-todays little project is a fun little easy to carve mushroom.Starting with a block of Basswood (Linden)that is 1 1/4" square by 3" tall.The tool i used is an 1 3/4" Helvie carving knife and also a couple small Dockyard Tools which i kept calling Dock works for some reason lol.After carving i used regular craft store acrylic paints watered down and finished with a coat of Linseed oil but any oil you choose will be fine -thx for watching and if you are new to the hobby of woodcarving here is a link to my "Getting started in Woodcarving" playlist

Doug, thank you. I recently decided to go full time with carving; both power and knife carving. I live in a small mountain town in California, and am in the perfdct market to sell spirits, whittles, and staffs/hiking sticks. You and Jordy Johnson inspired my start into wood carving. Ive watched hours of your videos. Your way of explaining things, your attention to detail, both in your work and in your way of teaching and explaining, and your good attitude are marks not only of a master carver, but an excellent educator. Give yourself more credit - Your work, your videos, your encouragement have changed my life.
Thank you.
So nice, man! Same here in Colorado. I have a few new wood art ideas as well! AND can’t wait to go gold sniping in your area man!
I’m sooooo happy that you’re “back” , you were greatly missed 🥰
I started doing your carving tutorials with scrap 2x4s and a swiss army knife. I was addicted. Never thought I could! Now I am waiting for some knives, and moved onto green eilloe branches, as the 2x4 scraps were dried and super hard to cut through. Yoh made me for a little while, forget my osteoarthritis pain, and helped me pass the bear season time up here keeping busy in a super fun satisfying way! Thank you for that! And huge thanks for adding measurements into your teaching, totally have a ruler on my table! Made my first wood spirit set in full bark willow today, while watching your pole spirit being chiseled!
I just opened TH-cam and saw this video. I thought oh! I’ve never seen this one before! Then I read the comments and saw they were posted within the last 24 hours. It’s so nice to find a new video. I love this little mushroom guy, and I will definitely carve him
Doug I could watch you all day it motivate me a lot helps me relax and depression I would paint the cap red with white spots as I seen lots of fly agaric mushrooms 🍄 on my branch hunting foraging in woods 👍🦊🐾🇮🇹🇬🇧
Excellent video, thank you kindly.....just a tip for the black, you can cut off the wooden tip of a paint brush to flat and it will make the same size black spot in each eye just like the dot tool you use for the white sparkle spot only the flat with make a circle, you can buy the dot tool with flat end also, just quick easy eyeballs the same size
Absolutely Love your Videos! I am a very new "Newbie" and you're videos are the best! You are Calm, Clear, and explain what you are doing step by step. I also love the fact as I'm sure many of your followers do( of which i am now one ) That you do not play annoying music! Your little characters are a true delight to see. :) :) :)
Thx -don’t watch my newest video lol
I absolutely love your videos! I'm in the process of purchasing beginners materials and am chomping at the bit to actually begin carving my first simple project. You're very inspiring to this 75-year-old and widowed elderly man with a ton of free time. Thanks for sparking some excitement back into these old bones and sharing a gift that I should have started years ago.
I just started too. I love it. So relaxing to me.
What a happy little guy! This tutorial made me smile. Thank you for taking the time to brighten someone’s day. Keep safe.
Glad you've re-opened the Workshop. Nice to see the Executive Chair filled again. Mushrooms signal Fall around the corner, a welcome thought in the Arizona heat.
Possibly one of your best little Carving's Doug luv him
Hi Doug, another great little project - I love it, actually.
If it's any help to anyone, I was taught as a trainee carpenter (bar fitter) many years ago that tea bags are great for darkening. It's got me out of many a tight corner over the decades. So, if using linseed or any other oil that is 'clear' (there's nothing wrong with sunflower, vegetable or even olive oil), soak a few tea bags in hot water while making a cuppa for yourself, squench them out into a saucer, then dip them back into the dark brew and dab them where required; wait for it to dry then oil over them. I've used the technique many times to age (or antique) small sections when repairing old doors and trim with inserts of new wood. Repeat as many times as required - it works!
It's all about using whatever you have at hand, I guess.
I stumbled across ur videos a while back and they made me want to try carving... I’ve since carved all ur tutorial projects... Been waiting for something new to carve.... Thank u and keep um coming..
Do you recommend any knifes, I’m planning on buying some and starting carving ASAP
I went to Amazon, Type in wood carving knives.. They got a set of Two knives and a scoop with a leather strop and Gloves for around $25 .. it’s perfect for beginners..
Seeing how much you love and enjoy each of your projects as you carve them brings a huge smile to my face
Now carving number five - such a lovely quick project that de-stresses me after work. Two similar to yours; two tiny ones carved leaning against each other and now doing one with an owl perched on the top! Thank you
That's a nifty little Fun-Guy
Good to see you back.
Thank you again Doug looks like you had too much fun
Thanks for taking the time to put these videos out. It really helps us who are getting started in this hobby.
You're my hero with no glove. Without one I mostly carve my fingers 😮 thank you for your great tutorials!
Thank you for teaching us the enjoyable way to carve. Enjoy watching all of your videos...carving or bushcraft.
Yay!!!! Doug is back. Missed you. Thank you for the video. I saw your mushroom on Instagram and just had to do one for myself. Came out pretty good. Thanks for spending time with us. Have a great day with a nice hot cup of coffee. Lol. Thanks Doug.
Thank you for making my day!! So enjoyable to watch your carvings come to life !!😊
I love your carving style doug
Wow Doug.
I didn’t recognise you for a moment, that’s a good look Buddy.

Thank you, Doug! You’ve made real for me something I’ve wondered about for years! Drawing is fun too, but man, when your grandkids can poke him the nose when you’re done or hang their stockings off him,👍👍👍
Have to admit Doug! That is one great little project. Have watched several times and have a few in process. Keep up the good work and the best of health to you and yours.
Fun to watch!
I love mushrooms ,, you do such amazing carvings
Really like the new digs Doug. The studio/shop relocate modification is always an interesting one.

Thanks again Doug ! Really appreciate these, 🤗 👍 !
Shrooms! Great tutorial Doug💯

Great job Doug!! Thank you.
I’ve been waiting for another video! Thanks! 😁
Hi Doug! Good to see you,
Such a cozy feeling watching you carving
Once again 🍄
Thanx💖
So happy Mushroom 😁! What a great idea to carve it!
Very nice one. I have been carving some mushrooms without faces. But am thinking on some with faces. Thanks for some ideas. Someday I'll be good at it.
You are truly gifted. We need to get you a dual camera setup so the second one is capturing the close up work. Thanks for sharing and teaching.
Good to see you back... hope your time away was very eventful and had lots of family time involvement.
those are the cutest little shroomy people!
Thank you Doug🙏🏼‼️I was literally looking at mushroom designs this week and, Boom, you do this. Great timing!👍🏻
It’s just so amazing to watch you do what you do Doug! 👍👍👍💯💯💯
From a 30 + year wood carver I would like to compliment your creativity and Imagination which are two traits that I am a bit lacking in.
Great job! Love the carving
Love the videos Doug, got my first knife recently and started carving. Having lots of fun, and it's very relaxing. I made the worst mistake already and cut a piece off the tip of my finger lol. Not gonna let it get me down, was a good learning experience. You're videos are very informative, interesting, and inspiring. Thanks for the new long term hobby 👍🏻
yes doug you are all into wood carving and i've been into working with metel for over 50yrs making all kind of parts and working automobiles doing different wax jobs i came up with and people were allways taking photos when the rain hit my car and many other peoples cars i waxed.
Doug another great video we thank you for making this tutorial you are doing a great job with all your video and we are learning a lot from them . keep up the good work looking forward to the next video . you also did a great job on your last video with the Ultimate Bushcraft Shelter I say yes on building the bushcraft camp . we would enjoy watching video's of the bushcraft camp on your land
I would like to thank you for the great videos. I'm a big fan of you. 🇩🇪🇺🇸
Looks like lots of fun, I think I may give it a try. Thanks Doug
I’ve watched several others carve and all were enjoyable, but you and your tutorials are what cost me money. I bought my first knife, some basswood and just finished my first one. It’s rough and ugly but with a bit of imagination one can actually make it out to be a WoodSpirit. LOL. Keep up the good work and thx.
Started this as soon as I saw it. Stopped the video, went and got a piece of wood.
Deceptively complex, at least for me, of course it always takes me about 2hrs to finish carving your 'simple, fast, and easy' figures, and another couple hours to paint them. Not complaining though, it's all great fun, if I'm carving, I'm happy. Getting the hat taper to look right was the hardest part, but I haven't done the gills yet, had to take a break. Love your little projects, please keep em coming..
Thank you!
PS, been wondering if you were OK, hope you were just off in the canoe on some remote Canadian backwater enjoying the summer.
Thanks again, Doug, for an excellent training video!
Very nice to see your explain carvin video. we have the same Gnome in
France (Bretagne ). so i'm going to trail one you show.
Nice to see you back with a carving video. He is really neat and it is enjoyable to watch you carve. By the way. Snot trough is the terminology I was told years ago when I was starting carving. 👍
Thank you Doug! Another great project!
Woowhoo!!! I can see you now Mr Doug! 😳🤭🙃🤓😁
Great one Doug. With something new for us newbies. Thanks.
Awesome Doug!!! Loved it!!
Another excellent tutorial, Doug, and I will give it a try after I finish the bear. :) Thanks for the tutorial.
Been subscribed to the channel for a bit for the outdoor stuff but the more I see your wood carving videos, I've finally caught the bug. Going to my local store today to get my first knife kit based on your early tutorial videos. I think I'm gonna do the pumpkin carving first. Thanks for the videos Doug!!!
Thanks always enjoy you tubes. 😇🇨🇦
Love it. Thanks for taking the time to create this video.
Love the mushroom man !!!

Nice mushroom, Godspeed!👍🇺🇸
Wonderful little mushrooms. My husband and I grow shiitake mushrooms. I think I might try these.
Another keeper! Any little projects you can think up, I and the other new carvers are eating them up. (Just have to look at any of the carving sites in FaceBook.). You are inspiring a whole new generation of carvers. Good on ya. 😃
Thanks Doug. Nice one✌️
Doug!! No beard??? I like it👍 those little mushroom guys would make a great novelty chess set. They could be the pawns, your nomes could be the other characters. Would have to do one on a animal, like a unicorn. Just saying.... Love them. 👏🏻
As always, a great tutorial! Very creative!
