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.
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
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
Thank you so much Doug! Your craft inspires me. The therapeutic value i get out of your videos is so relaxing!!! Perfect video to end the night🌙!!! I will sleep well!!! Thanx again Doug.
I love it!!! You make it look so darn easy, I know it is not. Thank you for sharing! Love the Reindeer in the background. So happy to see what you are up to. I'm sure your wife will love it. Peace and good fortune!
HI,Doug i am from Scotland and i tried this a few years ago but it was a disaster turned out looking more like a gnome than a christmas tree and it is still standing in my garden.Great video mate,Keep them coming.
Wow Doug. That was amazing. Man you are a true artist with everything you do..from the little carvings to this Christmas Tree. Thanks for letting us tag along for the journey. Merry Christmas and God Bless to you and your family. 🎄🎅❤❄
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!
Your playfulness is key to your success! You have a great imagination and a willingness to fail...but seldom do. Does that sound like a fortune cookie, or what? Merry Christmas!
Wow ! That was amazing to see you transform a old cut off utility pole into a Christmas tree ! You are a true artist ! Thanks Doug and Merry Christmas to you and your Raindeers too !
Very pretty, great job! Those Christmas mini tree's would make for a nice key chain for collectors. Your arms must be strong to do that. Your hands might have been sore the next day wow!
Hey Doug, this is a sweet christmas tree! I love it. Well, the (rein)deer are cute, too! Very relaxed, as they walked by even though you were running the chainsaw... 😊❤ Thanks for filming.
You're a true artist Doug. I really applaud you carving that with a chainsaw. I used one for the first time the other day and I know how difficult they are. Excellent outcome mate well done. You're Awesome.
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"
wow, your talent never stops amazing me. I watched this video with my grandson ...guess what now I have to go by a chain saw.. thanks Doug... nothing but love from here,,
Great job Doug, looks awesome. You never cease to amaze me with your talent, it`s such a treat to watch your videos. Keep on keepin on Doug. Thank You for sharing your video, and your talent with us. ATB
Love it! Now you need little presents to put under it. You made that look so easy. I would have ended up cutting a chunk of the bough off or something by accident lol
Lots of fun! Very good for the first time trying this. Absolutely loved the reindeer! Really! They look so healthy and content! Would love to hear their story! Thank you!
Evening Doug, watched you talk about having “no talent” the other day and all I can say that’s fit for on here is “AH PHOO!!!” You have a real gift for butchering the dead tree carcasses. That Christmas tree would compliment ANY front porch, ANYWHERE! Keep up the nice work Canuckistani Hollander!👍🏻👍🏻😂
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.

Incredible work, Doug. You got the skills, Bro!
That's ridiculous! You make it look so easy. Well done, sir!
considering this was your first attempt I think you did exceptionally well congrats
Awesome. Really glad that I found your channel.
Nicely done. And I like your music instead of chainsaw noise. Nice touch.
Holy crap Doug!!!! Thats amazing! Especially since it's your first try! I love your videos you are a very talented guy really nice work.
Great job Doug. Christmas trees are like snowflakes... no 2 the same.
Such a great little Christmastree family!

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!

Outstanding. Total respect so gifted. Very ,very good ,excellent in fact.

Good video, and it shows the back of the tree. This helps me better visualize how to do the cuts, especially the first 2 cuts at the top of the tree.
Good work Doug! I luv it... 🎄
