Mob "O" Gnomes


Time for some wood carvin stuff! Every now and then I like to switch from carving Santas to carvin something else. Gnomes kind of fill the bill. Not much of a change. But I like Gnomes. There are so many different expressions that you can do. So many sizes too. Most Santas are about the same. This Mob "O" Gnomes is the result of several carving sessions. One of these days I'll carve a"lead Gnome", and have him directing these Gnomes in song.

Tom,

Do you happen to have an etsy shop? Your work is great, and I'm sure that many people would jump at the chance to own some of it.

Tracy talked you into blogging....I'm sure she can talk you into etsy as well!!

I don't even know what etsy is, hee hee! I'll have to ask her. Thanks for stopping by...

These guys are so special. Can you show us what you start with, the piece of wood? Do you start from the top down or face first?

Yes, etsy would be good but then you would need a huge pile. Demand might take the fun out of it.

I'll try to post a photo that includes the various steps of the carving. Next couple of days...

What he is too humble to tell you is he was featured on the cover of Woodcarver Magazine last spring....
