The "Bob Ross" of wood carving is back with a good one.

I love these snowmen doug . At least you know when your wife is singing she's happy , and the old saying is happy wife happy life . 😀

I love watching your videos, each time i pick up on new details.

Thanks for taking the time out of your busy life, to share with us a new carving. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

They are awesome! Thank you brother! Now, off to find a poplar dowel 😊

Lovely little carving Doug. Love the dowel series. Keep them coming.

Thank you my good man for such a wonderful video.

Nice video! And...all Sophies look the same! We can't help but sing because it's such an exciting form of expression! 🎶🎶🎶🎶☺☺ I'm worse because I sing karaoke, I guess? But yes, there are worse!

Excellent Doug. I can't wait to give this one a try. But first, I must strop, strop and strop some more.

Really nice Doug! I expect to see these flooding the Facebook carving groups in a few days. Simple and fun carvings always go over really well. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!

Thank you for being The Bob Ross of wood carving. Therapy for doing what you love !!!!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing you out at Shawn James Place in the spring. Hopefully that will come true. Thanks for sharing the Dall.

Hi Doug, hmmm. I will try a few… 😊😂😁

I think I remember people carving little people out of the old wooden clothes pins. You almost have created what I remember as a kid. I think I even remember seeing them put on Christmas trees.

Brilliant as always Doug thank you. I would like to take this opportunity to wish your whole family a very merry Christmas and a peaceful new year.

That was awesome Doug thank you

Another great tutorial.👍

I will be heading to the hardware store tomorrow to pick me up some dowels! Thanks Doug for the inspiration!

Love these adorable snowmen. I'm going to carve some of these this weekend!! I have to pick up the wooden dowel rod now!!

@@Linker_Official Thank you 😊

Awesomeness 👌 👏 👍 😍

Great fun carving.I have dowels from other projects. And I look at sticks differently now👍

Doug, you and Alec have been killing it! I mainly powercarve, but in 2023 I am going dive into your channel and learn how to carve with a knife. Thank you for the many years of sharing your skills with the world!

Thanks Doug. Yes simple but fun love your ideas. Don't forget to take time for yourself this holiday season.

Thank you Doug.

Doug, I love your carvings. They speak volumes to the viewer. I'm particularly fond of the painted ones but you have some unpainted ones that are incredibly vocal.

Doug you were right these are a fun easy carve and I and my friends love them. Thanks for the great ideas.

I truly hope you do really well from these videos Linker? Honestly. First, because you seem like a genuinely decent dude, but also because I have got A LOT from them. You are an asset to the community.

Love to watch you be so creative Doug and thanks a lot! ✅✅✅😎😎😎🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

Doug, thanks again for sharing your talent with us. You enlighten so many lives!

What you should be proud of Doug, I hear your name mentioned all the time as the catalyst for starting their carving career. Well done!

Amazing as usual Doug. I could watch you for hours. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Thank you for sharing your talent. Let's have coffee. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thanks Doug, great video as always,, I'm glad you're still going,, stay safe

Thanks for this. And happy holidays to you and your family. Appreciate all your tutorials!

I’ve been carving snowmen until my hands hurt.. my wife loves snowmen so I guess I’ll be carving a few more 😂.. thanks for another great video Doug. 👍🏻

Thanks Doug…i’m really into that Watered down black technique…sooo good for shadows and bringing out details

Perfect Doug 👍

Way Cool 👍❗

If you would have been my teacher in school I'm pretty sure my grades would have been far better! Thanks Doug for another great video 👍👍

Awesome !!

Love your work and explanation of how to approach carving. I am watching every video. Keep doing what you do.

Sooo cute!

As always, Doug - love your carving style, and your instruction. So entertaining and educational. I also appreciate you carving with knives that are affordable and easy to obtain. Thanks!

A+ video Doug.

Nice one Doug

Thanks Kevin!

This is my easy carving Christmas project 😁 Thank you!

Just dig in!! There’s finally time, and this is such a great project I think I will! Thanks for your inspiration Doug. Happy New Year.

i remember seeing stuff like this when i was a kid, people would carve similar figures out of the old wooden clothes pins. Put them on Christmas trees.

Many thanks for being so inspirational Doug, love what you`re doing! About to start my carving adventure as soon as my knife arrives. There`s postal strikes here at the moment which is a bit frustrating but hey ho, patience is a virture. Greetings from England!

Love it. You have the best imagination to figure out these projects. Thank you.

Just came.back from the store and I've bought a 21mm dowel. Damn! I'll have to exchange it

Thanks for sharing your great skills! I came over from Shawn’s channel after seeing your carvings that you gave him.

Love it Doug wish i could do it all my stuff looks like toothpick

Doug another great video. It was actually better than most because of getting to watch something go wrong and how you calmly showed that it was easily fixed. I also thought it was very cool to have Sophie sing in the background. I luve by myself and while I enjoy the quiet, I think especially at Christmas time it is wonderful to have beautiful voices singing joyful songs. Also I thought the reason people got little dogs was so they could talk to them and treat them like babies. Never was really sure I have always been a big dog dude. Regardless it is always creative at the Linker house. Thanks for the tutorial, I am off to whip up a last minute gift. Merry Christmas to you and the family! Don't forget brother Carl either as I see you somewhat frequently on his channel, or at least some woodland creature that shares your image! Lol

Thanks Doug, I just finished my first scene using snowman. Pretty stoked how it turned out!

Gosh, these are so cute, thanks for the tutorial and Merry Christmas to you and your family Doug.

Merci beaucoup pour votre travail, c'est merveilleux de voir la naissance d'un personnage de A à Z! Ils sont magnifiques! Bravo! Joyeux Noël à vous ainsi qu'à votre famille☃🎄🎅🧑‍🎄

I'm new to this and really enjoyed making this love how you show step by step . Love watching you videos and can't wait to do more of them.

As I look at the wood dowels I also see not only Christmas/wintertime projects but those could be carved differently for every season. Patriotic holidays, fall time, Halloween.

I’m building a library/playlist of them

Awesome carve, I’m doing one now …..😊

Awesome

Thanks Man Merry Christmas

It amazes me how you can make anything out of a piece of wood! My dad used to "widdle" using cedar. He just passed on October 19th. We have a few pieces of his good smelling pieces left. Keep up the awesome work. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I will be getting a flex cut set for Christmas. So I will give your snowman a try. I have a work shop so I have a selection of dowels to chose from. Merry Christmas to you and your family.😁 Jim's wood shop.

Great work again my friend! I am going to attempt this one with a 1 x 1 and make it into a dowel shape..

Nice little whittle. Reminds me of one I done about a year ago, with a greenwood Blackthorn stick about 3 quarter inch diameter and about 5 inches long - based it on your 5-minute wizard. As you mentioned, it does tend to fall over if touched, so I've got it safely away from all of that now (can see it standing proud on the TV shelf, right beside the 'log' effect offcut that came from it).

That could also be a Christmas tree 🎄 Ornament.

Thanks, Doug Now my snow shovel handles are no longer safe from the knife!😉

I have a carving friend who worked for phone company in upper state NY. When they were replacing white cedar poles they said he could take what he wanted. He cut them in 1ft lengths then split them. Pieces ended up in ~1" diameter. From there he designed a simple face Santa with a tall hat & long jaggery beard. As the wood split like bamboo. Each one more unique than the last based on knot holes and curve-shapes.

Great stuff! These look great.....got some dowels left over from the last time 😁 Have to try some. Thank you for sharing. X Merry Christmas to you and your family. 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm glad you gave the Flex Cut knives a shout out because of all the ones you use they are the only ones available. Helvie, OCC, and all the others are back ordered into the next century. Unless you want to pay triple the price on Ebay.

Wife singing? Could be worse? Remember, happy wife, happy life.. Nice demo, Doug
