-not a real tutorial but thought it would be fun to try my hand at another Woodspirit in a Cedar log -still a long way to go yet but i can tell you its better than my first -practice, practice, practice - บันเทิง
Thanks for the inspiration I am a pacific Islander and unfortunately the elderly men who carry these customs are nearly all gone I have retained our tribal designs you have given me a way to keep a dying custom alive to pass on to my children. Great videos
“The eyes aren’t the best.” As this chunk of wood peers deeply into my soul.
What don't u like about them?
Its like watching someone rise from sleep watching them coming out from the wood as you work. Just amazing to me.
I really like the expressions you put on your clever carvings 😊

Doug you're one of the best! You inspire me to get out in the bush and to work on projects at home... keep the videos coming! Thank you very much!
I like that you use a knife for so much of your carving. I grew up in Kenya, and remember watching traditional woodcarvers using just home-made knives (flattened and sharpened 6" nails) to carve their amazing tribal masks.
As you say, you can go a long way with a knife and a V tool. As a pro cabinet maker, I want to develop my carving skills so I can incorporate some carved details into my work - some grotesque faces on the stiles of formal cabinets is my ambition!
Love your clips and your work. Great stuff!
LOOKS GREAT TO ME! Thanks for sharing your awesome Woodspirits.
Awesome vid Doug! Thank you!! 😊
Love both the wood spirit carvings you've done so far and look forward to more!
It's fascinating watching your art come to life. Thanks, Doug. I really enjoy watching these.👍🙂👏🏾
I think it's great Doug, and the video was so clear and crisp.
Doug, in my eyes you are a real artist, it was so enjoying to watch. Thanks so much!
That was an enjoyable watch... seeing the piece come along in almost real time with little edited out. Thanks for taking the time to do this and to share it with us. Glenn & Maureen.
Your artistry is very inspiring! Thank you for motivating others by taking us along on your journey & sharing your techniques and talents.
So jealous! I may have to give this stuff a go because I think one of them on each of my post of my deck would look freaking awesome!!
I love your carving videos! Since watching your videos on carving, I have decided to start again. Thank you for that.
YOU HAVE SOMETHING MAGICAL YOU SAY YOU DON'T LIKE THE EYES TO ME THEY SWITCHED THE WHOLE THING ON BROUGHT OUT THE CHARACTER . I LOVED IT AND LOVED BEING SHOWN . THANK YOU TONY T
Wonderful!
Doug, you have been a real inspiration in my latent wood carving passion. Thank you!
Great video Doug, always a pleasure to watch a artist do their thing. Very enjoyable video.
Expert! So much character in your carved faces. A real pleasure to watch.
Beautiful creation Doug !
Thank You for sharing your video, and your amazing skills. ATB
Hey Doug. This was awesome---I just went out and got my first wood and ordered my first carving knives (be here Monday).
Loved watching your amazing skill and hope to learn much from you. Being a professional illustrator, I already learn visually--so watching you was perfect.
that and a honest thank you for inspiring me to get into this relaxing hobby, finally got one finished
I learned more just watching you work than a 100 tutorials could teach. Thank You!
Great wood spirit Doug !!! Hoping to get back to carving now that all my eye surgeries are done and have new glasses. Thanks as always !!!
What a wonderful stylized self portrait/sculpture! :) Thanks for the video.
Hi Doug, I just wanted to thank you for the videos I first watched almost a year ago, it's your videos that got me into Bushcraft / Wild Camping through woodcraft.
IT has been great and almost like an Epoch for me so thanks alot brother! Glad to see your channel doing well
Cheers from a South African living in England.
all the best
Thanks Doug. I’ve been doing small carving projects for a while. You have been very helpful!
Doug...you are amazing...thanks for the carving vid...beautiful job...you are my yoda!! all the best!
So much fun. Thanks, Doug!
Just started exploring wood carving and whittling and I've seen like three of your videos in the past 48 hrs. You are great! Love the work you do and the videos are so helpful. Thank you for taking your time and showing us how you do your work every step of the way. New big fan :-)
Glad to have found you. Your style is easy, and you explain well. Sometimes less is more. Thanks!
Fantastic carving --- looks amazing Doug. Thanks for the video.
You are a true artist Doug even though you a so modest and say that you are just practicing. Love watching your channel ! Thanks Doug Linker !
Your talent is amazing, Thanks Doug.
Absolutely amazing carving. He looked perfect to me. Thanks for sharing your fantastic talent.
Lol. Great video and format. FYI, I just culled three huge birch trees at my other property. Not sure how green you need it, but you're welcome to as much as you want.
Greener the better - I will keep my truck empty ,thx
Hey I thought you weren't supposed to move wood to different regions :p
I recall Shawn saying that he used to carve ducks.. I think you guys should have a carving competition and let the subscribers choose a winner
To keep it fair you should meet in the middle, Doug carves a lot of characters and Shawn has experience with ducks.
You must carve a duck man
@@Z3rty0n lol. Doug's way more experienced than I am, so maybe we'll put that competition off for 10 or 20 years so I can catch up :)
@@MySelfReliance More like You make a log cabin dog house and Doug makes a roof Ornament for it? That would be a fun 2 part video to watch :) You both have experience in different but similar fields!
@@dougLinker yep, Green is better
great to see this. Bass wood is expensive in the UK - for a 74 year old pensioner it is. Plus it mainly only comes in 1 or 2 inch square. My Staffordshire Bull Terrier insists on bring a trophy back from her walk and they pile up in the yard. Not a stick, more a small log. About 2 and a bit inches in diameter. I saw this post and chopped a few into 10 inches long. Free wood. Love your posts Doug. Keep at it. Ron UK.
Doug sir the ability to bring forth out of the wood what you see in your minds eye is totally amazing to me. I hope you and your 👪 had a great Canada Day 🇨🇦. Happily awaiting the next video. 🇺🇸
Like a Michelangelo of wood carving, releasing the wood spirit within by removing the outer layers of bark and wood. Awesome skill.
Great job Doug!!!! I love your way of thinking! 2 years from now you'll be the shiznit!!!! Not that you aren't already!
Amazing watching you bring the wood spirit to life with your carving!
God this looks like so much fun. Love your work Doug
You inspired me to learn to carve and I’ve been doing well but struggle with eyes and nose sometimes... this video helped so much! Love the carving videos!
How satisfying to hear those tools carve wood with the sound of a sharp knife through an apple. Excellent thank you.
Always love to watch your carvings take shape.
Thank you so much!! The V tool sharpening was so helpful also! Now, I know what I’m doing ‼️👍🏻
Dude... I have been watching and practising carving here for the past year.
This video has given me more than anything in terms of instruction, simple follow instruction me and no idle chit chat. love it to pieces.
Thank you for that, you have a new subscriber.
Thank you so much for these tutorials, Doug.
I’m a beginner, but watching you gives me hope.
Really like your channel!
I love what you do. You and Gene Messer are the best carvers out there in my opinion, hands down. I learn a lot from you, and strive to be as good as you, Thank you for doing this youtube channel.
Love, love , love it. Fantastic expression. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful job....I learned a lot about layout and rough removal as well as a HUGE amount re: finishing.
Really enjoyed it and my own can only get better thanks to your help.
Thanks and cheers from Canada North
Wow. Great job Doug. INSPIRATION!!!!
Nice work Doug. Love it and they can be quick projects for gifts.
Nice job Doug, you brought a piece of wood to life. I really enjoy your videos.
This is the best . I have to watch more and learn this true art. Fantastic!
The perfect content. Passion + trade = craftsmanship. Doug’s channel reflects and greatly influences my pursuits in life. 😁 may God bless
Thanks Doug. A very good and expresive job. Hope one next day this Wood Spirit will protect the long house you build. Amitiés de France.
Thats all you Got? Heck! Thats good enough! "specially with your munchkin friends helping you out! How can you go wrong.
And while I'm here, Thanks for your videos. It comes through that you totally enjoy the stuff you do and worry about what others will enjoy.
I feel you're starting to have more confidence in your videos and yourself in presenting them. Keep working at it. I'm 66 and totally enjoy your ways and mannerisms. And You Shawn and Joe just make me relax and smile. I got onto the three of you singularily and when i saw the three of you together Its like being with friends. So Thank You and I hope your sub base gets bigger and bigger as it deserves to. Thanks.
l love the spirit that you put into each one their so whimsical, thank you for the video
You Rule!!... Keep it up. Using your knowledge & it's working - Thanks!!!
I could watch you carve all day. So relaxing. Very skilled.
Aspire to perfection, but dread it as well. Celebrate your imperfect results, they mean you still have something to learn, something to keep you working towards. I really enjoyed watching you carve this and would like to try I've myself one day.
Great job !! You are a skilled artist for sure.......keep the knowledge coming PLEASE...........and thank you !!
Doug you have a true gift. My wife and I just celebrated our 32 year anniversary. We honeymooned up in Canada. Landed in Calgary, drove to Banff and spend most of out time in Jasper. Beautiful country... while there we picked up a couple of carvings close to what you just completed. Seems I can’t attach a picture here to share, hmmm, well thanks for sharing and bringing back the memories....
Scissors, snails, & puppy dog tails. Great video as always!
Looks pretty darn good to me Doug !!!!!! Well done.
Great video..it never ceases to amaze me how you can bring to life a piece of scrap wood.
you know you said this wouldnt be a tutorial but I feel I learned alot about general wood spirit anatomy and structuring from this video. Ive used both knives and dremel burrs to carve now and watching you certainly gave me some new inspiration and insight on how to better form certain features.
Once again, a pleasure, Doug. Thanks
I love it! I’ve been trying to carve wood spirits for a while now. I’m nowhere near your level. Good work my friend!
Outstanding work Doug . Thank you my friend
Brilliant Doug, thanks for sharing
Very nice carving Doug. I do enjoy it when you liberate wood from your friends.
I use cedar and basswood as my primary wood for decoy carving. So anytime I see another carver working in cedar it makes me smile.
I love watching you work, great video, thanks.
What?? It looks perfect to me!!! Awesome job Doug!!!
I so enjoy watching you carve. It fascinates me that you make such wonderful things just by looking at a piece of wood.
Excellent as always Doug!
Thank-you, Doug. This is so very comforting, during these horrible times. Peace and love, brother🇨🇦😊
Yes I'm just going back to re watch all the old videos
Absolutely gorgeous! You needn't worry so much about it being perfect. Anyone would love what you just created. Really inspirational, I'm going to have a go.
Great job Doug, great job!!!
this is amazing! love your videos doug!!
Your wood carvings are so unique and awesome. I am still working on the snowman, LOL. Thanks for your videos, you are inspiring.
I like how you always "find" wood lying around, ha!
Ah looks like he lives in the forest?
@@jamesgriffiths9125 I was making a joke as it looked like he came across 0:08 a cabin being built and grabbed a couple of pieces of wood, ha!
lololo,came out awesome
heh.. second video now I've seen... think I sense a pattern of branch theft :))
Looks great Doug! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Doug, I only found your site late last night ,making a strop and knife sharpening ,and thought i would look you up today. This has been fascinating,thank you i will look for more.
Doug another great video nice to see you caving again your doing a great job with your video's we are learning a lot from you . keep up the good work we can't wait to see your next adventure A+ on this video
Love, love,love it!!!! Eyes look great! I want one! Already have too many hobbies but looks like this could be a new one. Thanks man🇨🇦
Thanks Doug, love your stuff. Kevin does great eyes, especially for the larger carvings like this. I use a simplified version of what he does and they come out pretty good on the little ones I do.
Doug, I love to watch you carve !
Brilliant! I think you are a great artist Doug! Well done man! 👍😁
Thanks Doug, not started yet but this has helped me gain confidence to start. Thank you.
Im a simple man. I see a Doug Linker video, I press like so can i find it again, then i watch it.
You are humble, thank you for sharing your skills! It was really helpful
Love it!!! Nice! Always enjoy anything you happen to show us. Peace and Good Fortune to you and your family. I think it turned out awesome!
Hey Doug, I’m new to carving and I’m hooked. This video was by far the most helpful in just understanding certain cuts because of the size of the sculpture. Thanks so much.
Same here, I want to do something Viking or Celtic and have it in my back garden...
YOU ALWAYS DO A GREAT JOB. THANKS. WE MISS THE TUTORIALS. 👍🏻
Your carving videos are so peaceful. I’m excited to begin carving soon.
I love it! Thank you for your videos!❤️❤️❤️
Doug,
You are flipping amazing!
love your workshop and LOL on lifting the cedar from the long-house at shawn's!
Very cool Doug 👍. Take care and God bless ✌️
Thanks Doug, that was great!
