    Hi! Im a 27 year old woman from Wisconsin and ever since I was a kid I wanted to wood carve. A dream once forgotten but now I'm taking a hiatus from my other lived hobbies and I rediscovered wood carving! Your video is one of many I've watched in the last few days. However, your video is my favorite for the simple fact that I feel like I'm right there next to you, enjoying coffee, the sounds of nature and just hanging out with a buddy. Great video sir! I can't wait to look at your other videos!

    I started carving when I watched Paul Sellers sharpen a chisel and carve a spoon. I had an old beat up chisel that I always thought you had to have a hammer to use, but I had a stone so I set about learning to sharpen it. Sure enough, I got the edge so that you could just push it thru the wood. Wound up carving a spoon that day. I was hooked, tho never thinking I could carve anything else. But I saw Mary May do some relief carving and I figured I could do that. Ordered some neat Pfeil chisels and had some fun for a while. But then I saw you carve a wood spirit if I remember correctly and you made it so plain and simple I got me a block of wood and tried it but quickly realized I did not have the right tool. You recommended a Mike Shipley knife you used on that carving. I ordered one and what a dream that knife has been. I have enjoyed trying many of your carvings since then (it's been a few years now), some I did better on than others, but I enjoyed the process no matter if I succeeded or not. Carving is so peaceful. And you learn with each one. Lowers the blood pressure lol! Thanks Doug. You've inspired many of us! By the way, the Shipley has never been on a stone. It was razor sharp the day I got it, and just a strop, and it is razor sharp again. I have since ordered some different ones and they are OK, but I love that Shipley knife! It is still my favorite. Guess what, I just watched a bit further, and it appears you are using my Shipley in this vid! What a great knife.

    Doug, I'm not sure if you read the comments on your videos but you have helped me tremendously! I've been struggling lately with life junk and its really cluttered my mind and caused me to seep back into a depression state. Carving has helped me declutter my mind so much!! It started with one of your videos, the sounds of the wood being carved and your amazingly calm and peaceful demeanor really spoke to me and i've been carving in my free time lately. It has really helped my mental state in a way I never expected. So, thank you so much for what you do, it goes much farther than you might think! Keep it up and stay peaceful!

      @@marca5883 Your right there is! But they're all very very small and insignificant compared to what Doug has around him. UK forests are in poor condition meaning they don't always have a thriving ecosystem from the smallest insect to the largest mammal. They often have large roads cutting through them also. Did you know we're the worst country for tree cover in the whole of the G7 countries. It's about to get alot worse aswell with all the large infrastructure projects these busy bodies are passing through aswell as the cost of living crisis that's caused a rise in log burners which guess what = more trees for the chop.
