- back with another woodcarving tutorial and this one is the caricature bear.It's a fun little whittle that anyone can do even as a beginner.i start out with a block of Basswood that is 1 1/2" square and roughly 2 3/4" tall although with a little math you can make any size you want to.The only tool i am using is a knife and in my case today it's a Helvie 1 3/4" roughout knife
-if you are new to the channel i would invite you to subscribe and also dig into the playlists that i have put together where i go over the basics of woodcarving and answer most questions you might have -thanks for watching and i'll see you back soon - บันเทิง
Doug, I’m an elementary school principal. I carved one of these little bears and gave it to a kindergartener who was having a hard time adjusting to school. He carries it in his pocket now. It made a positive difference for several people… him, his parents, his teachers. Just wanted to say thank you. I’ll be carving more.
You’re a good man Will.
@@gcarmen4490 was about to say the same thing lol
That is so cool.
Dang this made me so happy. Ty. After what my sons gone through last year, this brought a whole lot of tears to my eyes. Sure wish someone as compassionate as you had been at our school. We need more ppl like you; both as educators and as humans in general.
I got tears in my eyes, so kind of you✨Happy New Year ✨
DOUG: The Bob Ross of wood carving... 😊
"If I never carve better than that, I could care less. I love these little guys." Humble dude... good stuff.
Your the only woodcarver i watch
Just finished whittling my first bear for my 2 yo daughter thanks to watching this video. Going to watch more and make more.
I love the fact that u didnt draw a bear on the wood, just some straight lines. I'm gonna get me a sharp knife and try some of these. Thanks.🇮🇪🇮🇪
I am young but I’ve just started wood carving and your videos have really helped me and I’ve leaned tips and tricks from you. And with all this covid stuff wood carving is something I enjoy doing thanks
I'm old bur so you are.
I'm geting lowe wood curwing and another woodt working 👍
Hi
I’m addressing my message to the people I discovered who are helping me to stay calm in those covid day’s !
Since I’m about seven years old, I started to learn sharpening and use pocket knives that I had in my Boy’s Scout tool kit.
Fifty years later, I still literally adore sharpening Knifes of any kinds, a knife is never to sharp !
About 2 to 3 years ago, I started Chip carving and gouge chisel carving, yes I like it specially chip Carving.Recently , looking to a magazine (
woodcarving) I tried myself on a Fisherman Christmas tree ornement and I really discovered something I liked.
After finishing my project , I looked at different video on you tube, I discovered that Whittling is such a wonderfull art. Then came the TH-cam
video’s of Doug (Linker) … ho wow … such a great teacher with a nice and modest and generous way of teaching his art.
Thank you all of you that generously give us the newbies this technique to help us become more quiet and relaxed persons !
I really appreciate to discover something that I had inside me that I wasn’t ’t able to express because of my lack of artistic skils ! I realy stink when comes times of drawing a sketch ! With Doug tutorial I find it much more easy to tackle complex carving models .
Thant You so much !
From a Quebec Canadian who loves wood working !
Richard.
( sorry for my imperfect mastering of English language !)
Thx Doug. I had a bear-y good time watching.
that was so cheesey
*_and i love it_*
It's great to watch you carve and talk. Feels like an old time friend we've ever known without ever meeting. It's fun
Here in Northern Ireland we’ve been putting teddy bears in the windows so the kids can play a game of finding them when their out getting their daily exercise & we are also putting a rainbow up to show support for the health care workers. I’m going to carve one for every colour of the rainbow to kill two birds etc. Cheers for the idea & for keeping us entertained
🐻😍💟🧸🌈🐾👍✨
What a cute idea. I hope they came out well. 😊🐻🐾
I’ve seen lots of rainbows but no bears, could be hibernating I guess..
How bout a rainbow bear!!!!
Excited to see my husband's 1st carved bear from your awesome tutorial video
I am a new carver and have followed and watched all your tutorials. You are an awesome carver and teacher. I think you should publish a book on your carvings. I would be the first to purchase it. I think many beginners and regular carvers would agree. Thanks for sharing.
There's something therapeutic about the sound of the knife cuttiing into the wood. Very ASMR. Great video 👍
🎵 If you go down to the woods today.....🎵
Time for a Teddy-bear's picnic video I think....love the channel Doug, keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
🐻😊💗🧸🐾👍✨
Great video Doug. I think the only thing keeping us Whittlers sane is a piece of wood and a whittling knife. I couldn't go a day without whittling.
I’m new at carving and sire enjoy all the videos, I’ve found them very helpful! I’m 76 years old and wish I would have started this hobby years ago !!!!
Should have gone to bed an hour ago. Worth the lack of sleep. Very enjoyable video! You are like Bob Ross in wood carving. Thanks for sharing your craft.
Never been a carver, you have made me interested. Thanks!
I know I am late to comment because this video came out a while back but I just want to say that you inspired me to start carving wood I am young but I find this very interesting to me and it’s a fun hobby and I want to thank you for sharing your skills with us to help me be able to make these I just ordered a kit yesterday so I will be trying to make one of these right when I get my kit thank you
Doug your videos inspired me to start carving. Now I combine knife and dremel techniques to do walking sticks. Thank you.
Those bears you've carved or whittled are cute and gorgeous.
You have a keen eye for the detail! Super great job on the bear!👌👏👏👏👏
I'm ill in bed with flu, your videos are the virtual chicken soup I need right now. Awesome stuff, thank you
I love the little bears, who doesn't? Great learning carving tool. I'm enjoying my new hobby, mostly thanks to you Doug.
You said a quick little project but it took me 3 nights lol 😂 love it I’m definitely making more. Thanks
haha Yeah everything takes longer when you're new to it. How long is it taking you now?
@@AMindInOverdrive about 1/2 the time now.
@@davecurda2350 Nice! Keep up the good work. I'm considering taking up this hobby :-)
You are by far the best whittling teacher online, sir! Thanks a lotty for showing instead of boasting. I've made lots of your projects, wish you would make a hundred more videos. Thanks again!
This guy is like a Bob Ross of wood carving
You will never know how much I enjoy your video's. I have learned so many techniques from you which have helped me as a new carver. Thank you ever so much.
I also just enjoy the feeling of calmness and focus when you carve, it’s a meditative thing!! Thanx Doug, they’re awful cute🐾🐻
I just read through the comments. to the young carver , carving if you don’t watch out can be a obsession. in the past I sometimes go a week with only maybe 20-30 hours sleep plus working a. full time job, don’t forget don’t hold your breath while carving. I caught myself many times doing it. I was truly obsessed with my work. I don’t get like that anymore. this may sound strange but a lot of good carvers have went through this before. take care of your self. nana and papa aka the hunter
Wow! That’s talent. No words.
Thank you Doug. I have 13 grands so now plenty carving time.
Another great tutorial, Doug! Thanks for freely sharing your talent and love of carving with us all.
Those are really cool. Thank you for the video. Have a great day and God bless you and your family.
Excellent instructions, can’t wait to give it a try!
I just stopped in the comments to tell you how truly inspired I am with your videos ☺️. I bought myself a carving kit to start practicing little projects like this until I can get really good at it .
Amazing video, I like the detailing of the toes, finger, nose, lip,
,
eyes and ears this will be my first project. I look forward to your other videos.
Thank you. Grandkids are gonna love this one. Appreciate the detail and clarity of your instructions. I always marvel at your ability as a teacher -- you are the best, hands down!
Thank you Doug, I really enjoy your carving videos. I carved a few of your previous bears and will definitely try a few of this edition!
Hey Doug, I hope you, Sophie and the family are well. This is a wonderful project and I will make a couple of these guys next week. As always, you make it fun and you have a way of inspiring us to learn. I started to carve because of you somewhere in 2017 I think beginning with the stick chicken and I have made just about everything you have taught us. Thank you Doug for introducing me to this great hobby. God Bless You sir!
Thank you. I’m about to return to work,a bit nervous so this will really take my mind off it. Many thanks.
Aine O' Neill stay confident and most importantly enjoy!
Love this little bear -- thank you for sharing this video with us.
i have been watching this video over and over to make my own, i had 8 little blocks of basswood and i have 8 grandchildren, so its taking me quite awhile to watch a few steps, turn off the video, carve the 8 bears and go back to the video but they are looking good , now to find beeswax recipe as i have a ton of beeswax, thanks for this video from me and my grandchildren.
Ever grateful that you share your skill with us. Thx Doug! Such a cute, comical bear.
Love the bear, he's a great little character. I think I'll give him a try next week. Thanks Doug, it's such a pleasure to watch your episodes.
Doug, thanks for tutoring and sharing. It's done wonders to kill spring fever and make Covid jailhouse bearable.
Never get tired of watching you Doug!
Fantastic carve.
When making that deep elbow crook cut, I find that cutting initially just short of the lines works better. Then after you get the bulk out, shave/sneak up to the lines. That will get rid of all the little cut marks. Hope that makes sense.
Your videos are awesome. My husband has enjoyed learning from your tutorials
Doug thank you for sharing your talent with us. You have made many people happy.
Great tutorial, I’ve been wanting to try carving for a couple years... carved my first bear yesterday and it came out pretty good - plenty of room for improvements but I was super happy with the results. The moose is definitely on my list and will try it soon. Thanks again
Doug, being relatively new to carving your videos are very inspiring and easy to follow. Got a new found passion and it's getting me through this lockdown nicely, thank you :)
Glad to see you back carving! Stay safe!!
Love the Bears! Sooo cute!
Those are great Doug, so blessed to have that talent. Thanks for the video, great job.
I just finished carving this bear and my wife says I should carve a few more for gifts. Great video!
These videos are awesome. I have always wanted to learn wood carving but never felt like I could actually do it until I came across your videos. Just ordered my supplies today. Thank you!
Thank you! excited to give this a try 😄
Very efficacious you are a good teacher thank you beautiful your so calm and smooth
Great Job!!!! Thanks for teaching me the art of Carving!! I enjoy sharing my carvings with people.. Keep up the great work.
Great video Doug! God bless you. Thanks for uploading these videos.
Enjoyed your tutorial Doug. Thanks for your guidance and ideas!
I don't comment much online. But felt the need to thank you for your videos and tutorials. I ain't got nothing but a Buck 110 folding knife. But after watching your videos. I got the need to want a carving blade to make this bear. I joke that I'm lucky to make a decent stick person drawing. But after watching 2 of your videos. You got me really wanting to give this bear a try. My wife and daughter would be shocked and love it if I made them one. Your video makes me feel like I can stop joking about my stick figure artistic limit. So again, I really thank you for your nice work and art. I'm a smoker and I think this art work could even help me quit finally. If I can do what your videos make me feel like I can do. I could quit smoking even and keep my mind and hands busy learning from your nice work. Thank you again a 3rd time even. Haha
Having already commented I must say I love the result of the end result.
Only one done so far and I plan on so so many more. Such a joy and smile I had once I had given the carved bear an oil/stain. I am watching this over and over and can see how gifted you are with how you can foresee the carves.
More bear carvings please!!!
Thank you. Ill try and carve these for my grandsons. Great instructions - nicely done
Doug, thank you so much for these awesome videos. I’ve been looking for a hobby and settled on craving. I’m glad I was able to find this channel, it’s giving me the instruction every beginner needs. I’m plugging along nicely, happy with what I’m able to do already and there’s plenty of room for improvement. I’m craving these bears for grandchildren and some younger kids that ride my school bus. Thanks for all you do and please keep it rolling!!!
Your carvings are wonderful. Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Very humorous at points.
I have successfully carved a few myself from your tutorials. Was even able to carve a "Bad Day Bear" for my wife's stressful work day, yesterday. I would not consider myself a Wood Carver yet but, I WILL be soon. Thanks to You.
Clearly the Bob Ross of wood. Excellent stuff. Thank you so very much
Just finished my first Linker Bear. Thank you so much for the video...I watched it 3 times then carved along with you.... I really appreciate your instruction and willingness to share.Thank you Doug!
Carved one of these for one of my grandsons. It was a lot of fun! I'm fairly new to carving and I really appreciate your taking the time to produce these videos. I just watched the moose tutorial and I'm going to do that next! Thanks!
Very good craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing this with us Doug! 👍😁
Doug you are still the Master but I did finished the carving and looked like a bear .Reviewing now trying to figure out how to finished and paint.
Thanks for teaching me and as you know they make people smile 😃
Thanks Doug. Love the bear and can’t wait to carve one
Thanks for your inspiration and tips throughout your videos. I'm a beginner who always wanted to learn how to carve with just a knife. This bear was an easy and satisfying carve.
The absolute best carving tutorials on utube ! Thanks again Doug !
Fascinating and really well done demonstration. Easy enough for a beginner to try. I hope I will feel that way after I give it a shot.
I love the “audience” of bears, hikers, etc. that are spectating at the carving show!
I finished my bear. Thanks Doug. I like it and hope I can do my next one as good as yours. I love your carving video’s.
😊😊 Just wanted to say thank you very much for putting the time into doing these videos.
I literally just got into wood carving.
Did the wizard now I wanna do the bear. I think I would have stopped with this if it wasn't for your videos telling me how to do it so that I could learn the proper cuts
Again thank you very much your videos are awesome
Thanks Doug I learn a lot from your carving videos.
You sir are the reason why I told my hubby to get me a carving set lol so excited to start working on something to carve. Thanks for the inspiration 😀
New to your channel. It came up in my suggestions, and I'm glad it did. A subscriber now, and plan to go back and watch more of your videos. I've been a crafter for a very long time, but never did wood carving, or sculpting. Two things I want to try still, before I get too old to do it.. haha You have motivated me to give it a shot. Thank you SO much. Even if I can't do it, I still enjoy watching you create. Beautiful work. Thank you so much. 💗💗💗
That is so comprehensible!
Thank you so much, I will make one for my niece, she loves bears.
First thing I have carved so far, wow it looks great. Thanks for the tutorial.
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I'm new to carving and love it, and these are really helping me understand the basics :)
Great beginner tutorial! I sent this to a couple of friends and let them know to wear a carving glove and thimble.
Thank you 😊
Hello Doug, I would love to buy two of the bears from you. So cute. I love them. I may try to start craving myself! Looks fun. You really know what you're doing. Thanks for the videos.
I love the sound of the carving - it reminds me of my Mum peeling potatoes when we were all younger 🤗👍
Doug, thanks so much for your great instruction.You have given me a hobby for life .
Hi Doug, I think the Bear is the best wood Bear I ever saw in the zero to six inch range.
I am totally happy with all you do on TH-cam.
I like the laid back approach you use.
Your wife joining you on Sat. nights makes it even better.
Impossible to please everybody so I am happy if you keep doing it your way!
Great little bear I tried one and my wife thinks it's cute so I made a slightly bigger one. They are great little projects thanks for sharing your work it's great that people like you do these so people like me can learn. Thank you
I was recently looking for a new hobby and I stumbled upon your videos. I love your work and it looks fun! I bought a cheap wood carving tool set off Amazon and cannot wait to try and make one of these bears. Thank you!
I enjoyed my first bear carve ever. My first carve was the owl, which was also fun. Thanksvfor the great training video Doug!
Such a talent!! Thank you for the videos, keep them coming!!😃😃
Hey Doug great video just made a bear only my third carving thanks alot for the inspiration.
Doug enjoyed watching the video ,then picked up a carving knife set and started carving mostly at nights.
Thanks Doug .
Hi Doug, thank you for the great TH-cam videos. I had a go at this bear, started out great. Two nights later I have a creature that resembles a 'ManBearPig'.
Thank you, Doug! For yet a new video/tutorial. Nice to see you are back in TH-cam Land! 🍀 🌷
About 2 weeks ago I decided to give whittling a try and started with the 5 minute wizard which didn't turn out too terrible so I gave it a few more tries and watched several more of your tutorials. I am not sure why but you remind me of Bob Ross, in a good way. Anyhow, I landed on this tutorial and decided to give it a try. As you would expect from a novice I made several mistakes and chipped the nose. The end result after trying to fix my mistakes, my bear looks more like a fat lion so that is what I will claim it to be. I could also see how this could be modified to be a pig. You make very good tutorials and I look forward to seeing more. Thanks for inspiring us new whittlers.
I also chopped the side of my first ones face to thin and it looked a bit deformed. I don’t think my knife is sharp enough I have real trouble with the wood just going stringy around the ears.
These are Adorable! 💜 I want one or better yet a family of bears for myself. Best instruction video I've seen for these. Thanks!
