Trying to follow the Pattern for the
Santa Study Stick that I found through the
Beginners Carving Corner and Beyond: Beginners tutorials and links that I mentioned in my previous Post.
 I started with a piece of wood that I found under the house (wich probably isn't the best place to start).
As a result, while I can guess that it is probably pine, I do not know for sure. |
 I started the first few cuts, and then progressed on with the carving, only realizing too late that I had made the face too small. Instead of extending back about 2/3rds of the way into the wood, my carving only extends a little under 1/2 way.
Well, I guess that is what they call the learning process... |
 I haven't finished yet, but this is where I was up to when I finished off last night. |
Hayden, He's a Santa all right. And he looks a whole lot better than my first attempt. Tell me some more about the tools you are using..Thanks

I used a cheap set of carving tools from the local hardware store (I decided not to spend too much before I had a go at carving). You can see the three that I tried using to the side in the last photo.
