My grandfather was a carver his whole life, I have shelves filled with his characters. He passed away before I was old enough to learn from him. I’m on my 4th carving now thanks to your videos. Thanks for helping me achieve this goal I’ve had my whole life. Thanks again!

Must be the father and the young buck. They look like fun and I'll have to try one. Thanks Doug!

Doug, you’re right about people watching your tutorials even though we don’t whittle. I like them as much as bushcraft and fishing. I don’t do those either. And after I watch I can run them again whenever I want to listen; while I’m working. You have such a relaxing soothing voice. And who cares if they run long❄️thanks Doug

i spent the hours before the super bowl carving this one along with the Dougman...i really thought i could not do this...i followed carefully...and kept at it...got it all roughed out...after hours...im up to the hair and face only...i didnt want to rush it...and mess it up...i really see the figure revealing itself now...i think im going to break KZfaq from "rewinding" Doug's awesome video so many times. I just want this one to come out good. I will continue tonight...can't wait till "quiting time" from work...which i now call "carving time"! Can NOT thank Doug enough for his patient and clear teaching...i hope he realizes how much we luv 'em for who he is and what he does for us!

I LOVE your Indian and your sense of humor Doug! Love your videos 👍🏼😉💜

I have to say thank you Dug after watching your videos I am hooked on whittling I have about 30 carvings under my belt and just put a big order in for some more bass wood. I always considered my self non artistic but this has truly changed me. Thanks again!

I've already told you this before, the camera position is amazing it's so easy to follow along. Thank you so much for sharing your life and little people with us.

I really enjoy your camping and canoeing videos, and the carving and coffee, but I love your tutorial videos. I know I'm not the first to say this, but you're the Bob Ross of carving. I could watch it all day. Thanks for the great mix of content. Stay warm up there this winter!

carving & coffee...or ginger ale, still a good carving and now the other native folks have a new friend, all living in Douglasville

I just love your carving videos. You say you aren't a teacher but I would disagree. I've learned so much watching you work. Your camera angles are great, your explanations clear and you create some awesome carvings. Thanks so much for these videos.

Doug this is such an awesome tutorial. Showing step-by-step is an amazing way to learn this craft. Thank you so very much for sharing. Brilliant tutorial.

This one is special. For my great Doctor that has brought me through he'll and high-water for ten years and I'm still alive. Almost impossible. Doug, you are the best.

Few things are more peaceful and inspirational than these carving videos. I do my best to replicate and in spite of shortcomings, love every minute of it.

A man of his word Doug you're awesome. Can you teach the rest of these bushcrafters. How to fish number one you're awesome fisherman. Just kidding y'all are all right love you videos keep it up peace out

These carving videos are always relaxing and enjoyable.

Doug...what i like about your projects is that they don't require a bandsaw to rough out...you start from a block of wood...just like many of us have to...THANK YOU! Tutorials like this are just SUPER for us newbies!

I have just started carving, brilliant tutorials so clear & easy to follow great job! Thanks Doug.

That's cool! As you were painting, I was thinking that an Elder Native would look great. Give him the silver hair of wisdom... Another idea that I was thinking of was to do a Viking Clan. Love watching the carving as well as the trip videos. Keep up the great work!

Doug, you are a great artist and a teacher. Love it. Ah! And the sound the knife makes when you carve!!

Thank you Doug. Another great tutorial and really detailed piece.

Beautiful carving. fantastic little fella. when he was at the rough shape stage he could easily have been a KING TUT. possibly a little fella for a future video?? stay safe Doug.

Thanks Doug. Truly enjoyed this video also. I am a beginner and have carved a lot of your carving videos and have been very successful. I would truly like to see a teaching video on the woodsman also. Your a great teacher. Easy to understand. Thanks again.

just watched that life off the shelf video was really cool and cute little story to go with it :) thanks again Doug sir

It's always great to watch people branch out and grow, keep up your work for the church grounds the blessings are flowing. ☆Aloha Doug.

love the longer videos! and the old camera is just fine. love the up close view. lol

I just want you to know that i was just about to give up carving until i watched your videos. You are a real inspiration and reminded me to have fun Thanks I'm back at it.

I think you are just amazing! A carver friend once told me that the figure develops according to the spirit in the wood... Looks like that happened here :)

Thanks again Doug for such a great step-by-step video!!! As usual, I always enjoy your videos, whether bushcrafting or carving! I agree with you, carving these little guys is sooo much fun with a quick reward that anyone can do and enjoy. Thanks again for sharing all your time, effort and expertise! Safe and fun bushcrafting and carving to you and yours ALWAYS!

Another great video. After making a dozen or so of your little guys and a bear, it will be fun to try this one. You started me on a really enjoyable pastime. Thanks Doug

You are the Bob Ross of wood carvings. Love the channel

Love it, been waiting for another carving and coffee video, but this will do just fine. Thanks Doug.

Very enjoyable to watch, thanks, Doug.

Those are so cool and the camera close up is the best one yet please use it just like this one on the future carving also the bears are the best too can u make new bears too? love all of them but can only see one love to see all the bear heart thanks

I loved this video! Can’t wait to watch it again, this time with wood and knife in hand.

Doug that was excellent

Thank you Doug for doing this piece. I was waiting (patiently :)) and you came through. Cool carving!

Carving is king Doug .

Starting to get a little cooler here in the northwest, time to break out the old knife and start carving with you again. I definitely enjoy watching your videos and trying to carve with you.

Hi Doug after trying for some time to carve a figure I at last got it. The basic cuts and so on. You r so right . So good on the stress levels and now I feel I have a new hobby. Thank you your videos r superb. Keep up the good work barry

Great craftsmanship you're displaying Doug! Thank you for sharing this with us. 👍😁

Doug! You’re the man! I love your videos. The sound that happens when you’re chip carving compared to mine is insane considering same wood and fairly similar knives. Keep up the tutorials!

Another great video. Doug thank you so much for all of you effort and creativity.

Thank you so much I'm going to watch this after my day is done. I'm so excited.. Yes...show us your steak Doug, Joe told me to say this to you. "Hairband"

Thanks Doug for the video. Me and the kids loved it man. "Life off the shelf" also one of our favorites. Video's are looking good man, thanks for sharing. Stay safe and good adventures!

My next project! Thanks Doug! I really like how you have it in 1 video.

What an exquisite tutorial Doug, you are very talented - that’s for sure! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge... 👍

Great video Doug. the more I watch the I learn. Thank You.

Thank you so much for this tutorial video, Doug. I just have finished my carving on this little native fella. Love it!

Great project and video. Thanks so much for creating and posting. Like both carving and coffee and videos like this. Just enjoy watching and learning how to improve my carving. Thanks again 😊

Thanks Doug for another great video! I really like this little Native guy. I always learn so much from your videos.

Doug, you are on the right path, thank you for sharing and teaching others. Herb

Super cool! I really enjoy your video and really like your native Indian. Keep posting Doug. 👍

Really liked this carving. And super job with the camera. But it sure made we want a stout cup of coffee! Thanks!

Thanks for another great teaching video and all the time you're taking to show the steps. Your pacing is perfect and we see just enough to follow along so we can carve it ourselves.

Thank you so much, it's a pleasure learning from you.

Doug...you read my mind man! love these and you have me addicted to carving lol just ask my wife! Good stuff keep up the great vids!

I love your videos .

Thanks for sharing Doug. You are an amazing talent.

Very nice Doug I so enjoy watching these videos. Thanks! 😊

You do such a great tutorial. I can't wait to get started trying my luck at it. Thanks.

New subscriber. I binge watched 5 hrs the other day !!

I am just starting to carve and your video(s) are awesome. I really like your technique and will reference your tutorials as I progress down the trail of carving. Thanks!!!!

Thanks Doug....I like these carving videos

Hey Doug, just wanted to message you to say thank you for inspiring me to take up whittling. It had helped me focus whilst the world has gone mad. Today I followed you tutorial for carving a native indian. I surprised myself how well it turned out.. Thanks again. From Tom. Yorkshire, UK..

Best tutorial video you have done yet Doug, it was nice going from section to section and mostly finishing it instead of jumping all over, made it much easier to follow along and gave a better idea of what the finished section was to look like, I really enjoy carving along with you in the video, I'm pretty new at this, only a couple months but you help a lot

Always enjoy your videos and your carvings. Giving me the bug to get out the knives and carve again

Damn, he just slices right into it like it butter!

You have a amazing gift to be able to carve like you do I enjoy watching .great video

Thank you! I have begun carving and am having a ball! I have enjoyed your teaching.

Great job Doug. Love your videos.

Great carving Doug, thanks.

Thanks Doug. You continue to inspire me.

That's awesome. Great 1 Doug!

Love your videos. The step by step are great and easy to follow.

Another great video Doug

Awesome Job Doug !!!

Great vid Doug . Thanks have a good one .

Right on Doug 👍 added to playlist

As always, that's an awesome little guy! Thanks for this!

You knocked it out of the park again! Really great tutorial. Camera angles, close-ups and your explanations throughout are spot on.

Awesome tutorial Doug. Have an awesome weekend, Andreas 🇸🇪

Great video Doug

Thank you fore grate inspiration. I love all your characters,. They are great and easy to do. Greatings from Norway

Really enjoy watching your stuff. I actually got a knife and glove and going to give carving a shot! Thx for the inspiration and tutorials. They help alot!

I love your videos Doug

Thanks Doug!!! This is fantastic!!!

Doug, I love to watch you make your little people. Because of you and your wonderful teaching I have started making some also. My frustration is my knives aren't sharpe enough. I started with Basswood but it is too hard, then I have been using balsa wood which tends to squish. I have bought a knife and the sharpening tools but now have to learn to sharpen my knife. You make it look so easy to cut pieces off. I hope to one day to be able to make some beautiful carvings like you make. I know it will take practice, practice, practice. Thank you again for your wonderful teaching videos. Ellie

Amazing tutorial as always! Please do more they are great..cheers!

Thanks Doug , Now , "Show us ya Steak" , B'coz The Joe did nominate you , Thank you .

Doug your a true talent... Love your work and you videos :) Keep up the great work....Amazing

Nice tutorial. I really enjoyed the video of the male and female meeting at the native camp.

Thanks Doug, Hello from Turkey. like your videos and watching them carefully. Your art is so nice.

Great Vids Doug! Have a great day!

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks so much!

Really liked this one Doug. I know what I’m doing this weekend. Looking forward to the break from carving little Christmas guys!

Thanks Doug !!! Pumpkin was a birthday gift and the native will be a Thanksgiving gift. Thanks for helping an old guy on a tight budget LOL

Very good Doug I enjoyed it. Thank you
