Thanks Doug. Taking a Wed evening wood carving class. I finished a few 18th cent. type carvings and now I want to spend a lot of time carving caricatures so I ordered a number of these books. Can't wait to start.

Your going to do WCI good Doug ..So glad you are on board with them

You should do one for KZread channels too! Woodcarving Garden and Carving is Fun are super useful and they all have really unique ideas

I also like Syman Woodcarving (mostly video game or similair theme characters) and shows the whole process. It is sped up but you can slow the video down in youtube self.

Love woodcarving illustrated.

Wow I thought I had a lot of books on carving. Plus most of the carving magazines, plus chip chats you doubled mine. They are the right way to go. Thanks ps amazon has a lot of basic free books so far a lot of them look like the same book by different authors its really sad. Really pay attention before you buy

I was lucky and did some painting at a house. They were cleaning the basement and had a bunch of Woodcarving Illustrated, and they asked if I wanted them. I'm so glad I grabbed them because they do have a lot of good ideas, from beginner to advanced.

It's a great hobby better than anything for mood management

Thanks so much. Have watched your videos for years. This one is very helpful and I have several of your favorites. Keep serving us with all your knowledge, talents and dry wit. Blessings

Thanks! Your videos have really helped me to begin to create some decent looking carvings. I also love the painting demos. Layering really makes a difference.

Great selection of books Doug. A few good gift ideas there. You don't have one that explains the best place to buy basswood ? Only kidding....sorry, couldn't resist 😄

Awesome. Thanks Doug, I'm excited.

Love your videos, top quality!

Well I saw a few books I own in that quick montage...

I've carved some great projects from Wood Carving Illustrated and also from Fox Chapel Publishing books. I love when the WCI winter editions. They usually have some great Santa and snowmen projects.

Loved your video on recommended Wood Carving Books!!! Thankfully, I have many, if not most of them and like you, enjoy them thoroughly and often. I can only wish that I was half as good as you and all of these wood carvers are! Like you say...'Practice, Practice, Practice'...SOOO true!!! Keep up the wonderful work!!!

Thank you very much! I go to read 3:50 Learn to Carve Gnomes, Trolls, and Mythical Creatures, swedish carving techniques 7:01 Carving Faces Workbook 8:06 Swedish Carving Techniques

Thanks for doing this book episode, Doug. We have a huge used book sale coming up in two weeks and will be looking for some of your suggestions.

Good stuff Doug! Look forward to the next video!

Thanks for the video Doug. Great info.

Thanks Doug. Great video again.

that gnome book was the inspiration for my favorite cartoon "David The Gnome" and has been out of print since like 1992, I would love to own that book.

Rien Poortvliet ... wel heb ik ooit 🙂 That was my bible when it came out.

I just ordered my first carving book “Woodcarving Illustrated “ thanks to you!

Your respect for and knowledge of other carvers is very cool. I have a few Tom Wolfe books I like to reference.

Thank you very helpful will order the magazine! ❤

Thanks Doug! 👍😁

Very helpful, Doug! I have some of the Shipley and Hines books, but will check out the others. Happy Easter!

Thanks very much, Doug!

Started watching your videos last week, and I can't stop. Lol, I'm going to give it a try.

Awesome thanks Doug! 👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

bonjour monsieur so glad to see you ars still carving!

Thanks so much for putting all this together Doug.Just getting started, and am learning so much from your videos. Have ordered two of the book's from your list, to get started. Thanks for all you share. 👍👌☕🍪

Great video Doug, I have most of your recommendations, not always easy to get some of them in the UK but some I have got from the US. Currently working on getting a copy of Gnomes!

Thank you Doug

Thank you for sharing the video.

Thanks Doug, will see if I get some of those in the UK

Thank you for this.

Awesome on the books and Awsome on your carving bench looks amazing

Thanks, you are a great teacher and I love your videos. Have you ever considered doing a video on carving rolling pins? Thanks

Thank you!

I got a most popular collection of Woodcarving Illustrated the other day. 6 or so issues for $20. Was not a bad deal at all. I will look to find some of these you mentioned as well Mr. Linker. Thanks for all of those recommendations.

My favorite wood carver to watch. I appreciate all you do. Can you tell us how you made your work piece stand. What works well and what would your change if you did it again? Thanks

Thanks!

Doug, I love your vids and your a great inspiration….. your books look like mine, I have many,and neither of ours look like they have been opened lol. Love the you tube.

Thans for talking about Karen's book she is a great person and have carved with her on Tuesdays forservel years . I'm also the person who gave you the refrigerator magnet of the owl while at Steven's Point WI

I was searching for a new hobby. 71 now with some mobility issues so I needed an inexpensive hobby I could do at home and your channel popped up in my KZread recommendations. After watching a few videos I am hooked and am now sourcing some equipment and supplies to get me started. Many thanks 🙏

Aside from carving you will also need to learn how to sharpen knifes and chisels(Doug has videos about sharpening on his channel) , if you don't now it already. But once you master both there are no boundaries in what you can carve.

@@marcelmajercik8374 I have been watching the videos on sharpening so I will see how it goes when I have to do it. Going to get myself a decent knife so I don’t have to struggle with sorting out a cheap one. Thanks for the reply Marcel 🙏

I’m just starting out wood carving so this was very helpful. In your opinion, when you’re first starting out, do you think you should do projects that are smaller or larger? Which would be easier cuts? Thanks for all your instructional videos 😊

Holy crap look how many books he got!!! Wow

Wow! I thought I had a Woodcarving book/magazine problem

LOL, I have about half of those books plus lots more. I wish I had half of Doug's talent!

Good afternoon Doug Hope everything is doing well I see you're enjoying your carving Another awesome video

Well Doug just a thought but why not think about putting your own book out. It would be a combination of your videos. Something for beginners Something for intermediate Something for expert, tools, sharpening, types of wood etc.

Hi Doug. Great video. Did you know the book "Head Proportions Made Simple by Ivan Whillock" is being sold for prices in the hundreds mostly. I found one for around $30 (I live in the UK). It might be a great book but nowhere near the value being asked for it. Do you know of another good book for heads and faces? Judging by the number of people I have seen discussing the problems with head and faces I think this could be an opportunity for someone as skilled as you to publish your own book. Anyway, as always I enjoyed this video. Thank you.

One thing you might add is that Woodcarving Illustrated also come in Digital form for people who do not want to save hardcopy or want to carry info on their electronic media.

I had about 10 years of woodworking magazines, last December I went to get one with a Santa Claus carving? Lo & behind the entire collection disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle. Actually my wife threw them away without asking. Not the first time some of my stuff has disappeared and she swears she didn't do it even though I have the evidence on my ring video camera.

Ouch! That really sucks!

Would love to know your must have chisels for wood spirit carving for someone like myself who is just wanting to start carving Just to not waste money on things you don’t really need I’ve looked at a lot of starting sets at all prices but are they worth it? So what is the Doug linker starter kit

I already have a wc illustrated subscription. Does anyone know where I could buy up a bunch of back issues?

I wouldve watched the whole video of all the books..just saying.. i was interested. ....

I love everything you do Mr Linker & will support your channel as always but honestly I would never watch a video about books otherwise... You can imagine I don't have much room for books & magazines at home💚🇬🇧🌱 Helping algorithms...

Do you have a book out?

You should release each book review on a separate video or a short. Then at least your work is not wasted.

I used to feel pretty darned obsessed & embarrassed by the large mountain of carving books I own…& then I watched this video & quickly realized, “Hey, there’s nothing wrong with me, I’m as normal as Doug Linker!!”…or Doug Linker is as normal as I am!…..hmmm….one of us should be afraid. Very afraid. You guess which one!!😂😂

Good Lord, sure you have enough there Doug🤔

It is common for ppl to ask about your “favorite”. Allow me to disgorge my unsolicited opinion on the value of the value of talking about favorites. I don’t go for it. I harbor no Hatred of the concept. In fact I think ppl say it without really wanting to know your Literal favorite. It’s more of a conversation starter or a way to get someone who knows something to tell them about it so the next time the subject comes up THEY will be the person whose depths can b e plumbed for Their favorite something or another. There are a few more thoughts but I’ve already tuckered myself out and will save the rest of my thesis and findings for another session.

Sheesh, I can't believe how many hundreds of $$$ I"ve spent on carving books, VHS and DVD's.. I probably have 90% of what you've sped through and what your "hest" are.. I pity my kids when I die.
