Here is a little quickie I did yesterday while my son and I were trying ot figure out how to make a video to upload. We finally gave upon the video but the figure turned out pretty good. He stands just a little over 8" in his moccasins and I hope to do a couple of others to go along with him in some sort of scene.....maybe standing in the snow roasting a hot dog or something. There are more photos in the Gallery and I'll post some additional ones once he's painted up.

Lynn, a "quickie"?? This looks incredible. Can you tell us how long it actually took to complete the carving and what size block did you start with? Thanks much and great work.
ReplyDeleteTom: As this fella is just a little over 8" I found the block for him in the cut-off bin. If I had to punch a clock when doing him I imagine it would be somewhere around 3 hours but I don't work that way, especially with grandkids to play with and tease.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn! Really amazing work here in a day. Sure provides a great amount of inspiration to the rest of us. I'd be happy to give up three weeks to carve up a Little Joe Beaver like this. Thanks a million for sharing all this with the rest of us. Truly priceless stuff.
ReplyDeleteLynn-On your carving's,you do the head's separate. On this one do you add the side braided hair after doing the head or is one piece?

Curt: Yes, I do the heads seperate and then attach the braids once I determine the best head position. I dowel them on.
