    -i set out in this video with a piece of Cottonwood bark and an idea to carve a Leprechaun and as it turns out upon completion i remembered that a true Leprechaun only has a chinstrap for a beard, thus the title the Irishman lol
    -most tools used in this video are Pfeil

    Walking my dog in the park today and I spotted a mother and her son carving on a park bench. We started a conversation and turns out we both learned to carve watching Doug Linker videos. Thank you, Doug for all that you share.

    No need for background music or commentary, just watching the carving and sculpting and listening to the sounds of the wood are relaxing. Really cool!

    My gosh man, I have watched these videos for years now and they never cease to amaze me. Your ability in carving and artistry is second to none. I will just continue to watch and practice. Thanks for keeping the great content going. 👍🏻👍🏻

    I've been a carpenter for 42 years but only recently started whittling and carving - and I think this video shows something to aspire to in the long term. I know from experience in my trade that getting good (I mean 'very good', in the eyes of others) doesn't happen over night - you have to want it, practise it and earn it! That is one good reason to watch these inspiring videos.

    Brilliant. He looks better fed than in the traditional depictions. I seriously love the eyes. The facial expression is fantastic. So well done Doug. Thanks for sharing.

    Absolutely love this! There is something so satisfying about hearing and watching your chisels move through that Cottonwood bark. Thanks for putting this video together.

    Doug, you are the Michelangelo of wood carving. I really enjoy all of your videos. You inspired me to start whittling, I got a starter set and I can't wait to start.

    Doug a few short years ago you were a rookie with a new hobby. Now you are an artist that teaches a variety of skills in a variety of ways. The novice can access the archives and those of us who have watched for quite awhile grab nuances that you are kind enough to share. Tremendous stuff! Thanks for what you do.

    Amazing work Doug.
    You never cease to amaze me. Well done.
    I follow your videos closely as I wait for my first delivery. Made my roughing knife from a half-shank steak knife. Ground it to rough shape with emery belt sander, then moved to 220, 320, 500, 800, 1000, & 1500 grit wet/dry. Then stropped it with my raw leather cow hide.
    My gloves, other knives and finger tape due March 22nd. In the meantime, I watch you, Gene, and others.
    Cheers and God Bless.
    Vernon.

    I love the Silent carvings because that's what I want when carving/whittling .... Silence! It allows me to think and stay focused on the task at hand. I'm ADHD and I hyper focus when I am doing stuff like this. I'm guilty of clicking the mute button when I watch videos. Not that I know everything, I know very little 😂 I'm just a visual learner.. I'm sure there's others out there that know what I'm talking about. Thank you Doug! This was a treat to watch and a beautiful piece. ☘️☘️💰

    Mate another really great video. You obviously have years of experience. You've inspired me to have a crack and give it a go. Obviously I know perfection won't come at the first several dozen try's. How long did it take you to carve the figure? You seem to use a reasonable amount of force with the chisel at times. So how do you fix mistakes? Ie: accidentally took his nose off or carved a little to deep splitting the wood, or carved a line to far.
