Please comment after watching and keep it family friendly haha😜 -thx guys

Oh yes, you are very talented - both artistically and intellectually because you are willing to keep learning. I'm an old woman and whittling away my time is the only carving I do. You bring me great joy via your talents and your sense of humor. Thank you.

The talent is not in the hands. It's the "vision " in your head. That's what sets you apart.

Vince Lombardi said "Practice doesn't make perfect...Perfect practice makes perfect" ....lol..this is great Doug The talent God has given you is well served.....Thank you my friend......Paul in Wisconsin

You went from a big beep beep to the other side with the punk spot and ended up with a fine piece of art for the yard. Good job, better recovery!! Thank You for sharing!!

Doug, your small carving videos caught my attention and your camping videos kept my attention and have shown a southern guy the beauty of the great north. Hope to make it to Canada one day or at least the UP. I’m dabbling into small wood working after being a sports guy since 5th grade. Love your lingo...”She’s a beaut” and That’s crazy”. Glad God didn’t make us all talk the same. Thanks for sharing your part of the world. It’s absolutely beautiful. By the way, truly enjoyed the mission trip video too.

Geeze! You do have it in your head! Always great to have coffee with you. Great company. Thanks again.

Doug you are very talented in whittling, carving or whatever you want to call it, You are humble and all but you really have a gift and although others might be able to do what you do, its still different because they are not you nor visa versa. Love your work and keep up the great videos!!!

3 years???? I am in awe! I just ordered some whittling tools to start learning! Thank you! 🙏

Perfect example of how carving those small 3 inch blocks lead to bigger skills. 👍🏻

WOW... Doug ... you say your not talented,,,,,, but take it from this OLD 75 yr old you are :)))) Love the mushroom :))) even better after you altered the nose.... it is so great :))) You have inspired me to try carving/whittling :)) Keep them coming Doug YOUR amazing :)))

I have been watching your carving for a while now and have enjoyed it a lot..I really like your coffee time in the woods ones too.like you say if you don’t give it a go you will never know, I was 67 when I gave it a go for the first time.and it’s fun.I really like the chainsaw episodes,I might invest in an electric one so that I can do bigger carvings.Thanks a lot .keep em coming.

Yeah Doug looks real like old Joe Robinete when he has a grump on , especially around the nose area as he is always snorting and blowing it, so well done in capturing his essence!!

Nice recovery! Burl can be so fickle. Thanks for sharing such a fun project.

Yes love the carved mushroom with beard. Love the craft.

Got the bug watching your videos , now I can’t stop whittling . wish I started sooner in life . Keep the videos coming. I also enjoy the camping videos.

I set up a swarm trap in our upper field at work to catch honeybees. A swarm moved in and when I go out to check on my honeybees I always seem to spook 2 doe. They lay under the tractor trailer beds. I notice their coats are the same in color as you described. Beautiful. I love taking my lunch break out there amongst nature.

Amazing how you have the forsight to turn a problem like the rotted nose into a boon like textured cheekbones that compliment the smaller nose. Brilliant!

Nice save in the end ! Now you got to make him a few buddys to hang out with around the camp fire!

Great carving, Doug. Good call on that nose. If you ever run across punky wood like that, Git Rot does a good job for non-structural repairs. The new nose turned out great, just thought I would mention it for any future issues.

Love your talent. Im an almost 72 y.o. woman & am very inspired by the woodwork & want to get started myself...lol. love your easy manner as well.💙

Awesome! You may not accept that you are talented, but please accept that you and your work are inspirational for we budding carvers. Thanks for sharing Doug!

Its always fun to watch a guy (bearded) having fun. I watch all your videos with my wife and son and thats real fun when I see that they enjoy it too. Keep it up doug, keep rolling out the fun stuff.

"You can't always fix stupid but you can fix wood" haha thats a good one

It turned out just great and your process helps a lot. Never give up and think outside the box (or the nose). Thanks for the fun education.

Nice project. Good idea for my beginning carving journey. Mushroom man. looks great in the garden. I will never pass up a burrel on a log again.

He ended up great. You did a good job fixing him up. As always job well done.

With his new nose, he looks so much like you Doug. Lol. Excellent job, as ever.

Well done Doug and a really nice save on the nose. Thanks for sharing Ernie

Pretty Wild! I am so glad to see at the end you changed that nose. In the beginning at 5:06 I was thinking...Ummmmmm it looks a little more like, well, a different part of the anatomy. Good call! :) LOL

What a great way to spend the day. Love your work Doug!!

You share with us who you are and I very much appreciate it. Thanks and Blessings.

Geez... I was cringing with you when that nose was punky... that sinking feeling like what have I done... But I have to say that you were right Doug.. that looks so much better now! You definitely pulled it off! Awesome project! Really makes me wanna try this.

Oh, that bearded mushroom man is just too cute! Well done!

Lol regarding the giant "nose". I was glad when you brought it in the house for a reduction. I had a few good laughs over that.

I think that the Mushroom ended up great. Worth a lot more than a thumbs up!

I have a fellow carver who only carves at a festival once a year. She does okay. But needs to be directed closely by an instructor with a blank. Never ventures on her own. I more enjoy grabbing a piece of cotton wood bark and start carving away. House, wood spirit, light house, wood will tell me. As we were walking in rural PA at a carve fest I asked her what she sees. "Sticks and Rocks". I see faces, animals, and stuff. She doesn't understand. I explained to her, I'm not sure what is going on in my head but we're having a blast!

Doug your carving is an inspiration.

I really enjoy watching all your videos. You really very talented in all aspects, Carving ,cooking , bushcraft, fishing and many other things I'm sure. Keep up the good work.

With such a big nose he had a character. But finally he's looking nice. You are truly master in carving with a knife as well with a chainsaw.

I love the mushroom looks little like" Doug Outside " Cool video, Thank you.

I only have one word to say... AWESOME !!! You should name him Father Mushroom and carve him a wife and 3 kids.

He had a really cool nose, and forehead line, all ready established, until your second cut, just a pointer try working with the shape provided, and just clean those features next time. You still did fine, but it would be cool to see something less forced. Keep up the good work!😊

not happy? change it! wise words Doug... however I am very happy with this carving and coffee, so no changing needed!! keep 'em coming

Doug you are amazing, you look better with the smaller nose, no ponoko nose. Enjoyed the video. Have a great day!

God has giving you a very good talent... God Bless you! Love all your videos.

Even watching you drink coffee sitting on a log turned out to be interesting !

Doug they change the name of Big Bird to yellow Bird on Sesame ST because someone had a wild imagination, the first nose was awesome, it looked like a big nose, i got a big nose and i love it and if i change my nose it not me anymore,i just love your vids .Take care, Stay Safe,God Bless.

This video was absolutely amazing. The mushroom-man with burl-d- 👉 nose to new nose was cool to see how you did that. 👍👍

You are such a great artist. Love watching you. Like how you fixed hose “nose” lol TFS

Nice job Doug. As usal you gave life to a piece of log. Amazing wood working skills.

Nice recovery from the punky part ....great video as always Doug.....from Midland Ontario Canada

I've been carving for a few years now glad to see I'm not the only one that has the obvious pointed out to them after I I think that I finished 😂😂keep up the amazing work 👍

That was funny. Also a great save on a very interesting project; Thanks for sharing

The chainsaw carving came out great! Hope you make more of them.. cool new battery saw!

Really great job from start to finish Doug! I am really glad you stuck with it & was able to do restructuring surgery on the big guys nose. Thanks Doug for sharing.

Great video,love the carving...you have an eye for art...thanks for sharing!

I love the way that you fixed the nose! Your carving is really good for only three years.

lol...thanks Doug...never ever change....you help keep me young.

Thanks Doug !!! I had some melanoma surgery this morning and your video made me laugh. Glad you resolved the "beep beep" nose LOL I need you to carve me a top left ear but I don't want it to look like a "beep beep" Thanks again !! haha

Great save Doug! Enjoyed the heck out of this one...

That's the best beard and nose I've ever seen on a mushroom 🍄

I love your videos! All the different shots, angles, and editing you do is fantastic. I never even thought to try out whittling but after watching a few of your videos, I bought the tools and made a little bear and fox. Super cute! :)

awesome Doug, it made me go out and have a coffee ! Thanks Alex

Great save.... never give up.... Well done! Always fun

Love your videos Doug . Another great one, thanks . ✌🏼☀️🌴

Thank you for sharing . You are an inspiration. I have several crafts and hobbies that I do because I liked it and "gave it a go". This will be the next one I participate in. (Small stuff. The chainsaw will come later)

YES!!! Another Carving and Coffee! Haven't even watched it yet and already know I'm gonna love it. Thanks, Doug.

That was a great recovery with a great outcome. Will visit again. 🤘

You really do have talent. And a great I imagination. If I looked at that burl I would never had seen a nose. I look forward to see what you come up with. God bless stay safe. ♥️🇺🇸🌹

Another low key FANTASTIC video!

Loved the intro and the 'sticktoitness'. Another great vid, keep'em coming!

Very nice Doug. I enjoyed this a lot. Very therapeutic thank you

What a great lesson Doug. You didn’t give up & ended up with a better end result! (First nose was pretty funny 😄). Can’t believe you’ve only been carving for 3 years. You’re a pro...really impressive! 👍🏽

Wow it looks great!!! You have to have strong arms I would imagine to carve that large. Great job! Nice music with it as well.

It so neat to watch you do what you do with carving. Very talented!

Hilarious ending! Cool to see that one of the “Canadian Fantastic Four” that I watch (Joe Robinet, My Self Reliance, Drenalin and you) has such a cool talent (and sense of humor)!

Looks great...talk about coincidence three years ago I signed up for my first ever carving workshop...something I always wanted to try...glad I did, what a wonderful rewarding hobby.

Nice. My son chainsaw carved a 5’ face in a maple behind my house... no big nose but a piece of art non the less. Thanks for sharing this project with us

Keep up the great work Doug love and respect from New Zealand brother

Yep... You can fix wood... lol Another fun video Doug.

Yes ! MORE PLEASE ! I think it would be cool to see how many more you could get from the same tree ? Anyways awesome video !

Awesome video! I think he looks much better with the smaller nose. I'm glad to see you enjoying your electric chainsaw. I love them too! Keep the videos coming! I'm always looking forward to the next one!!

Love the video Doug. I'm hooked on you and Joe. Actually, all you guys. Drenalin and Reliance. Loved the trip you guys did together. Props from a fellow Ontario guy from Thunder Bay!

Love your channel Doug. Greetings from Kentucky.

You’re too humble, you’re very talented. Love the carving and your modesty.

Amazing sir!! Beautiful work as always. I'd love to own one of you little people carvings!!!

I was thinking the same thing and saying to myself, "I can't believe he doesn't see that!" Really well done on the save though! Throw a few shots of gray in the beard and you've got a mighty fine self portrait.

Awesome Doug! That is so cool looking, Great job!

Wonderful video & advice. Thanks, Doug.

That Rhinoplasty you performed, made him look a lot more like you. ;-)

Aaaawwww Doug I loved that nose, it was nature, just a shame it was full of snot at the end. If your not talented, you sure are gifted. Thank you for all the untalented (never) videos and lessons, I really do enjoy watching them and I'm really learning a lot. Slàinte Mhath!

Looks great man. Just wanted to say thanks for geting me in to carving

"Can't fix stupid, but you can fix wood." hahaha love it! After changing it, I think I like it much better!

I'm always inspired by those who sees beyond the "what is" into the wonders of the "what can be." Thank you again for sharing your talent in wood and words.

Great save, Doug!

I so like your videos, Doug ... from New Zealand!!

I had the nose thought early in the carving. Good one for persevering. Oversights happen when I'm woodworking & it's rewarding when I work it out.

Hey Doug, it actually turned out better. Good work.

That worked out great . Keepem coming.
