sorry about the whiteness in the wood on this one i wil try to figure something out if i do the same again
maybe if the wood is so white it would show up better in the workshop rather than outdoors. Though this was a great carving i seen how you did everything just fine. Ive been having a bit of fun myself trying to carve characters and just some other things I imagine up. Thanks for all the great videos and inspiring me to start a new hobby. Always love watching you carve you have a great personality and humour keep it up! cant wait for the next one 😁
Don't apologize. Your content is free & very good. Anyone complaining needs to chill
What about covering the table with a blue or green tarp for some contrast between the wood and table? When you raised the carving high enough it really stands out against the grass. Been watching for years. Love the channel Doug. Thanks again!
Your carvings are great!! BUT your skill with the knife is no doubt legendary!!!
I like these types of videos. I'm only about 3 months into carving, and still finding little ways here and there to improve my cuts. Your videos help a ton.
Thanks again for sharing. These look easy to learn from memory without needing to follow the videos all the time. Helps to build confidence. 😁🏴
Your the best Doug ..great little project and wonderful results .Thank you for sharing
You,my friend, are the Bob Ross of carving! I learn so much and you have great patience. Thank you.
As a relatively new Carver I get stuck for ideas.
Thanks for doing what you do. Your videos don't just give me ideas but I just want to watch you doing your stuff. So calming and relaxing to watch and listen. Great to see you at work creating little fellas that start off as a block of wood then ending up a little person who has a name and a personality.
Thanks Doug.
Beautiful little bear! Loving this carving ideas, easy and fun.
Love it. Thank you as always Doug!
Great video Doug. I start of most of my carving by making my blanks dowels. Just something I got use to doing..
Love these smaller versions of previous carvings! Keep them coming.
Thank You for your Inspiration and Information!
Great Teacher
💚🇬🇧🌱 what a great lil guy! I'll be carving him from a stick this afternoon, hope you're having a great summer Doug, live show with the better half, anytime soon???
And I like the way you talk your way through your carving. It just helps the thought process. And us to understand
Have been watching your videos for quite a few years now and still really enjoying them, thanks Doug👍
Love the dowels for carving,, they also have the square dowels, and I got the longest one I could find, and carved a chain very fun, thanks for your videos Doug glad to see you still making them...say hi to the chicken's for me..
Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night!
Thx Sir Doug, this shld be fun.
I love your videos. I'm new and you were recommended by Chipping Away. ❤
Excellent, I like how you reference the finished carving, very helpful! I must have watched your previous bear video a dozen times and carved 6 bears! Really fun.
Love your videos, so glad I found them. Keep creating and sharing.
Great little carve, thanks for this series, Doug. Always love your work.
Great video Doug!
Well.. after a long time of recovery due to heart surgery ... I'm back at it.. LOVE your tutorials and these small projects look to be just the ticket to help with the healing process. God Bless you dear brother !! ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much for the dowel carving series--I love these!
Love your projects Doug the bear is one of my favorite things to carve and the 5 minute wizard can’t wait to start these little guys and put them on the end of my chip clips 👍
I love these sort of carvings, I do them for my grandchildren. Thank you.
The kids must love your little carvings💕To me too!Like a living Santa who made the toys for the wee ones💕💕Bless you Doug for keeping the art alive😊💕
Doug, you are so cool and casual. I was holding my breath when you were working on the face. I was waiting for the nose to come flying off. Great video as always 😎
Thank you very much 😊
Awesome carving Doug !! Love all the Dowell carvings !!!
Thanks for your time
Another great one, thanks for your time Doug
Thank you once again Doug, its great seeing you do the bigger projects, but your easy small projects are always something special.
Wow, just WOW! Looks great! Very nice bit of f9lk art.
Thanks 😊very good instructions. 😊
Great project Doug! Think I'll give it a try. Really like these little dudes.
Love the little guys. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks again Doug for sharing ! 🤗 😎
Another great little carve, I will be giving it a go
Awesome video Doug!
Great idea for the Carver that is traveling or on vacation👍🏼
Fantastic stuff Doug, a pleasure to watch
Great project! You make it look easy. This is very encouraging!
That was a great video fun to carve. Thanks for sharing I'm so happy you take the time to share your knowledge with us.
Your connection with wood and the way you interact with it is amazing, I carve on and off making spoons and stringart but you're next level when it comes to identifying a personality in the wood itself. thankyou for showing me a way :)
Thanks a lot for videos of this type. They help me a lot, because I mainly whittling out harvested sticks.
Awesome Job and gonna keep carving away , and some day , my carvings will look like yours. Thank you for the motivation!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
I love it. Try this by putting the bear in a garbage can. We see that when we go on vacation in national parks. You do such a good job and I love your comments. God bless you.
Geez doug thanks again enjoying so much this project your hard work is surely appreciated I am getting so much joy making these bears and I think people appreciate them also. God bless
I like these kind of videos. Thank you.
Another great project thanks
Great carve and video. Love this little bear. You did such a great job painting them, I'd love to see a video on how you make the stump look so real.
Great video. As usual. Thank you, Doug
Love your videos. I learn a lot. Thank you
it looks so easy on you, greetings from Germany
Really enjoying the dowl videos. I have been doing mine with paper birch branches...so they look cute coming out of the tree
I love these! So cute. Thanks for sharing how to make them. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 😃
Excellent. Thank you.
I adore your bears!
Very good job at the tutorial. Thank you, Thank you.
Thanks Doug !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cute little guy, who looks right at home on the tree trunk.
Thanks for including the millimetre equivalents.
That is cool. I saved pieces of a pine tree we cut down that my kids now grown used to play in and around. I would like to carve them these so they have a part of the tree. Thanks for the tutorial.
Very nice Doug and thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩😎😎😎💯💯💯
Great help to a beginner - you are a master of your craft- thank you. Having said that I always get nervous when you bring that blade soo close to you face at times.
Bagus sekali karyanya.
Salam sukses selalu..
Indonesia hadirr...
Love it wish i could buy one
Thanks!
Love the bear, my grandson will love it too. Thanks Doug.
p.s. the crickets were a nice touch!!
We won't be getting sick of these, we look forward to them. But do as you go, this stuff is very entertaining and educational.
Thank You for all these videos you do. Much appreciated.
nice video thanks woul make a nice hiking stick topper
So cute❤️
First, I love your videos! I’m learning a ton. Just did this bear and I dig em
You could make a garbage can series, like putting a raccoon in the garbage can or a opossum.
SOOO cute. Maybe you can make the tree stump look like it is hollow and show more of the bears backside?
DOUG YOUR THE BOB ROSS OF WOOD CARVING 😉
Hi Doug, thanks for the great videos. I'm wanting to do smaller creatures for my fellow chemo patients. I really like the sitting bear you did for you grandchild. Could you do a quick vid on that please? One other concern I have is finishing for immuno suppressed folk any thought on least toxic? My wife's a quilter and does small comfort quilts is what gave me the idea. Thanks Ed
Great shit doug
Hello. Those amazing beautiful and much better than those made in Finland. Thank you. Have good day. Matti
DAAAA BEARS! 🐻⬇️
Thank you great fun. My dowel I bought is getting shorter😂👍
You are saving my carving life with these dowel series, would not believe the difficulties to get proper basswood in proper sizes (and cutting properly in my little carpet covered apartment is not really an option)
David: If you're in the states Loess Hills Sawmill has great basswood and George will cut whatever size you wish at no additional charge. I have no idea if he ships outside the US but I assume shipping costs are a major issue.
@@garrettswoodworx1873 Thanks so much! But I'm actually in Edinburgh, Scotland. I imagine shipping basswood will make little sense, I find some bigger blanks but difficult to cut down at home. But I found a local community workshop I might be able to join and use tools there for this, there's hope
@@davidsarmiento8925 Sorry, David. I was afraid you might be across the pond but it was worth a shot.
Well, I’m going to try but what a laugh i had iver the simple lighthouse 🤣🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Doug, I am starting to see an owl/bear chess set trend with those bases 😝 just kidding. Looking good and it’s a good thing you wasn’t carving an ear of corn, because I don’t know if you could have escaped all those crows. Having fun watching your carvings and simple fun ideas. Thanks as always for sharing👍🏼
I turned these into little hiking sticks for my two sons
Sorry to ask doug but would you consider doing a gouge tutorial please it would be nice to know what gouges you use for your larger carvings. Appreciate it thanks.
Bear you go and Bob's your uncle.
Hi Doug, you make terrific videos. Very informative and entertaining. Could you put out another video on sharpening knives? I'm still figuring out how to properly sharpen knives. My knives seem to have more of a fat, rounded edge, where the sharp edge dulls very quickly and the blade crushes the wood fibers instead of slicing through the wood. Can you explain to people how they can get a sharp V shape to their blade? And how they can fix their edge shape from a rounded edge to sharp V edge? Thanks!
Sorry but i only do stropping and power stropping -you need to reprofile your edge for carving and i am not set up for that
Ty u Doug great stress reliever, ☺️ 🧐if ya used a square it would add more to the trunk . But great vid .👍😇🇺🇸
Yes as a square tree -once you knock off the corners its the same unless you start with a bigger piece which would be a great idea
Hi there, can you tell me what kind of logs do you use for your carvings ?
think I'll use a squared off basswood block Doug - I'd need to sell a kidney to buy store bought dowel down here at the moment. 😂
How about a racoon coming out of a trash can
Hi Doug, I am trying this but on a piece of basswood. Sure seems like when you carve,the knife goes through it like butter. Mine is extremely hard. Is this due to being a beginner or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks Doug, love the bears, I'm ok till the mouth, just can't get that so good, any tips? also think my dowel is Beech, it's awful hard. (Perth Scotland)
On one of the previously carved bears (the tallest one) you have a knot on the stump. Was that an actual knot from a stick or did you carve it on a dowel?
Love these videos.
I carved it in
C’est Beau
I've only done 2 simple carvings (followed your tutorials) but as I watch these videos I keep thinking you're cutting way too much off each time you make a cut LOL but you never do.
Also I find it hard to know what pieces need to be cut off to get to the basic shape I'm looking for - I guess that comes with time and practice...or maybe I'm not very good at visualizing 🙂
Great video Doug but man those inner ear cuts made my fingers tingle… cut myself many times doing cuts like that, and break off the ears. But I guess if they’re tingling they’re still working so can’t be that bad!
👍😁
