Here's another gnome I made as a custom order for a Parrot head Club in North Carolina. They refer to the club as a group that likes to "party with a purpose". I can only think of one purpose, but maybe there's more. Anyway, this aging party animal is ready to go, with his can of Land Shark beer and "Fins Up!" hat. I really enjoy making these for people. It's so much more rewarding than just carving for the sake of carving, not that I don't enjoy that. The custom work is just a little better.Painting this is especially fun. I like coming up with the Hawaiian shirts.
About six months ago, my daughter and I was shopping looking for a changing table for a my youngest grandson. We didn't want to spend to much, but we wanted something of quality and the ones she kept picking out were outside the budget and I wasn’t to impress with the craftsmanship. So I what home and jumped online and did some research on what it would take to build my own table. That’s when I came across this great site called www.wood-working-made-easy.com. This thing that Ted put together came in so handy. I went looking for a changing table and came out with over 16,000 step-by- step woodworking plans that has made every projects I’ve done so far super easy, under budget, and nothing but the best quality craftsmanship out on the market today. No short cuts here, nothing but the best techniques laid out in a very formative format that made things super easy. Which in return, help me create quality craftsmanship and long lasting treasures. I was compelled to share this great site with others, in hopes this would help further your woodworking ambitions so you too, could start being proud of your projects.
ReplyDeleteI'm a beginner (finally started today) at wood carving and stumbled across your blog. I have to say I'm impressed as well as inspired by your work displayed here. You earned a follower as your blog is now part of my wood carving bookmark library. Also as far as this piece goes I just wanted to say that the detail on this piece is incredible, all the way down to the bandaid on the heel. Awesome stuff Don.
