    Doug, thanks for this carving. I am a beginner and this is way beyond me, but I really enjoyed watching it. I believe I have learned from it. The man was in there all along and just needed to be released. I am reminded of the man who had a large rock and making a horse when someone watching him asked, "How in the world do you do that?" The carver replied, "I just take off everything that does not look like a horse." That is exactly what you have done, took off everything that does not look like the man.
    I am amazed and in awe. Thanks again.

    Doug It's because of you with your simple carvings that i started carving. And to see this program it just makes me want to carve even more. I gave my neighbor your name to look up and he also is carving now. I hope your work keep's inspiring people to carve. I carved your bear design on top of a walking stick and put a wood spirt below the bear. And i use what ever wood i can see that fits my needs.

    Doug - Another great video! Your enthusiasm for carving really comes across in these videos and is contagious. The variety of subject matter plus your easy going relaxed style makes for a very entertaining and educational experience. Sometimes I feel as if you're carving right next to me and I've learned a lot by watching you. Also, your videos of trips to the bush and scrounging for wood are like a breath of fresh air.

  • @douggreene340
    @douggreene340 Před rokem

    I dont know if it has been mentioned yet by others but I feel one of the greatest maybe unintentional teaching moments in this video is you are just using larger sized tools so what you do is virtually the same on smalls...the best is when you do the eyes on this carve, on the smalls it is very difficult to see the angles clearly but with this carve you can. Please continue with your craft I look forward to seeing more of your down to earth humble journey.
