Hi Doug. Your videos are the reason why I got into carving and why I subscribed to your channel two years ago. Love your style and artistry. I REALLY hope to see you soon. Hope all is well. Regards from Long Island, New York.👍 ~Ron
Hello Mr Linker, where are you with your vlogs, have you disappeared from the face of the earth, or do you no longer feel like it or are you completely snowed in Canada? I miss your vlogs or have you lost your inspiration
This is awesome! I hope someday to be even slightly at your caliber of talent. I hope you are doing well. I (and I’m sure MANY others) really miss your smaller whittles videos please come back to RUclips and your followers❤. WE MISS YOU!!!!!
Hi Doug, I didn't know didly about carving until I came across your RUclips channel but know I've carved a couple small hillbilly fellas thanks to you! Thank you for sharing all your awesome videos from Denton, TX
Perfect timing! Watching this is exactly what I want to do this morning over coffee before the holiday tasks. Merry Christmas, Mr. Linker Michael from Columbus.
Thank You Doug for all you do and the great video's seen and used worldwide.. All the Best Doug looking forward to seeing you down the road.. Cheers, Nick
Just phenomenal work. I guess there's no substitute for practice, but I'm always amazed by your "vision". That piece of wood needed to be the Santa it became. Amazing!!
Not my style, I'm still a potato and carrot carver in training. Thanks for the inspiration and simple carving videos. Much admiration for all your sharings. from Tammasse, SC
Hopefully, you'll get this done a little quicker and have time for your Christmas Doug Linker. You are my best teacher of carving Alex has great art talent, but he doesn't reach down to my learning level. I do think he is improving to reach my level or just hopefully my learning skills improve. Merry Christmas, and thanks for teaching me
Thank you Doug, For inspiring me and others to keep going... You are a most wonderful carver. Thank you also for taking your time and being so clearly articulate in your videos. Merry Christmas Mellanie 'Mel' Boone Pennsylvania
Thank you Doug.Carving this size wood gives us better understanding on how the cuts all come together, especially around the eyes, which is difficult to achieve. Great detail, looks realistic. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
HOW COOL. I’ve been wading into cotton bark carving lately to ease thumb pain and give those muscles a break. Cotton wood bark is a wonderful medium. I cannot wait to take a deep dive I may try to follow along with this video as an attempt
Love your works and your dynamic ways of sharing. I’ve been following you your videos for quite some time. They both teach and challenge. I enjoy using your vision and changing them up to make them my own. Keep it up my friend.
Absolutely Beautiful and SOOOO creative.....You are my hero in my carving world.....Merry Christmas to you and your family and critters, Stay Safe and Happy New Year
Happy New Year, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your channel. I heard a rumor you wanted a break from RUclips, I understand and hope you do what you enjoy.
Very nice. The fireplace and trees are a perfect touch. I always watch closely when someone is carving eyes and nose on a piece. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I love your videos and I wondered what happened to you so I stumbled on the coffee and carving thing add found out what you were doing which is very cool and understandable I don't make the sound like a nag and I fully agree with what you are doing but it would have been cool to have a notification of what was going on because we all miss you
Beautiful work. You do make it look much easier than it actually is. Some people say their wood is hard or their tools aren’t as sharp, but we all need to realize that you could probably use a box cutter with a 2x4 and still it would be beautiful. Your hand strength and artistic eye are what makes your work beautiful. Merry Christmas Doug to you and your family. ✌🏻🤍🎄
Greetings Doug - I'm coming to terms with no new videos. Sure do hope you are continuing to carve on your own. It would be a shame for the world to lose such a talent. Good luck old friend.
Hey Doug, I really miss you and your vids. Whats going on with one by one series or the silent carvings? I hope you are ok and in best condition. Hope to see u soon. 😊
@@RustWater I try but there’s just not enough good videos out there that our step-by-step tutorials to learn. They all move way too fast or the way they describe it is just too confusing it’s hard for me to learn
Try projects that don't involve a face since they involve more advanced skills. Maybe something like Doug's tree video he just came out with. I also pause the video constantly to catch up to where I need to be.
Miss you Doug! Hope you and your family are well.
Missing your wonderful videos Doug. I hope all is well.
Hi Doug. Your videos are the reason why I got into carving and why I subscribed to your channel two years ago. Love your style and artistry. I REALLY hope to see you soon. Hope all is well. Regards from Long Island, New York.👍

Hey Doug! I hope you're doing well. Take all the time you need, but just know us novice whittlers really miss you and your carvings! ❤😸
Hello Mr Linker, where are you with your vlogs, have you disappeared from the face of the earth, or do you no longer feel like it or are you completely snowed in Canada? I miss your vlogs or have you lost your inspiration
I saw that you are talking some time off thank you for all you have shared you have inspired me and many. Again thank you
That was absolutely beautiful. Makes me want to move to Canada and have Doug as my neighbor. Doug you are truly an inspiration.
This is awesome! I hope someday to be even slightly at your caliber of talent.
I hope you are doing well.
I (and I’m sure MANY others) really miss your smaller whittles videos please come back to RUclips and your followers❤.
WE MISS YOU!!!!!
Prenez soins de vous! Vous nous manquez

Fantastic work, Doug! And the bonus of hearing the wood go through the bark as you remove pieces is wonderful. Thanks!
Thanks Doug!! Great video and l can hear your mind while you are thinking of what tool to use on each section. Awesome
Oh my. What an extraordinary piece of art. Your skills are those of a true artist and artisan. Please keep sharing with us such wonderful carvings.
Not my style, I'm still a potato and carrot carver in training. Thanks for the inspiration and simple carving videos. Much admiration for all your sharings. from Tammasse, SC
I'm sure most here will agree when I say, you're developing into quite the masterful artisan, sir. FANTASTIC work!
Hopefully, you'll get this done a little quicker and have time for your Christmas Doug Linker. You are my best teacher of carving
Alex has great art talent, but he doesn't reach down to my learning level. I do think he is improving to reach my level or just hopefully my learning skills improve.
Merry Christmas, and thanks for teaching me
Thank you for the hours of fun and learning how to carve!!
