    I think it was Michelangelo who said that the images he carved were already in the stone...he was just setting them free. That pole remembered being a tree, and you have set it free to be once more. That’s a pretty amazing skill/artistry you have there! I love your creativity! Gets me more in the mood of Christmas cheer than I already was! Ps: now all you need is a Christmas bear, and a Christmas Doug!

    Now for decorations ? Put eye hook screws. To hang ornaments. Any small string of lights, just staple the cord around the tree. You are doing excellent work.

    Now that's a 🌲! Add a string of lights and put some small presents around it. The video angles and editing are excellent. It's a big part that makes your videos so enjoyable.

    Great job Doug. Christmas trees are like snowflakes... no 2 the same.

    Such a great little Christmastree family!
    What I love about it is, that every tree is unique and beautiful in its own way. As if you're just "peeling off" the layers of wood while the tree is patiently waiting for you to finally carve them out.
    Maybe that's why your "little projects" kind of have a personality.
    I love all of them

    That's cool Doug. It looked a bit like a pinecone before you painted it.

    I'm glad Michelangelo has been mentioned because it is recorded that he also worked in an inspired fury, right on Doug! You are inspiring me!

    Hello Mr. Doug, I enjoy your carving and fishing, you've wonderful skills for both and you input your joy into each of these adventures. Whether your throwing chips or a wacky worm you do either with an enjoyment to behold. Your trips with Joe or with Joe the dead weight pack at the front of your canoe are special as you two friends cut up so wonderfully together especially when trees (wood projects for the future) fall in the night.Thank you for sharing with us! Herb

    Man, you have a talent! My step-dad did carvings of little guys, etc. He gave some to family members and friends but wasn't interested in selling, he said its a hobby if I sell them its a job. I can see that, unfortunately he passed away a couple years ago. Love your videos Doug always a pleasure. Merry Christmas to you and your family...waiting for the next video...cheers!

    Funniest moment Doug when you started video showing the carved tree then the carved pendant then you say "well that just leaves one thing to do this old utility pole into a tree" I had to pause the video and thought WHAT he will be at that a year carving with his little carving knife !!!! but you brought me back down to earth when you said "Lets get the Cainsaw"

    You are an imspiration Doug! You made my entire year this year as I have started to carve, whittle and even tried my hand at acrylic painting which I keep getting told I have a great aptitude for. It was your videos that got me to try all of this and now I am hooked as I ready for retirement. Many blessings to you and the family in the coming year. Please keep the projects, excursions, and inspirational videos coming as well. Half my ancestors come from Cape Breton NS so Merry Christmas from that side of the crew and the other half hail from Trois Riveres Quebec so Joyeux Noel as well.
