Woodspirit Christmas Ornaments
« 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.
