    Hello Doug, thank you for sharing your skill and wisdom. I really like your teaching style and if nothing more, just like to watch you create carvings. I'm 64 years old but not too old to learn. I made me a knife from an old sawblade that works quite well, but will order a commercially made knife anyway. With the help of your videos, I managed to make some wooden critters that are quite popular for birthdays and holidays. So thank you again! Cheers from Oregon - Peter

I've taken lots of notes from your painting videos but it would be nice to see your latest process for these little guys.

    Gr8 tutorial... as usual. My one complaint is that the majority of the video seems slightly out of focus. Hope that's something that can be corrected in future videos; although it is possible the focus issue might just be my tired old eyes;-). Your manner is so comfortable, yet informative, it makes even the beginner carver feel they can accomplish the task. Thanks for the inspiration!

    i bought a woodcarving knife and tried it with basswood.
    it was a cheaper knife to start with but can't get the blade into the wood.
    yet it is sharp.
    is a more expensive knife better?
    what am I doing wrong?
