Title: Woodspirit Christmas Ornaments
Post by: madcrow on December 29, 2012, 09:36:16 pm

I was messing around trying to come up with some ornaments adn turned out a few of these.  Throw a boggin on the head and its Santa.  Change the boggin and carve an open mouth with a couple of teeth and you have a hillbilly.  All of these were done with a thin blade whittling knife.  No special tools needed.

Thanks guys.  I am working on my speed with these right now.  It takes about ten minutes to make one so thats not too bad.  I will post some pics of the hillbillys when i get tehm painted.

Thanks fellas.  As soon as I knock out a few other little projects, I think I will put some of them up for trade.  Maybe a half dozen to set.
