germany

Thanks!

I adore your bears!

Love it wish i could buy one

Thanks Doug !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great carve and video. Love this little bear. You did such a great job painting them, I'd love to see a video on how you make the stump look so real.

First, I love your videos! I’m learning a ton. Just did this bear and I dig em

Cute little guy, who looks right at home on the tree trunk.

Bagus sekali karyanya. Salam sukses selalu.. Indonesia hadirr...

So cute❤️

Great help to a beginner - you are a master of your craft- thank you. Having said that I always get nervous when you bring that blade soo close to you face at times.

Love the bear, my grandson will love it too. Thanks Doug. p.s. the crickets were a nice touch!!

nice video thanks woul make a nice hiking stick topper

Thanks for including the millimetre equivalents.

Great shit doug

Hello. Those amazing beautiful and much better than those made in Finland. Thank you. Have good day. Matti

I love your videos. I'm new and you were recommended by Chipping Away. ❤

DAAAA BEARS! 🐻⬇️

SOOO cute. Maybe you can make the tree stump look like it is hollow and show more of the bears backside?

Thank you great fun. My dowel I bought is getting shorter😂👍

Doug, I am starting to see an owl/bear chess set trend with those bases 😝 just kidding. Looking good and it’s a good thing you wasn’t carving an ear of corn, because I don’t know if you could have escaped all those crows. Having fun watching your carvings and simple fun ideas. Thanks as always for sharing👍🏼

We won't be getting sick of these, we look forward to them. But do as you go, this stuff is very entertaining and educational. Thank You for all these videos you do. Much appreciated.

Well, I’m going to try but what a laugh i had iver the simple lighthouse 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Bear you go and Bob's your uncle.

DOUG YOUR THE BOB ROSS OF WOOD CARVING 😉

You are saving my carving life with these dowel series, would not believe the difficulties to get proper basswood in proper sizes (and cutting properly in my little carpet covered apartment is not really an option)

David: If you're in the states Loess Hills Sawmill has great basswood and George will cut whatever size you wish at no additional charge. I have no idea if he ships outside the US but I assume shipping costs are a major issue.

@@garrettswoodworx1873 Thanks so much! But I'm actually in Edinburgh, Scotland. I imagine shipping basswood will make little sense, I find some bigger blanks but difficult to cut down at home. But I found a local community workshop I might be able to join and use tools there for this, there's hope

Hi Doug, thanks for the great videos. I'm wanting to do smaller creatures for my fellow chemo patients. I really like the sitting bear you did for you grandchild. Could you do a quick vid on that please? One other concern I have is finishing for immuno suppressed folk any thought on least toxic? My wife's a quilter and does small comfort quilts is what gave me the idea. Thanks Ed

I turned these into little hiking sticks for my two sons

Ty u Doug great stress reliever, ☺️ 🧐if ya used a square it would add more to the trunk . But great vid .👍😇🇺🇸

Yes as a square tree -once you knock off the corners its the same unless you start with a bigger piece which would be a great idea

Sorry to ask doug but would you consider doing a gouge tutorial please it would be nice to know what gouges you use for your larger carvings. Appreciate it thanks.

Thanks Doug, love the bears, I'm ok till the mouth, just can't get that so good, any tips? also think my dowel is Beech, it's awful hard. (Perth Scotland)

think I'll use a squared off basswood block Doug - I'd need to sell a kidney to buy store bought dowel down here at the moment. 😂

Hi Doug, you make terrific videos. Very informative and entertaining. Could you put out another video on sharpening knives? I'm still figuring out how to properly sharpen knives. My knives seem to have more of a fat, rounded edge, where the sharp edge dulls very quickly and the blade crushes the wood fibers instead of slicing through the wood. Can you explain to people how they can get a sharp V shape to their blade? And how they can fix their edge shape from a rounded edge to sharp V edge? Thanks!

Sorry but i only do stropping and power stropping -you need to reprofile your edge for carving and i am not set up for that

You could make a garbage can series, like putting a raccoon in the garbage can or a opossum.

💕🐻🧸

Hi there, can you tell me what kind of logs do you use for your carvings ?

Hi Doug, I am trying this but on a piece of basswood. Sure seems like when you carve,the knife goes through it like butter. Mine is extremely hard. Is this due to being a beginner or am I doing something wrong?

C’est Beau

On one of the previously carved bears (the tallest one) you have a knot on the stump. Was that an actual knot from a stick or did you carve it on a dowel? Love these videos.

Great video Doug but man those inner ear cuts made my fingers tingle… cut myself many times doing cuts like that, and break off the ears. But I guess if they’re tingling they’re still working so can’t be that bad!
