    Doug great video. Always the enjoy them. Like you said, always make them your own. Even if you make the same one over and over they will always be different, you can't always make them exactly the same.

    Nice!!! Your comment in the beginning, about size, was spot on. I spent a year carving nothing but the simple Santa's...42 of them, at 1x1x6. Then I went to carve something out of a 2x2x6...OMG, what a difference. That will take some getting use to. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks to you, I found in what spend my free hours now that I'm retired. Well... not that much "free hours" and not that much "retired" when you have two daughters and four grand-kids that ask for help int heir day-to-day duties, but anyway... any minute free is dedicated to learn, try, and advance in woodcarving. Thank you very much, Doug. Keep up the good work in your channel and never stop gifting us with your videos.
