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
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!!
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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. 😊
Miss you Doug! Hope you and your family are well.
Missing your wonderful videos Doug. I hope all is well.
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! ❤😸
