A Gnome in Four Pieces Part 6

Here is the last video for carving on the Gnome. For me, the choice to make him in pieces was a good one. It made a lot of the work easier, though not necessarily faster. I will post one more video after this talking about painting. I decided not to texture the jacket, rather paint it to look more like denim.

Site of the Week: THINK LONG ISLAND FIRST

I admit it, this one is a little self-serving, but they asked me to help circulate it for them. They being a shop called Think Long Island First, located in Oyster Bay, Long Island. It is a small consignment shop featuring products hand-made by artists, authors, chefs and craftsman who live on Long Island. Recently, they asked to interview me for their blog and I complied. So, here it is. As a bonus, click the following link to see the interview they did for a fellow wood carver who sell his wares there as well.

A Gnome in Four Pieces Part 1

I have decided to do another version of the gnome I made in January. I'm experimenting with producing some edited videos for this one. Making a video of a project and having it be concise and easy to understand is harder than I thought. Hopefully, I'll improve as I go. Viewer comments would be very helpful and appreciated, so please feel free to leave one. Here's Part 1.
