Doug I wish there were more wood carvers like you who explains how and what they are doing the only way for the younger generation of wood carvers to learn is by watching someone with patience and kinda laid back thanks again for the video's keep them coming Ronnie
If im not watching his camping videos im watching his wood craving i find it relaxing cuase im learning and douggie looks like a great guy to be around always positive attitude
Doug, you've revitalized my faith in myself carving figurines. Just yesterday i watched your penguin tutorial and made an owl. Today I followed this pumpkin vid abd i ended up with a pineapple lol. How? I'm not even sure myself. But, happy little accidents. Ended up painting the pineapple and made it into SpongeBobs home. Thanks for sharing these 👍🍻
Been watching your video for a while now. I've been carving for around 3 years doing faces, I want to thank you for helping me add the bodies. Thanks great videos
Oh great, now my wife wants me to carve a pumpkin, very cool. I like the way you display your carvings too. Thanks for the show and tell, you make it easy for a beginner like me.
Doug, these instructional videos of yours are great. I spend a few hours outside each day doing your carvings when I'm up at my cabin. It's basically how I'm learning to carve.
Great demonstration. Pumpkin with real character. Almost like the regular orange of it before / without the antiquing. Keep it up, do more demos please.
You have inspired me like crazy...I have watched all your intro to carving videos and now have made several of your little carvings!!! This pumpkin guy turned out so good for a beginner carver! I can’t thank you enough for your tutorials...i could not carve without them! I am looking forward to the day when I can carve on my own! I love your carvings...you are so super talented!!!!!
Remarkable talent Doug, an early sunday morning treat watching you carve that figure. You remind me of that bushy haired guy on PBS who taught us to paint. Great job on the carving, and the painting as well. Just like something you`d find in a store. Thank You for sharing your video, and your amazing talent. ATB
Hey Doug, another great job! I can’t tell you how grateful I am that I stumbled on your videos just a few months ago. I am addicted to both your videos and to carving. Still waiting for the “Native American” in real time but will do the other’s till your ready. My wife is shopping for a display case as I now have about 20+ pieces! Thank you Doug and keep them coming. Love the pumpkin by the way.
The eyes were more than worth the wait! I chuckled the whole time. Mouth was great too! With your sense of humor, can a hand grenade sequel be forming soon? I got my Basswood today. The layering of the depth always escaped me until I watched your videos. Good job, I’m a fan!
I choke up on my knife like that and the banging on the table was driving me nuts. I sawed off the tip and rounded that tail. Now it works for me. Thanks for the tutorial. Doug keep on keeping on.
Hi Doug! I am new to your carving videos, and cannot get enough of them. The way you present everything is just incredible, you seem to really enjoy the work, and you make the hobby feel very accessible to someone who has never put blade to wood before! It’s the mark of a true artist to make something so beautiful feel like anyone could do it, and I wanted to commend you for it. You are truly an artist, and your art is absolutely wonderful - AND you definitely have me wanting to get my hands on some basswood and a knife! Keep up the great work, all the best! EDIT: I can’t believe my auto correct just changed your name on me. LOL! So if you saw that before I corrected it.....oops! Sorry about that. 🤦🏻♂️
Hey Doug...I don’t comment very often but I’ve been watching your videos for some time now. I really enjoy them. You’re an inspiration. Keep up the good work!
Doug. Thank you so much for doing these videos. I really appreciate how you teach us to do these figures. You have an amazing talent and God bless you for sharing this. Your tutorials are easy to follow and "top notch". No pun intended! Keep up the great work and thank you again for showing us how to do it.
Thanks Doug. I do about 7 of an item each year for Christmas gifts and they are usually Christmas themed but this year it is the 'Doug Pumpkin'. Mine dont look as cool as yours but you gotta keep trying. Thanks again
Another great carving and video. These are so helpful to anyone learning to wood carve and also for someone carving for a while. Thank you Doug for posting all of these videos, I learn something with every video I view. Cheers
Checked out Larry Green's Instagram and thought his christmas tree was adorable with that goofy side eye look. thank again Doug! Love your relaxing videos.
just did the follow-a-long on this today, what fun ! thanks ! I did your little man last week but doubled the size. Came out ok... I was using what I think was green sycamore and it was a challenge to carve.
I love watching your videos, you have an extremely soothing voice. my son has a difficult time when it comes to bed time, after our usual bedtime routine of books and brushing teeth, he'll sit still long enough to fade away during your videos,,, entertaining for me and calming for him. I think I want to take up carving. ;)
I would have never thought of the antiquing medium...it really makes it pop, and look like an heirloom passed down through the years at the same time! Nice idea.
I really enjoy your videos. I have recently got my first carving knife for Christmas and carved my first pumpkin. I got the Flexcut hip knife. This video was a great help and I hope to see more. Thanks again.
When I paint on the eye lids, i use the same color that i used on the face, but i water it down a bit more to make it a little lighter. kind of gives a good effect. thanks for your videos!
Lol thanks Doug....I always enjoy your carving videos....I also like your camping, canoe / bushcraft stuff too but the lighter side of life things really add to your channel I think.
As some great guy ( I know him from You Tube, paddling around with some other great guy named Joe) once said: " Don't bei a Doug wear a glove ! I like Mr. Pumpkinhead, one fine day I'll try carving!
This guy is the bob ross of wood whittling! Love it
Bob Ross is full on gangsta! Lol.
That's what I said
Good analogy!
No stinett sticks is the boss of wood carving
He’s Amazing at making walking sticks.
I like to call it carving not whittling. :)
Doug I wish there were more wood carvers like you who explains how and what they are doing the only way for the younger generation of wood carvers to learn is by watching someone with patience and kinda laid back thanks again for the video's keep them coming Ronnie
If im not watching his camping videos im watching his wood craving i find it relaxing cuase im learning and douggie looks like a great guy to be around always positive attitude
you make it look so simple. I look at a block of wood and see nothing, you see so many possibilities. Thanks for showing me what I should see.
Doug, you've revitalized my faith in myself carving figurines. Just yesterday i watched your penguin tutorial and made an owl. Today I followed this pumpkin vid abd i ended up with a pineapple lol.
How? I'm not even sure myself. But, happy little accidents. Ended up painting the pineapple and made it into SpongeBobs home.
Thanks for sharing these 👍🍻
I really like the live chat last night ! Thanks We miss you and it's nice of you to touch base with us !
Just starting at age 80. Very relaxing. 20 years from now l might be fair.
Davey lamp looks great.
Enjoying the videos.
That little "Plink" sound is so satisfying as each chip flies off.
Joe Robinet brought me here.great carving.👍💟
Very impressive! I love pumpkins.
Been watching your video for a while now. I've been carving for around 3 years doing faces, I want to thank you for helping me add the bodies. Thanks great videos

Thanks! Great job explaining for slow people like me.
Hey Doug . A hot cup of mud and a Doug vid nice way to start a Sunday morning . I think the great pumpkin would be pleased lol . Great vid take care.
Love your display shelf you put up.
Doug, these instructional videos of yours are great. I spend a few hours outside each day doing your carvings when I'm up at my cabin. It's basically how I'm learning to carve.

You make it look so easy.
Enjoyed your video, and my carving came out quite nice. Good fun!!
Now that I’m done working on my jeep I’m going to go try to carve me a little pumpkin head too thanks for the idea Doug
Great vid, now to a full size one for the front porch. Thanks for sharing.
+ted a ha -check out my chainsaw pumpkin carving video
You make it seem so easy.
I just love a guy with a hobby!!
Very much enjoyed the instructional video. I like the sometimes serendipitous nature of 3D art. Thank you.
You have inspired me like crazy...I have watched all your intro to carving videos and now have made several of your little carvings!!! This pumpkin guy turned out so good for a beginner carver! I can’t thank you enough for your tutorials...i could not carve without them! I am looking forward to the day when I can carve on my own! I love your carvings...you are so super talented!!!!!

Bob Ross :-)
That`s him, Thank You Linda
I loved watching him as well. Doug should have his own show on PBS
Doug is very entertaining. I'd love to see him on tv!
Yes he is
Jack, I was thinking the same thing...Doug is like the Bob Ross of basswood.
thanks for all your carving videos, i really enjoy it, greetings from austria/europe.

I was hoping you’d have something here this morning. Thanks, I know I’ll enjoy it.✌🏼
I choke up on my knife like that and the banging on the table was driving me nuts. I sawed off the tip and rounded that tail. Now it works for me. Thanks for the tutorial. Doug keep on keeping on.
That’s brilliant Doug keep up the great videos

this looks like a fun little project for my halloween table with the salt and pepper shakers....
i've got alot of birch branches fair good sized is that a good wood for carving...i'm just a beginner
I would have never thought of the antiquing medium...it really makes it pop, and look like an heirloom passed down through the years at the same time! Nice idea.
Thank you for making these videos. I really enjoy watching them and I learn a lot.
I really enjoy your videos. I have recently got my first carving knife for Christmas and carved my first pumpkin. I got the Flexcut hip knife. This video was a great help and I hope to see more. Thanks again.

When I paint on the eye lids, i use the same color that i used on the face, but i water it down a bit more to make it a little lighter. kind of gives a good effect. thanks for your videos!
