    You were the first person I ever watched carving and with your help, I am now totally addicted to the craft. My pieces don't come out like yours, but I have had great satisfaction with the skills you have taught me... Thank you for your time and patience to produce such valuable content. Oh and thanks for the Hatchet tip... Worked like a charm... Easier than batonning ! LOL!

    You are just awesome, I started out watching your videos and now I watch many others as well, but you're easily my favorite...every time you put something out I can't wait to watch it. Thank you for always sharing your experiences with us, no doubt you spend countless hours editing, thinking of ideas and sharing for the benefit of everyone else. Appreciative of what you do, and I am now proudly a carver for life thanks to you for giving me the confidence to start and not be afraid of it!

    I have no idea that I needed whittling in my life. And I have no idea how I got to this part of KZread. But I am thankful and LOVE your videos. I'm about to buy my first set of wood and a small kit with knives and gloves and stuff. I need to make something!! And I have no creative bone in my body. I'm hoping that I get to the point where I'm willing to show people my projects.

    Hi Doug, just give your carving a quick shot of matte clear after the color, then water down some brown-black paint brush on and wipe off quick, that's what I use on my decoys.

    Doug! I find lots of your carvings are good and inspire me to give some a try. I don't follow exactly as you do them. Take my license where I can here and there. But I do credit you for really giving my that push to get me carving wood. Folks ask me if I power carve like with a dremel. I shutter and say NO. Traditional tool carving only, knives, gouges, chisels, time and effort. Most come out as I expected them too. Some have not but I call those pieces "not finished yet"! Tha ks for giving me the basics and pushing me on.I started with a flip out razor knife and a woodspirit face on a redwood walking stick from the Redwood forest out in California. Using your method it looked like something. So I bought a cheap Ukrainian carving knife and have not looked back. I find stuff to carve everywhere now but always find somwthing on hour channel. While East river South Dakota gets good amounts of cottonwood bark we over here in West River don't. So I have carrot man but no base yet to drop him into. Someday I'll score a chunk of bark from east river and finish him off. I have been doing what I saw Denis Stallings cLling a stylized Owl, I have done three now, they come out pretty cool.i usually post pics of them on my facebook page. Check them out sometime. Your a good guy Doug, you help lots of folks. Good for you! Thanks Jeff Moak in South Dakota.
