Originally wanting to carve only long enough to make money to record his first two albums, he has become one of the best at his craft and is currently building his store (Texas Chainsaw Masters) in "downtown" Manchaca, Texas. According to his Website, one of the neatest pieces (a cowboy) was stolen by a high school kid and was left out in the woods. Once he brought it out for a party Doug found out and there was a raid. Needless to say he has the cowboy back.

Not only does he do hand carvings, but he is also pretty handy at making western furniture chairs and tables. He can weld and he can turn a raggedy old car into his own red, white, and blue Texas "Cattleac," which he calls either the "Official Car of Texas Music" or just "The Big Car."

Doug's smart dog, Jalapeno, is sometimes a partner up on stage whether that means fiddlin' or just singing along. Just recently Jalapeno has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and has taped an episode of Animal Planet's "Pet Star" show because of his fiddlin' abilities.

The songs Doug sings are often funny and witty and there is always a song or two having to do with Texas ("Heaven or Austin" or "Texas Thing") in his set list or on his albums. He sense of humor is apparent in everything he does which makes his music all the more fun to listen to.
