    @stephenpiper2052 3 года назад +43

    Yep. It's official. You can no longer call yourself a beginner woodcarver. This is literally the type of thing I imagine every time I see a hollow tree, or some gnarly roots while walking in the woods.

    I find myself coming back and rewatching this video every so many months. Would love to see a video showing how some of these carvings have aged over the years!

    This build reminded me so much of seventy five years ago when I was 10, watching my grand father building stuff like this. You remind me so much of him.
    He was a refuge from Italy before WW2. He also was super creative like you. Luckily I inherited some if these skills from him and my father. I have a hollow piece of a cherry tree that came down during Hurricane Irma.
    Been wanting to do something with it. Now I know what. Thanks Dough.

    You don’t need a RUclips channel you need your own TV show. The talent you have is unreal. Just loved how you had all the gnomes watching you as you worked. This I think is over the top accomplishment. Thank you so much for sharing and you probably did this in a day as I know how you can’t sit still. Lol😘

  • @johnduffy6546
    @johnduffy6546 Год назад +1

    That is absolutely adorable!!! I had my 11year old grand daughter stay over this weekend and I showed her your gnome door video. With a little tutoring, she was able to carve one in about 4 hours and still has all 9 fingers.

  • @morningdove3140
    @morningdove3140 3 года назад +5

    Wow! You're amazing. That's one of the best gnome house I've seen. I have a stump from a tree I had cut down last year a old black jack and waiting for it to warm up to start to work on it. I hope I can do a fourth as good as you have done. If I were your wife I'd steal it and put on my front porch. it's because of you that gave me the courage to start craving. Been watching few years now👍👍

    A general idea of what I want to do with one of the 2 HUGE tree stumps in my yard.
    Didn’t take them all the way down because my husband grew up on this land and played in the tree roots with his brother as kids.
    I will be borrowing some of your ideas!!! Thanks again!!!!
