The Bob Ross of tree carving 💕
Fantastic carving
Fabulous job! Greetings from Guayaquil - Ecuador 🇪🇨
Its brilliant Doug.
Wow Doug you have come along way
That’s incredible
I watched this video twice and it inspired me to do a wood spirit on my walking stick.
Simply brilliant Dough. In my eyes this is one of your very best. Beside the fact when you scared the hell out of me in the very beginning using the draw knife but once again you had a plan
Needs a hat 🧢 like yours.😄🙀 thanks 🙏🏻
Doug your channel has taught me how to carve - thank you
That’s sick. 😱
There's something satisfying about traveling with you through one of your projects. Thanks for sharing your creativity, your art.
Nice video. Thanks 👍🏻
I think Doug might be transcending into the very wizards he creates. He’s just at his humble apprentice stage right now.
That, is really great. 👏
Wow - I just witnessed something truly amazing!
Magnificent! Quite an artist!
Closest I have come to doing something like this to a tree on my property was with a chainsaw. I cut apart two trees growing from one stump. Half the tree was gone but what was accidentally left behind was an owl at the base of the half tree cut down. Everyone that looks at it sees the owl. Only way I could come even close to your talent would be by total accident. Making nature even more beautiful, you are very talented.
So cool 😎
You are a very talented artist Doug!! You make everything you do look so easy!!
Nice beard Doug! If you keep growing it, youll end up as one of your gnomes, with the thing so long it trips you over.
Awesome!!
Did you have a mirror hidden in the bushes? The resemblance in the spirit is eerie! 👽🛸Loved the video💗.
Where I used to live, in British Columbia, there was a trail with these scattered all over. It was very nice and whimsical. the bark kind of heals itself and it makes it really look like part of the tree
I wonder how the sculpture ages. Does it deform as the tree grows?
I love it hihihi so cute 🥰
And the neighbors say honey... he's out talking to the trees again lol.Good job brother it looks fantastic.
Beautiful, Doug!
Oh yeah! So great to see a new Linker video 👍👍👍
A follow up video in a few months to see how the tree healed and carving aged would be nice. If all is well, then you earn the title of steely eyed carver guy! Nice work sir!
Yes please
The tree died of sap hemorrhage. Great job.
@@1776adb your mother
@@1776adb I heard it was a sap heart attack.
There is a solution to put over the carving so the tree wont gethurt by bugs and critters not sure what its called but sure it could be found on google very nice work doug
Hi Doug ,That turned out great ! I really liked the burned in affect with the oil. As always nice job !
Beautiful work!
Great video and great instruction as always!
kinda crazy to see how many people in these comments think trees are super delicate.... they can survive lightning blasting chunks off them, fires, splits, holes etc... a little shave like this is never going to kill a healthy tree.
So glad to see you Doug. Been worrying that you might have been affected by the fires....
Loving the wood spirit, think my battery is going to run out on my phone, might have to come back in the morning🤔 😁
Edit: made it! He is fantastic Doug, a true forest guardian. 🧙♂️
Outstanding Doug !!!! Now I'll be driving around Canada looking for that tree LOL
That turned out great Doug, will really look amazing once the greys start setting in. Well done 👏
That’s awesome Doug,makes me want to go get at the tree out front but nowhere near that sort of skill level,so will just enjoy and admire your amazing talent, thanks for sharing.
Hi Doug, I really enjoy your videos. Could you post a followup picture of how the tree looks after a year?
You're a talented man, Doug. That, is really great. 🙂👍
Fantastic Doug! As always, I was entertained and educated at the same time. You are a great artist and mentor for so many of us out here.
First!!! Fantastic, Doug as always. I wonder how it is going to age. I bet the older it gets the better it will look.
Pretty soon the tree will get tall enough that the face will be his height lol
I've said it about a thousand times Doug you are one highly extremely creative person please for the love of God do not change take care glad to see you got a video out way how busy things can be I understand that videos Don't come easy I haven't made one in a while a long while again take it easy
Now you've started something I'll be out craving all my trees in my yard.😀You've taught me a lot on craver and you're the reason I started. Great job and love your home place👍
Amazing work! Whats the tree look like now after 2 years?
Yeah, I’d love to see how it looks now too
Hey Doug,
i'm from Germany.
You are so good carver , and i see your Videos always.
I wish i can see you in my life sometime!
Sorry my englisch is not good.
By, Eugen
I really hope you will update us on the tree's state. It's very interesting to see how it changes as time goes by.
Cool project! I hope there is an update video how it looks now after 2 years! :)
❤️❤️❤️
I would like to thank you for this video. I carved my first one using this video. I have a lot of practice to do.
Welp, out to the front tree I go. Great as always Doug. Thanks so much for taking the time to film.
Vandal, just carving yourself a friend huh !?
Well this is your last video so I will comment on this. YOU ARE BEST for me, I am 1 year of watching you and trying to repeat things like you.well I have not knives like that because in my country (Georgia)nowhere is this kind of things. Here wood workers only carv like religion things and none of them doing it with tools like you so mu dad make that kind of knive for me (he really knows working on iron) so now I have that one knive and trying to repeat your moves well I write this because I want to know you that .YOU change 15 year's old boy's life I am really happy of doing this things and my dream is to work with you maybe just only one time and have tools like you. LOVE YOU from Georgia and you are not one who is happy of doing this thing I am happy too to just watching on it and trying to repeat.i can't stop writing this text ...... LOVE You so much!!!
Have you ever painted one of these wood tree spirits with color like you do your small carvings??
Nice work and all but dude, you shouldn't do this to a living tree. At least wait until it's cut down
It was a pleasure to watch you create that characterful Woodspirit Doug, it always amazes me how perfectly even you manage to make you carvings.
Any chance you could revisit this carving and show us what it looks like now?
Man, I can watch and listen to your videos for hours!
Not only teaching the art of your craft, but in a fun and easy going manner..
You my friend are the Bob Ross of wood sculpting in my book.
Here's to many many more years of fine wood sculpting videos to come!
All the best.
More magic from the hands of Doug! Well done! I just hope the tree can stay to preserve this work of art.
Thank you Doug for introducing me to this fantastic hobby! I'm keeping my first five-minute wizard made from a small piece of dry and grainy firewood with a folding pocketknife, so I'll always remember where I started. I'm still not very good, but I'm making one of your bigfoot carvings now!
I've got a red maple in my front yard, Doug, if you'd like to come experiment. Don't tell Mrs WordsNWood...
That turned out awesome, sir. Really like to see it in a year to see how it has weathered.
Looking forward to seeing this mature over the years to come, so pls remember to give the occasional update mate
This video is amazing!!!! Such a cool concept. Keep it up Doug! 👏🏼👊🏼
I wonder how it looks as the years go by
Love your carving , love your chicken coup ( rather- henhouse) and just love your garden; and the little bridge over the fishpond and the sun dappling through all the greenery create such a feeling of peace and tranquility
Beautiful craftsmanship, watching you carving is a pleasure for me. I have so much to still learn. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Be safe and be careful my friend.
Absolutely beautiful! Like a tree from a storybook.... Speaking of, a "cartoonish" tree face would be a cute project some day... Maybe on a tree with a knot to start a bulbus nose :)
Wonderful work, as always.
Doug you are an awesome mentor because you find new worlds to expand into. This was truly brilliant. You constantly amaze me. Thanks for what you do here.
Complimenti bravo maestro 👍
Once again you never fail to amaze me. Your skill level is amazing. I only hope to beat half as good. Thank you 🙏
I don't like that you're carving into a live tree... it just seems wrong 😢
Guess you never watched the video where I explain why
Until you got to the mustache it looked like you were carving the old woman in the willow from the animated movie “Pocahontas”. Torching the carved face really made it look better. You might want to put something on the carved area to keep the bugs out.
Spectacular! I can’t wait to see it when it has aged! 👍🏻👍🏻
That is amazing, Doug. I just admire what you do so much. It was good to see you again. Merry Ann from Minnesota
I wonder how the sculpture ages. Does it deform as the tree grows?
No it doesn’t move the outside starts to grow around it
@@dougLinker thanks for answering me 🌳😘
What kind of carving tool set should you buy to attempt this? In addition, what brand of tools would be the prudent choice?
That is just Beautiful. It is always amazing to watch the character appear as you work on it Doug. The burning is a perfect effect. You are woodland sprite yourself, Doug. You may have lines of folks in front of your house 😺💖
Hey Doug, how long did this take you in real time?
A good half day
Is it a LIVE tree??
By no means do I consider myself a tree-hugging, snowflake hippie, but I have to say that I did find it a bit uncomfortable to see you deep-carve into a life tree.
That’s fine but understand that it is mine -this property was a cornfield 15 years ago and i bought and planted everything that is here
@@dougLinker It is absolutely fine. No critisism. :) Just me: Also when my son tells me he experienced something painful, I feel it.
So amazing to see it come to fruition! Thank you so much for bringing us along for this lovely creation. Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family. All the best!
Oh !...so that's where Santa lives !...
Talented carving...(ouch)...🌿🌿🌿
Seems alittle bit bad idea to carve an alive tree.
He said at the beginning that limiting to 1/3 the diameter preserves the tree.
Omg! You just keep amazing me! Also I planted gourds in my garden to make some Birdhouse gourds. Thanks for all your videos and inspiration 👍🏼💜😉
News report...... "man found talking to tree, says it was the tree talking to him"..... more to follow at 6 tonight. 6 news... "neighbours found man feeding tree coffee". :0)
Thanks Doug really turned out awesome.
Great video. I carve a wood spirit in a log near the size of your tree but looking at it now it so shallow. I kinda new at carving but have carved at least one of your carvings. Thank you.
Are you gonna do the follow up video on what happens to it in 1, 3, or whatever number of months? It would be very interesting to see how it changes over time under the weather impact
I should do that but will wait longer than that
Oooh, love to see it after a year!
Amazing. Please let us see it now!
Thats so awesome, Doug! Algonquin Park should hire you to re carve all the portage signs!
Victorinox does not make a Wood Carving knife that has two carving blades, a saw, and a large roughing blade. Blades that have 58 or better Rockwell hardness or 440 or better stainless steel. Just three slots (not sure what they are called) handles. that are rounded for comfort, with locking blades. Folded no more than 3 1/2 inches long. If all the carvers out there will unite and keep bugging Vicky about it, I am sure they will listen.
Fantastic! I bet your home has a welcoming feeling! Always a good vid Doug, thanks!
🙏 Namaste Doug, Receive Greetings from India 🇮🇳🙏
Great! Just last week my wife asked me if I could carve a face into one of our large stumps. I'll have to give it a try now!
I really enjoyed video. Made my day. the woodspirit looks great, thank you.
I love it! You are quite the artist.
I've seen these faces carved into trees... due west of the northern side of Lake Owanjilla...
7/ 2024 hey all we just cut down a Curly Willow FYI when its dead/ dried it is as soft or softer than Bass wood.
Is he going to survive that?
Should be just fine
I would TRY but somehow I just can't visualize a picture in my mind enough to keep it going to completion.
Dont carve woodspirits its not harmless things could manifest sick spiritual stuf in the night dont curse your home or person with this and fear God
