    Doug, love your videos. I'm recovering from some medical stuff that had me too fatigued to carve for the last several months. This project is perfect for me to retrain and strengthen hands and wrists. Getting back means a lot to me and my wife. She teared up when she saw I am back in the game. Many thanks!

      Hi scott McElroy, I am just starting out with wood carving. Back in August I had C-spine surgery, which had me down for 3 months. Only to break my ankel on DECEMBER 1st. needing to have surgery one week later. So now I am back down and cant walk for 6-12 weeks, due to the type of injury I recieved. now I am trying to stay positive, so I picked up my carving knife that I bought several years ago but did nothing with. So far I have learned how to strop my knife and I have carved Dougs new Owl and the pocket penguin. Due to my neck muscels needing more time to recover I can only carve for a short time, with the exception of my faith in Jesus, wood carving is the only thing keeping me going right now. I really needed to see your post this morning. I am wiping back my tears as I write this. Thank you Scott. My new montra, " Life sucke? Trust Jesus, start wood carving". I hope you Get better soon, I will be prqying for you. Brian

    I have looked with envy at how easy Doug carves his basswood and he doesn't like to talk about the moisture content.
    I struggled with mine (which had a moisture content of 10%), so I decided to try an experiment. I put a block on the radiator for 2 weeks and moisture content dropped to zero. It cuts without much effort!
    So, getting it as dry as possible will help!

    You were talking about people asking about wood and knives. Some bass wood us softer and some knives are sharper. In one of your older videos you said you were a carpenter, which is a hands on hard work occupation. Your hands are young and strong enough to make carving stone look easy. The way you teach makes things easy to follow and you choose easy things to carve. Keep up the good work.

  • @josh-k

    I’ll be coming back to watch this, not watching it now, just wanted to let ya know on an easier to see video, you’re a great teacher, especially as a learner. Though I’ve been learning and doing other little projects and stuff I oddly like watching your videos on anything, while I whittle something absolutely un connected. Explaining the cut you’re making has slowly made me memorize certain habits that I prefer. The way you display and show your work/working is amazing when it comes to getting “click” moment. Love your videos, and dad humor.

    Hi Doug, I just finished carving my 6th pocket penguin. I didn't think he was going to make it, so I had to revive him with a little 320 sand paper. I know, its tragic but He is doing much better now. I will be naming him "Smooth Mike" : ) I will be painting him later today. I also started roughing out the simple, fast and easy Owl this morning. Thank you so much for putting on all these Tutorials, woodcarving and your videos have changed my life for the better. Thank you.
    (Doug's lesson of the day) " If you mess up, make a smaller Penguin" . it works, it really does work.

    Thanks for you easy going approach to showing us the joys of wood carving and how accessible it can be to anyone. You introduced the “V” tool in this carving, which next to the knife is one of the most useful tools when working on small carvings. It would be greatly appreciated if you could talk about the “V” tool in more detail in an upcoming video. I would be very interested to hearing your perspective as to what sizes and angle degrees you reach for most often when doing your small carvings. Your videos are greatly appreciated and you have taught me much with it comes to the joys of wood carving. It is a very relaxing hobby that does not take much space or investment in tools to enjoy! Your efforts in promoting the joy of carving is greatly appreciated!

    Super, 1 inch x 1 inch carving. A lot of demonstrations seem to use 1 1/2 inch x 1 1/2inch Bass wood. Here in the Uk we can mostly only get 1x1 + 2x2 packs of Bass wood. In the past I have tried to get some Bass from the USA via Amazon. Postage to the UK tends to be more costly than the wood itself. Keep up the good work Doug. I'm 74 and took up whittling last year.
