    Hi! Im a 27 year old woman from Wisconsin and ever since I was a kid I wanted to wood carve. A dream once forgotten but now I'm taking a hiatus from my other lived hobbies and I rediscovered wood carving! Your video is one of many I've watched in the last few days. However, your video is my favorite for the simple fact that I feel like I'm right there next to you, enjoying coffee, the sounds of nature and just hanging out with a buddy. Great video sir! I can't wait to look at your other videos!

      @@marca5883 Your right there is! But they're all very very small and insignificant compared to what Doug has around him. UK forests are in poor condition meaning they don't always have a thriving ecosystem from the smallest insect to the largest mammal. They often have large roads cutting through them also. Did you know we're the worst country for tree cover in the whole of the G7 countries. It's about to get alot worse aswell with all the large infrastructure projects these busy bodies are passing through aswell as the cost of living crisis that's caused a rise in log burners which guess what = more trees for the chop.

    When I watched you carve the large wood spirits, I thought the faces were terrific. I also thought they were not for me - I did not want to invest in larger tools and I simply prefer smaller caricatures. However, when I watched you carve a small wood spirit in a stick, I decided to try one. Thank you so much for the fabulous tutorials. You got me started on this great hobby and you have been my number one mentor ever since. I now completely understand the appeal of whittling wood spirits in a “found” piece of wood. God bless.

    Love your videos Doug! I believe the detail you put on the underside of this mushroom with your v tool are called veins or gills depending on the species of mushroom!😊 keep up the great content sir! Love your channel!🙏

    Your tutorials got me into carving, Doug. Love the variety of the work you do and the dowel/round stick series is great. Thanks...

    I'm just over 30, and I'm loving your videos, it gives me so much more confidence in my own carvings, when you say it's good just to carve little simple things, it doesn't always have to be super complex to be skilled ♥
