    I'm a newer watcher and am very impressed with you and your carvings. The first video I watched I thought "This guy is ths Bob Ross of the carving world."

    Searching for the proper word for your carving videos, I came up “approachable”. Enough details to make it interesting, but basic enough fir us newer carvers to take on without fear. Keep’em coming. God bless.

    Doug, I'm not a carver/ whittler, but I enjoy your video's so much. There's just something about an artesian/maker work that has such a calming effect on me. Thank you for for the bushcraft vids as well, especially the ones with "young Joseph". They end up being hilarious.

    Doug I've told you before but man... you are such an inspiration. Your gnomes and monster guys are fantastic. I especially love the extra touches like a pickle on a stick and the ducky on a leash! Totally whimsical! These guys should have their own cartoon series!

    For any new carvers that think you need the rarer than Big Foot Helvie or Drake knives, look at that chip removal with a $25 OCC.
    Its stropped properly and in the hands of a carver that has done this hundreds of times.

    There is one cartoon character (pretty old) that would be interesting to carve but looks like no-one didn't do it maybe you Doug can try. A character would be Calimero cartoon from '70
